We homeschoolers are a friendly bunch, but every once in a while we get one more "What about socialization?" question or one more random stranger giving our kids multiplication problems to see if we're screwing them up, and we really need a good rant.
These blog posts have done just that, with hilarious results.
SWG: A homeschooling rant comes courtesy of MamaJulep at Rants From Mommyland. She rants about the intrusive questions she gets regarding her triplets along with ridiculously rude questions people ask about socialization, her qualifications to teach her children and her religion. She is also really, really funny (and more than a bit snarky).
10 Reasons I (Don't) Homeschool comes from 5 Kids and a Dog. Two of her reasons?
... I want my kids to watch TV all day
... I want to isolate my kids from "the real world"
Check out her list and then add yours to the comments!
The Bitter Homeschooler's Wish List is an oldie but goodie from Secular Homeschool Magazine, listing 25 wishes.
An example?
If my kid's only six and you ask me with a straight face how I can possibly teach him what he'd learn in school, please understand that you're calling me an idiot. Don't act shocked if I decide to respond in kind.
Finally, if you just like rants that just keep coming, check out Doc's Sunrise Rants. Be warned: This blog is not for the faint of heart. Doc uses foul language, has strong opinions and does not suffer fools, but that's part of the appeal for this liberal unschooler's followers.
