I'm curious as to who asks these questions. Is it friends and family? I hardly ever encountered them, but having immigrated to Australia, we didn't have a lot of close friends and family around us. When I did get asked them it seemed to be in genuine curiosity.
Let's see, another answer to question five could be, when they want to go to school. You could say mine are back in school now; one is getting her highschool certificate via an online college and the other is in university.
I Think my answer to question 4 was something along the lines of "they are always learning."
3 was an easy answer. No! 🤣 Then I'd say homeschool groups and extra curricular activities. That usually gave them an aha moment, because even they're own kids did extra curricular activities and quite Ogden it was at those that we got that question.
I've never encountered question 2, although with my kids starting out in school I agree with your assessment of it and yes, I admit to being proud of my eldest being above average, although I'm not proud of that part now.
Are your kids dumb?
Seriously! What kind of person asks that!?
I have had my mother-in-law testing them when I first started homeschooling, though. She soon stopped and never really questioned our choice again.
Don't worry, that was all in good fun, nobody actually asked that. But you know, they sometime judge.
Reading your reply was fun and eye opening in some aspects. Thanks!
