One problem homeschooling parents sometimes have is a lack of comparison material. I know that it doesn't matter how well my son writes at age 10 compared with a typical public school 10 year old. But still, I occasionally wonder how he measures up. If your kids go to public school you might well find me trying to surreptitiously examine their textbooks out of the corner of my eye, or letting my glance linger a bit overlong on the homework they've left out on the table. I'm curious, and I have to grab my comparison data whenever it presents itself.
But now, thanks to Christie's, I have the ultimate writing benchmark. Now, every time I worry about my middle schooler's writing, I'll know where to turn.
Frankly, I'm not certain which is scarier - the writing, or the remarkable restraint on the part of her teacher.
Update: M-MV has more on celebrities writing badly. But ... they're celebrities. Don't we think they can do anything? Look how much Britney Spears and Lindsey Lohan are worth, and all my kids can do is write in complete sentences.

Wow.
I think maybe this child was very distracted during her copying of the paper. That's amazing.

Britney and Lindsay can't even put on complete outfits, let alone construct complete sentences.
I also doubt your kids will be baring their cleavage while lip-syncing. :)

Er, I don't know, Mark. My kids might. I don't think the demand will be quite as high, though.

To be fair, Lindsey Lohan is hot.
