This is by no means unique, but I thought it would be fun.
1. Why are you homeschooling? How much does it have to do with an inability to get kids ready and off to school in the mornings?
2. How long do you plan to homeschool?
3. What about college? Are you worried they will have trouble getting in?
4. If your kids went to school at any point, is your relationship with them different now that you are homeschooling?
5. What would your ideal school look like, and would you send your kids if it existed?
6. What convinced you to homeschool (pushed you over the edge)?
7. How did you overcome your initial fears?
8. Do you tend to choose curricula with a particular worldview, or do you tend to use what seems to be the best curriculum and adapt any worldview issues?
9. Do you belong to a support group? How active are you in it?
10. Do you work better to a schedule, or do you let your days fall as they may? Or do you draw up a schedule for humor value?
11. Do you start school before 10 am?
12. Do you get out of bed before 10 am?
13. What time do your kids get dressed?
14. What is your favorite response to the line: "Oh, I could never homeschool my kids."
15. What's the response you actually use?
16. How many bookshelves are in your house?
17. How much coffee do you drink?
18. Share a moment with your kids that let you know you were undoubtedly doing the right thing by homeschooling.
3:13 a.m. I'll share my own answers sometime after the sun comes up. If you answer these on your blog, drop me a comment or email and let me know.

Posted by: Dy on August 19, 2003 04:23 AMI loved this poll. I found it at someone else's site and traced it back to your site. I posted it today at my blog if you are interested in keeping track of those who have answered. Your site is really fun. I also noticed that you check out the TEKS, too. LOL I used to teach in the public school in Texas and the educationalese, as you put it, is totally ridiculous! Thanks for sharing with the rest of us.
Blessings,
