I can't take the credit

for having written this, but it did bring me a good chuckle today! Enjoy!

The Fourteen Days of Homeschooling
Compliments of Cecelia Harkins
Sung to the tune of "The Twelve Days of Christmas"

On the first day of homeschool
my neighbor said to me,
"Can you homeschool legally?"

On the second day of homeschool
my neighbor said to me,
"Are they socialized?
Can you homeschool legally?

On the third day of homeschool
my neighbor said to me,
"Do you give them tests?
Are they socialized?
Can you homeschool legally?"

On the fourth day of homeschool
my neighbor said to me,
"What about P.E.?
Do you give them tests?
Are they socialized?
Can you homeschool legally?"

On the fifth day of homeschool
my neighbor said to me,
"YOU ARE SO STRANGE!
What about P.E.?
Do you give them tests?
Are they socialized?
Can you homeschool legally?"

On the sixth day of homeschool
my neighbor said to me,
"How long will you homeschool?
YOU ARE SO STRANGE!
What about P.E.?
Do you give them tests?
Are they socialized?
Can you homeschool legally?"

On the seventh day of homeschool
my neighbor said to me,
"Look at what they're missing!
How long will you homeschool?
YOU ARE SO STRANGE!
What about P.E.,
Do you give them tests,
Are they socialized,
Do you homeschool legally?"

On the eighth day of homeschool
my neighbor said to me,
"Why do you do this?
Look at what they're missing!
How long will you homeschool?
YOU ARE SO STRANGE!
What about P.E.,
do you give them tests,
are they socialized,
do you homeschool legally?"

On the ninth day of homeschool
my neighbor said to me,
"They'll miss the prom...
Why do you do this?
Look at what they're missing!
How long will you homeschool?
YOU ARE SO STRANGE!
What about P.E.,
do you give them tests,
are they socialized,
do you homeschool legally?"

On the tenth day of homeschool
my neighbor said to me,
"What about graduation?
They'll miss the prom...
Why do you do this?
Look at what they're missing!
How long will you homeschool?
YOU ARE SO STRANGE!
What about P.E.?
Do you give them tests?
Are they socialized?
Do you homeschool legally?"

On the eleventh day of homeschool
my neighbor said to me,
"I could never do that.
What about graduation?
They'll miss the prom...
Why do you do this?
Look at what they're missing!
How long will you homeschool?
YOU ARE SO STRANGE!
What about P.E.?
Do you give them tests?
Are they socialized?
Do you homeschool legally?"

On the twelfth day of homeschool
my neighbor said to me,
"Can they go to college?
I could never do that.
What about graduation?
They'll miss the prom...
Why do you do this?
Look at what they're missing!
How long will you homeschool?
YOU ARE SO STRANGE!
What about P.E.?
Do you give them tests?
Are they socialized?
Do you homeschool legally?"

On the thirteenth day of homeschool
I thoughtfully replied:
"They can go to college,
yes, you can do this,
they can have graduation,
we don't like the prom,
we do it cuz we like it,
they are missing nothing,
we'll homeschool forever...
WE ARE NOT STRANGE!
We give them P.E.,
and we give them tests,
they are socialized,
AND WE HOMESCHOOL LEGALLY!

On the fourteenth day of homeschool
my neighbor said to me,
"How can I get started?
Why didn't you tell me?
Where do I buy curriculum?
When is the next conference?
WILL PEOPLE THINK WE'RE STRANGE?
I think we can do this,
if you'll help us,
we will join a sports team...
and we'll homeschool legally!"
