The Homeschoolers' Anthem?

This was sent to me by a homeschooling friend of mine

I couldn't resist posting it...

Just TRY to read it without singing along!

I Will Survive

(the first year homeschooling)

First I was afraid

I was petrified.

Kept thinking I could never teach

'Cause I'm not certified.

But we spent so many nights

Reteaching homework that was wrong.

I grew strong,

so now I teach my kids at home!

We study math-

and outer space.

I just kept on despite the fear

with a big smile across my face.

I bought a set of Base Ten blocks.

I bought books with answer keys.

My parents think we're nuts,

but they don't even bother me

Come on, let's go walk out the door.

We're on the road now,

'cause we're not home much anymore

My friends would laugh and say

we'd be unsocialized.

I heard one mumble

that I'd give up by July.

Oh no, not I!

I will survive!

As long as I know how to read

I know we'll be alright.

I've got all my life to learn.

I've got energy to burn.

and I'll survive.

I will survive.

It took all the strength I had

not to fall apart.

Decided to attend

a play date at the local park,

and I met oh so many moms

who offered eagerly to help.

They used to cry.

Now they hold their heads up high,

and so do we!

My kids are cool!

They're not those chained up little people

stuck inside at school.

So if you feel like dropping by

and just expect us to be free

you'd better call ahead first

'cause we're probably busy!

I Will Survive
