They obviously mailed this one in. Maybe there was a company wide picnic so they only worked half a day.

Wow, I didn’t really think how stereotypical our family is. But only five kids, mom got cancer and the chemo messed her up a little. So we topped out at five. But the van, the instruments and the hair, all spot on.

Wrong, no earplugs in our kids. No phones at the table either.

Haha, too funny (coming from a homeschool mom)

Love this spoof too (the comedian’s kids are/were homeschooled in real life)

Homeschoolers are vastly better at communication than other kids.
I always found them more advanced at nearly everything in my classes. (I used to teach CCD-scripture)

I will say that homeschooling parents need to warn their kids that not all adults can be trusted. Public school teachers in particular crap on them to their faces.

I guess the typical homeschooler has changed some since we did it, but some things are timeless about us.

I was going to post this to our family chat but my homeschools rocket scientist son (really, he’s a rocket scientist) beat me to it.

That’s one messed up kid. No socialization. Totally unable to process preferred gender pronouns. Will almost certainly be a right-wing, fanatical, MAGA voter.

pop quiz!

Was the 'feminist' below homeschooled or educated in the San Francisco public school system?

Excellent!

Sounds like my grands, who are currently on a field trip tp the West Coast, including a train trek from L.A. to Tacoma.

Adding a few more states, and all the important sights, to their count. It’s up to 27 now.

Definitely NO Disneyland!

I get that the Bee satirizes stereotypes but in my experience there are plenty of good Christian families with just 2-3 kids. Nowhere in the Bible does it say your salvation depends upon your fertility.

I’d add — has friends and plays with/invites over other kids in all different age groups, not just those in his assigned “class”.

(currently helping to home-school a 2nd generation)
