A Happy Homeschooler

I spend a lot of time thinking about things. Halfway through last year, I started homeschooling. Going to school made me very unhappy. I felt sad, lonely and worried all the time and kids were mean to me. Yesterday morning I was thinking about what I liked and disliked about homeschooling, and I wanted to share my thoughts:

Good things about homeschooling:



  • I don't have to do schoolwork all day. I can get all my work finished then go out with my Mum to places like our favourite French cafe, and have an iced chocolate and macaroon. Yummy!
  • I get my own schoolroom. It has a globe, indoor plant, bin, a bed to have a rest on, timetable, notice board, white board, computer, art trolley, and best of all... affirmation cards.
  • I don't have to put up with other noisy kids. This is good because I can concentrate properly.
  • I don't miss my mummy like I used to when I went to school. We get to spend lots of time together now and she teaches me extra things like sewing.
  • I can wear anything I like every single day. I don't have to wear a uniform and shoes like I would if I went to school.
  • I don't get bullied or teased. There aren't any mean kids around.
  • I get to sleep in. I don't have to get up early and go to school.
There is only one thing I don't like about homeschooling. There is no-one to play with although there is a boy called Riley who lives on the street behind my house who likes to come over and ride on his scooter while I ride mine. Also, I'm hoping to meet up with some other homeschooling kids soon. 

So there are the good things and only one bad thing about homeschooling. I am a happy homeschooler.
