Those who read the “You Might Be A Home Schooler If...” column in the last issue will remember that I asked readers to write their own and send them. Well, I got it! Hardly a day has gone by that I haven’t received letters with “You Might...” jokes. Once again home schoolers all across this nation have taken up their pens and No. 2 soft-lead pencils to prove that they are among the most creative and weird people on the face of the earth.

So without further ado, here is YOUR list of reasons why You Might Be A Home Schooler. Drum roll please...

...if the only bell that rings at your school is the telephone.

...if you think an "Anglo Saxon" is a math text book.

...if your school planner has a column entitled "chores."

...if your teacher has ever attended school in her pajamas.

...if your kitchen table serves as a lab, supply center, work area, and, occasionally, a place to eat.

...if when you check out at the library, your stack of books is taller than the librarian.

...if you have to stop and think when asked, "What grade are you in?"

...if you shop for back-to-school clothes in your older sibling's hand-me-down pile.

...if your class roster sounds like a Biblical genealogy.

Thanks for all your help! Josh H. tells me that last issue’s column passed Trevor Massely to claim the most requested reprint article title. Now that’s popular!
