Unschoolers say the funniest things...
Corina Crane
Just thought I'd share my son's unschooling thoughts...
He's starting soccer today which is arranged by grade level. He's so excited about it that he's worked himself up to being quite nervous. For the last few days he keeps saying "I'm in grade 2" "grade 2, right?" He wants to make sure he knows when they ask at registration!

kids actually get a very befuddled look and turn to me for
help. "What grade am I in?"
I usually answer "IF you were in ps, you'd be in_____???" and then I
have to pause and really think about it because I don't know
anymore!!!!
Another answer they give (to the "what school do you go to?" thing)
is "we don't go to school".
Period.
No explanation needed.
I usually get a kick out of the look on people's faces when they say
that.

I agree they say the funniest things.
Last evening, my daughter, son, and I were playing Clue.
My son is three years old. It dawned on him at some point that the pieces in
the game were called by "real names" as opposed to just their color.
When he found out that the yellow token is "Colonel Mustard," he began
calling the red token "Miss Ketchup" instead of "Miss Scarlet."
