This week I was asked by someone that I dearly love but don't get to see often why I talk about homeschooling so much. Well, Please, Consider the Following:
1: The title of this blog. It is House of Learning - where I blog about learning. Yes, this is primarily a homeschool blog.
2: We don't "DO" school. I can't only think about homeschooling between the hours of 8:00 - 3:30. We learn 24/7.
3: It's my blog and I'll say what I want to.
As far as general conversation goes, I don't talk about homeschooling much.
Here is a Nifty Experiment you can do at home, at church, at the store..... Pay attention to how often school comes up. Notice how many times conversation turns to preschool, school, teachers, school buses, schedules related to school or school breaks, problems related to school, homework, grades (both k-12 or A-F)... Notice how often your children are asked questions such as "What grade are you in?" Notice how many times you think of something school related yourself.
Judging from how many times school comes up, it must be considered polite conversation to talk about school.
Unless, of course, you don't do school.

I tagged your awesome self. Check it out on my blog and then you too can be part of the fun. You know, if you want to. ;)
p.s. I'm glad you write about homeschooling. The news talks about public school all the time.
p.s. good point on noticing school conversations. RJ's still years from preschool age and his grandpa still brings up school often!
I also enjoy reading about your adventures in homeschooling. It gives another perspective on education. You rock.
