Oh, and out of 54 kids on the choir trip, I think we figured 10 of them were homeschooled. Homeschooling is very common here and so the fact that Matthew is homeschooled isn’t really an divisive issue. Some kids go to Broken Arrow public schools, some go to Bixby public schools, some are homeschooled, some go to Jenks public school...like that. Matthew just doesn’t go to their district. Heh!
It’s why I’m loathe to move from Oklahoma...
It’s a church choir?
HS’ing is still getting more common in churches. The PCA church we attend, I think a majority of families with kids under 10 homeschool.
Of course, at my office of fifty people, three homeschool and two of us are HS grads. So maybe it’s more of an area thing here too.
