This past Christmas someone asked me, you know, one of those usual stupid questions everyone who does not homeschool asks, "How do you do Math?" "Oh, I could never do Math!" Or, "I don't know how you do it."
I used to say, "I am not starting with Algebra, I'm starting with Kindergarten and working my way up along with them, it's a gradual thing."
Now, I say:
"I have the answer book."
Watch people have their little "Aha" moment, it's pretty funny.
Hee, hee.

(And thanks for your "help" -- the problem has not been solved! Prayers appreciated.)
I am SO using this!!
ReplyDeleteThat's really funny! I usually end up saying, "Well, I use a great program and Math isn't my 'hard' subject. I like Math." However, your answer is better because it doesn't have to be easier cuz I like Math ... everyone who homeschools has access to the TM!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see a post from you Jamie and when I was in high school back in the mid 60's I bypassed algebra for regular math so I would definately have to have the answer book. Hope you and your lovely family have an awesome week.

I always say, "The best way to learn it is to teach it." I always get a very confused look.
ReplyDeleteThis....I like! What a wonderful way to respond!!
ReplyDeleteI hate math. BORING! If I homeschooled it would be art everyday ....all day long.
ReplyDeleteI AM thankful for the "math" minds out there and those who like it.
My mind just doesnt work that way. I like to be creative and expressive and messy.
happy adding!
