I think it was because of my science fiction addiction. Now there's something I've had to defend to certain... fellow homeschoolers who are a little too fanatical!

I don't defend anything I do. I just generally either tell people outright (or find some other way to be discreet) to just go blow it out their shorts.

:-D

Spoken like a true almost-geezer!

Signed....Geezer

But you have to defend yourself when you're twelve years old and other people's mothers, at co-ops, frown as you sit at lunch reading books with spaceships on the cover... especially because I'm a girl. It's much worse for girls to read sci fi then boys, apparently.

Oh, I forgot to mention my four years of co-op classes, where I studied all sorts of stuff with other homeschoolers. I learned Shakespeare, science, and logic; got spurned by the popular girls' clique; made friends with guys and got mocked for it; fell for my best friend... all the things you're supposed to get in school, but without most of the negative things. I guess I don't really fit Hair's ideas. Oh well!
