- Your kids won’t be ready for college, the real world, and adulthood.
- To homeschool your kids, you have to be Wonder Woman! Or, for you Christian over-achievers out there, the Proverbs 31 wife. You have to be able to teach calculus, bake bread from scratch, make a full-time income from your part-time entrepreneurial venture that is also a homeschool project for the kids, do Scripture memory, keep the house clean, and still make your husband feel like a man.
- Your kids are all 3 grades ahead.
- Your kids are all 3 grades behind.
- We who homeschool are judging those who don’t. (Confession: I’m actually guilty of doing this occasionally.)
- Homeschooling moms wear jean jumpers and make their own clothes.
- Homeschoolers do nothing all day!
- You have to be a qualified/certified teacher to teach your own children. This kind of goes along with the Wonder Woman myth. Basically, you have to be an expert in every subject in order to teach it. TRUTH – That’s why God created Teacher’s Manuals (and videos, other people, and the internet). The abundance of resources available today makes this one almost laughable.
- Homeschoolers raise chickens, goats, alpacas, etc.
- Unsocialized!
