Homeschooling Stereotypes...
Borrowed from another blog...
There's a bit of a long-standing stereotype that homeschool Moms :
drive mini-vans
Nope. Though I am considering an old Volvo. You know, a station wagon!
wear denim jumpers
I have not worn a denim jumper since maybe 3rd grade? Had a denim jumpsuit too (okay, it was the 70's!)
Turtlenecks
Occasionally, if it's really cold outside. But very rarely.
Sneakers
If you count Converse, which yes, are sneakers.
and have long hair
I did until I chopped it off.
often in braids or ponytails
When it was long, I almost always wore it in a ponytail. Now I only occasionally do.
I've also heard that we are all vegetarians
Off and on, yes.
strict fundamentalist Christians
Not so much.
Hippies
Guess so!
wear dresses to our ankles
I like dresses, but generally they are impractical for me.
never watch TV
Ummm.... yeah. As if. Yes, we watch TV!
don't allow our kids out of the house during school hours
Considering most of our outside activities are during "school hours", they're out a LOT!
keep our drapes closed during the day
No, because I like natural light!
