A few thoughts on homeschooling

I was commenting on Rachel Carrera’s blog, and we got to talking about homeschooling. (I also was talking about it with pinkdoughnuts15, too. HOMESCHOOLERS UNITE!!!) Anyway, I somehow (it happens, sometimes,) came out with this pithy piece of wisdom:

At public school, kids learn stuff. Homeschooling kids learn how to think.

I don’t know how I got to that conclusion, but that’s how I feel. At college last year, I met other students, and was in the top 10% of all my classes. About my lowest grade was a B+. People thought I was really smart, but I think it was partly because I had already covered a great deal of the material before, and partly because being homeschooled had taught me good thinking strategies.

Also, for some reason “homeschooling” is accepted as correct by this stupid word processing program, but not “homeschooled” or “homeschool.” What’s with that?

Hooray for homeschoolers! X-D

Clumsy Hacker (Me!)

Wow, 100 follows… 4,016 views… that’s doing pretty good, I think. Celebration time!

You know, when the webmaster looks at log-on stats, I think I’m probably most of them, if you know what I mean. Normally, I’m pretty good about remembering my passwords, but at times I mis-type with the best of them, and then the (much rarer) times when I can’t recall my password, and the worst days of all, when I can’t seem to even get my security question right! (Yeah. Severe.)

I guess that when the webmaster looks at the site stats, when I’ve had one of those horrible days, it looks like someone has been trying to hack that account.

A very clumsy hacker.

Which leads to the question, clumsy stupid hacker, or clumsy stupid normal citizen just trying to get back into their account, or clumsy above-average citizen having a very bad day?

Because bad days happen. (Yup, it all goes back to politics. ;-P )

And because even Charles Wallace gets migraines.
