Twelve Days of Homeschool

I have seen this several times before and came across it again so I thought I'd post it here for friends and family to enjoy :)  Not sure who the author is to give proper credit, but here you go!

Oh, and BTW, these questions are REALLY asked of us very often!  Numbers 2, 6, and 11 usually occur in sequence.  And for those who say they don't think they could homeschool, let me say that if you feel you're qualified enough to be a parent you're definately qualified to homeschool.  Teaching your kids starts at birth, not kindergarten.

(sing to the tune of “THE 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS”)

“On the first day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “Can you homeschool legally?”


On the second day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “Are they socialized, can you homeschool legally?”


On the third day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “Do you give them tests, are they socialized, can you homeschool legally?”


On the fourth day of home school my neighbor said to me, “What about P.E., do you give them tests, are they socialized, can you homeschool legally?”


On the fifth day of home school my neighbor said to me, “YOU ARE SO STRANGE! What about P.E., do you give them tests, are they socialized, can you homeschool legally?”

On the Sixth day of home school my neighbor said to me, “How long will you homeschool, YOU ‘RE SO STRANGE, what about P.E., do you give them tests, are they socialized, can you homeschool legally?”

On the seventh day of home school my neighbor said to me, “Look at what they’re missing, how long will you homeschool, YOU ARE SO STRANGE!, what about P.E., do you give them tests, are they socialized, do you homeschool legally?”


On the eighth day of home school my neighbor said to me, “Why do you do this, look at what they’re missing, how long will you home school, YOU ARE SO STRANGE, hat about P.E. do you give them tests, are they socialized, do you homeschool legally?


On the ninth day of home school my neighbor said to me, “They’ll miss the prom, why do you do this, look at what they’re missing, how long will you home school, YOU ‘RE SO STRANGE!, what about P.E., do you give them tests, are they socialized, do you homeschool legally?”

On the tenth day of home school my neighbor said to me, “What about graduation, they’ll miss the prom, why do you do this, look at what they’re missing, how long will you home school, YOU ARE SO STRANGE!, what about P.E., do you give them tests, are they socialized, can you homeschool legally?”


On the eleventh day of home school my neighbor said to me, “I could never do that, what about graduation, they’ll miss the prom, why do you do this, look at what they’re missing, how long will you homeschool, YOU ARE SO STRANGE, what about P.E. do you give them tests, are they socialized, can you homeschool legally?”

On the twelfth day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “Can they go to college, I could never do that, what about graduation, they’ll miss the prom, why do you do this, look at what they’re missing, how long will you homeschool, YOU ARE SO STRANGE, What about P.E., do you give them tests, are they socialized, can you homeschool legally?”

On the thirteenth day of homeschool I thoughtfully replied: “They can go to college, yes you can do this, and they can graduate, we don’t need the prom, we do it cuz we like it, they aren’t missing anything, we’ll homeschool forever, WE’RE NOT STRANGE!, We give them P.E., life it self’s a test, they are socialized, AND WE HOMESCHOOL LEGALLY!

On the fourteenth day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “How can I get started, why didn’t you tell me, where do I buy curriculum, when is the next conference, WILL PEOPLE THINK WE’RE STRANGE? I think we can do this, if you will help us, can we join P.E. and we’ll homeschool legally.
