So our 9 yr. old nephew comes to visit us while we have some downtime in the States and like every time he interrogates our kids as to their age and grade. Well as a homeschooler/ worldschoolers we don’t really make a big deal about grade. So Malaki answers,
“Well I am in 6th grade math, 8th-12th grade electives, 7th grade English. But I think, as a 10 year old, I would be going into 5th grade.”
My nephew turns to me,
“I just wish your kids were in real school.”
I laugh,
“Well our school is real enough. Why is it important that they go to public school?”
He answers,
“Because that’s not fair that I get to go to real school and they are just doing fake school!”
I feel like that he is not far off from the logic that many adults think of worldschooling… it looks fun but it is not fair or practical…
“Naah… I think we are ok with our fake school. 😅”
Then he says,
“so y’all are homeless?”
My daughter Jeadon chimes in
“no, not the kind of homeless you’re thinking where you’re begging for alms”
