One of the homeschool support groups we belong to put together their own prom.

NYS L.E.A.H. also has a graduation for homeschoolers every year at their annual convention.

I didn’t “miss” the prom, I never wanted to go. I didn’t have a boyfriend until I was 22; and we were long distance, so we decided to just get married. Nine months so far and we’re scarily happy.

I suppose some folks say that I’m under-developed socially because I didn’t date a lot of guys but since I had really stringent criteria that only my husband meets, out of all the men I’ve ever met, I didn’t see it that way at all.

I just get totally miffed about the “prom” being such a big issue. Why is that? Why is the prom issue always one of the first things people bring up about what a homeschooled kid will miss.

There are plenty of PS kids who don’t even go.

I just don’t get what the fuss about the prom is all about.

My wife, Jen, and I actually MET right here on FR on a thread about a state homeschool prom (in AZ I think). We were joking about ‘lack of socialization’ because that is the one the ignorant always talk about. Her sense of humor attracted me to her right from the start.
