The First 12 Days of Public School song
Nichole Fausey-Khosraviani
Someone sent a dopey song about homeschooling to my Plano Unschoolers list and it got forwarded to another list where one of the members came up with unschooling verses. I created a 13th day reply and the 14th day verse. I'm sure others could come up with some great 13th day replies. The cadence doesn't match for the last two days very closely, but it's funny.
Notice, it says the first day of PUBLIC school. Why would unschoolers say first day of home school? Besides, the questions usually start during back-to-school time for the ISD's.
Enjoy!
And uh one, and uh two...
On the first day of public school my neighbor said to me, "Don't your kids just watch TV all day?"
On the second day of public school my neighbor said to me, "Where's your curriculum? Don't your kids just watch TV all day?"
On the third day of public school my neighbor said to me, "What about the TAKS test? Where's your curriculum? Don't your kids just watch TV all day?"
On the fourth day of public school my neighbor said to me, "Don't you use workbooks? What about the TAKS test? Where's your curriculum? Don't your kids just watch TV all day?
On the fifth day of public school my neighbor said to me, "PLAY CAN'T BE "WORK"!! Don't you use workbooks? What about the TAKS test? Where's your curriculum? Don't your kids just watch TV all day?
On the Sixth day of public school my neighbor said to me, "Don't you set limits? PLAY CAN'T BE "WORK"!! Don't you use workbooks? What about the TAKS test? Where's your curriculum? Don't your kids just watch TV all day?
On the seventh day of public school my neighbor said to me, "Life isn't like that. Don't you set limits? PLAY CAN'T BE "WORK"!! Don't you use workbooks? What about the TAKS test? Where's your curriculum? Don't your kids just watch TV all day?
On the eighth day of public school my neighbor said to me, "John Holt was crazy! Life isn't like that. Don't you set limits? PLAY CAN'T BE "WORK"!! Don't you use workbooks? What about the TAKS test? Where's your curriculum? Don't your kids just watch TV all day?
On the Ninth day of public school my neighbor said to me, "You have no structure. John Holt was crazy! Life isn't like that. Don't you set limits? PLAY CAN'T BE "WORK"!! Don't you use workbooks? What about the TAKS test? Where's your curriculum? Don't your kids just watch TV all day?
On the tenth day of public school my neighbor said to me, "Kids need a schedule. You have no structure. John Holt was crazy! Life isn't like that. Don't you set limits? PLAY CAN'T BE "WORK"!! Don't you use workbooks? What about the TAKS test? Where's your curriculum? Don't your kids just watch TV all day?
On the eleventh day of public school my neighbor said to me, "I just don't get it Kids need a schedule. You have no structure. " John Holt was crazy! Life isn't like that. Don't you set limits? PLAY CAN'T BE "WORK"!! Don't you use workbooks? What about the TAKS test? Where's your curriculum? Don't your kids just watch TV all day?
On the twelfth day of public school my neighbor said to me, "Wow--you're so...different. " I just don't get it. Kids need a schedule. You have no structure. John Holt was crazy! Life isn't like that. Don't you set limits? PLAY CAN'T BE "WORK"!! Don't you use workbooks? What about the TAKS test? Where's your curriculum? Don't your kids just watch TV all day?
On the thirteenth day of public school I smilingly replied: "We like being different, go read these websites, kids don't need a schedule, we don't like structure, Holt was a genius, Life isn't like school, No, we don't set limits, LEARNING NEVER ENDS!! We use what the kids like, Tests don't accurately measure knowledge, Our curriculum is in a landfill ..and the purpose of unschooling is JOY!
On the fourteenth day of public school, my neighbor said to me... My kids really hate school, maybe I should withdraw them, I don't really know them as people, their friends are kind of nasty, the parents seem even worse, there's just so much stress, I hate the government raising my children, UNSCHOOLING SOUNDS SO COOL (but kind of scary at first), I would like to try it, I think my kids would like it, my spouse might need some work, but I know you'll help me out cause you're so awesome!
The Objective of Unschooling is JOY!
