Genes play such a bigger part in that type of thing than homeschooling. We all know 'those homeschoolers' who's teenage boys walk around in plaid shirts and khaki peg leg pants that are too short. BUT the parents either don't care, or dress like that as well. I have seen public schoolers that my dh will IMMEDIETLY peg as 'those homeschoolers' and it always makes me laugh. 'Those' kids are everywhere, across all education types. My kids look homeschooled sometimes. When my son decides that he is going to grow his hair out and forgets the hat that I have made him wear for the 'growing out' phase, and my dd is wearing a tutu over her jeans and mismatched socks. Oh yes. We are homeschoolers. And whatever. We learn stuff. 'Demented' stuff... every day. ;)<BR/><BR/>Love ValVal in the Rose Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13891260349692305609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35349958.post-53775705351487043882008-11-25T19:05:00.000-06:002008-11-25T19:05:00.000-06:00Too funny.

I can vouch that "demented" is on both sides of the issue. :)mama khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05070909433011566246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35349958.post-60099198667816207802008-11-25T12:34:00.000-06:002008-11-25T12:34:00.000-06:00Oh yeah, my kids are weird too (homeschooled !) an...Oh yeah, my kids are weird too (homeschooled !) and I am demented for homeschooling them.

However, I have chosen to dementify (i am so demented I am inventing new words) my children by home-schooling. I guess that would make me demented. Maybe the world would be a lot better off with a lot more demented home-schooled adults running around starting democracies or such.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35349958.post-25075569361682342012008-11-24T10:55:00.000-06:002008-11-24T10:55:00.000-06:00I for one am thankful for "demented homeschoolers"...I for one am thankful for "demented homeschoolers".<BR/>I am blessed to live in a country founded my several of these demented people.
