"Some days, we watch with envy as that yellow school bus drives by."In this interesting and humorous article, a witty and well-balanced homeschool mom talks about the most common misconceptions about parents who choose the homeschooling route. I'll pass along below the 10 errors she corrects -- but you'll have to go read the piece (featured at Weird, Unsocialized Homeschoolers.com) to find the whole treasure. And, by the way, thanks go to Melissa Hindman (a witty and well-balanced homeschool mom herself!) for the heads up on this piece.
