Myth Busting Homeschool Myths

Homeschool moms are just so patient. They are always happy. And everyone who homeschools lives on a homestead and plays in the dirt. Have you heard these homeschool myths?

For this momtrepreneur life coffee chat we are my busting some common homeschool myths. Grab your coffee and let's talk about a few homeschooling myths.

Persistent Homeschool Myths
There are more persistent myths than others. You know they ones that are urban legend now. That are continuously being repeated although they've been totally debunked….again and again and again.

1. Homeschool moms are extremely patient
No, we actually aren't. We just don't have the patience to carpool, and then do homework after they were already in school for 7 hours. It doesn't take7 hours to learn. Break down the time that is spent on everything else. They aren't learning for 7 hours.

2. We are always happy
This is hard, it isn't always easy. No, I am not always a happy mom, but there is more fulfillment in what I do as a mom and homeschool mom. This homeschool myth that we are always happy, or on the opposite end, that we are just trudging through the day is not true.

There is more fulfillment and joy in being with my kids and knowing my kids than in any job I've ever had or ever will have.

3. We all live on homesteads and play in the dirt
Yes, some do but not everyone. There thing about homeschool is we have a lot of freedom to choose the lifestyle we want for our family.

4. We all wear khakis and polos tucked in or dresses
This is a big no. There is a very small, tiny group that may fit this description. But this is not the majority of homeschoolers. The majority of homeschoolers actually wear our day pajamas. We have night pjs and day pjs.

5. You can't homeschool high school
This is a homeschool myth that needs busting. I am a homeschool high school graduate, and I am going to graduate my son this year. You can homeschool high school. You don't need an accredited school either. You homeschool high school student can do dual enrollment, and you can create his high school transcript.

There are few more myths, so listen or watch the coffee chat for the complete list. What myths do you often debunk?
