Why I Like To Homeschool

I'm going to turn 9 years old tomorrow. I've been doing homeschool all my life. And it's really fun. My favorite subject is Science or Math. Or both, I don't know.

I like to homeschool because you can take breaks. You can't do that in regular school until recess. And plus I've heard stories of kids getting beaten up, so I wouldn't really like school if I was there.

But the thing I like most of all is that you can do it in your pajamas. You can't really do that in school. So, my favorite thing is that Mom goes easy on me and we don't use grades! I think I'm around a 3rd grade math level, but I read better than the girls who sometimes babysit me. And they're in High School. Mom has to get on to me because sometimes I stay up really really late reading. She has a hard time getting me to put my book down and go to sleep.

A lot of people say that I'm extremely smart because I'm homeschooled. Trust me, I've heard it like a trillion times. Mostly what I do is math. Mom gives me more math than anything else. And I like that. But sometimes I get bored of math. My favorite subject is math even still.

For fun I like to build with Legos, play my guitar, skateboard and play games with Mom. I can beat her at Checkers, Monopoly and Scrabble. I skunk her every time!

I really want to be a professional skateboarder when I grow up. Or an electrician.
