Haven is playing soccer this season. On Saturday his coach asked him the name of his school (He never talks to “others” until he sees fit to do so). Haven’s response was heard clearly across the field by his very alert aka nosey sister Haley, “I’m homeschooled.”
Haley quickly announced it to us and everyone else in the stands and we sat very proud. This is the first time Haven has actually said he’s homeschooled (he’s 5 so technically this is the first opportunity).
Later we learned that the response by the coach was:
“Oh, so you are going to be really smart!”
So see, non-homeschooling parent DO get it. We homeschool for many reasons but the outcome is almost always the same- an intelligent, logical, well socialized young adult.
