Chatterbox: Down to Earth
This is a...
This is a... (drumroll please) (drrrrrrrrrrrr...)
Chatterbox for the chatterbox!!! Well, more of a discussion really. We ask questions for the general chatterboxers, and talk about pretty much anything without going to different posts.
Example + first question!
Homeschool <-- Please put a headline so if there are multiple discussions, we know which you're talking about.
#1 Are you homeschooled? <-- Please list the numbers of the questions.
#2 If yes, how do you like it? <-- Then put the question.
#3 Would you want to switch over to school instead? <-- Ask as many questions as you like but don't make the question list too long.
#4 if you answered no to #1, would you want to switch over to homeschooling instead?
You could write your discussion from scratch using my example, OR you could fill out this form.
[insert subject here]
#1 [insert question]
#2 [insert question]
etc. ect. Add as many as you like!
Thanks, Violet (wishing myself across the world)

1. Yes, I am homeschooled. I went to public school in fourth grade, though.
2. Yes, I like it, but its harder than public schooling.
3. Not really, but the parental unit demands that I must be be public schooled in high school...
What I always say to people when they ask what being homeschooled is like: it's not like you live in a cave when you're homeschooled. You have just as many, if not more, opportunities to make friends, because your schedule is more flexible. I think I have more friends now, being homeschooled, than when I went to public school. Also, no, I don't get to wear pajamas to school. No, I don't know if anyone I do know gets to. It all depends on what kind of expectations your mother/teacher has. Not all homeschoolers are nerds/dorks. I know plenty of people who, unless they told you, you wouldn't know that they were homeschooled. I myself know through experience that I am one of those people. I'm not saying, though, that the cliche homeschooler does not exist. In fact, I have seen that person which could be put into that category. But I have only seen ONE of that sort of person, and have seen many, many, many of the wouldn't-suspect -a-thing-unless-they told-you-they-were-homeschooled- sort of person.
