Keep Cool
One thing that gets me really frustrated is that everyone thinks I don't do anything. For instance, sometimes I go to a friend's house, and he only wants to watch TV. When I ask him if we can do anything else, he says, "No. I am tired. I went to school all day." People say things like that as if I didn't go to school. In fact, I am in school right now. It is 4:52 and I am still doing work. Yesterday, I was in a lab at University of Rochester doing science experiments all day. I hope people will respect home-schoolers a little bit more. We are busting our butts, trying to do work, when other people just play during school. I just want to say, "Well, if you were in school, where was I?" This really upsets me, but it is best to keep cool because you represent all home-schoolers. People will judge home-schoolers by your actions.

I feel your pain Connor. I think homeschoolers get the same sort of disrespect as stay-at-home-mothers. If you ask me, homeschoolers and SAHM's tend to work harder than most, and there is absolutely no cutting corners! Keep up the good work!
