Need Clever answer for, "What grade are you in?"
luv2unskool
We're a year into unschooling and love it. My daughter is often
asked "what grade are you in?" by people when we're out and about.
I'm looking for a clever, (but nice) answer to give people, without
answering a specific grade. I'm trying to get away from those
schoolish things! I also don't want to get into a big discussion in
the grocery store, for instance, about unschooling.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I tell them my daughter is in 1-6th; which is *true* in so much as if she were tested in different areas she would be ranked 1-6th grade.
Another answer is:
We grade meat not people.

My son usually just says, "We don't do grades, we homeschool."
Works for us,

Nice answer: She's x years old, if she was in school she'd be in grade x.
not as nice: grades are for eggs and meat, not people.
My 7yods thought your grade equaled your age. (at a 5 he would tell people
he was in 5 grade)

My kids have said, variously:
"I'm not in a grade."
"I don't go to school."
"I'm homeschooled and we don't do grades."

so I don't go." Dad said some folks were astounded into silence, some simply
changed the subject. Some pressed further, and my dad, being the joker he
is, just carried the thread in that direction until the person got wise and
figured out the homeschooling angle or gave up. Only one person got it right
away.
I think my dad had a lot of fun with it!
*"Why aren't you in school?" or some variation.
