/Been practicing The Spanish Lady on my tin whistle today. I could actually recognize it just now! Not saying it was good, just recognizable./
Actual tweet from actual homeschooled 20-something. I kid you not, pippa.
Okay. Did I not mention an uncomfy link between some home schoolers and certain whistle-y instruments here?
I don’t want to get in trouble again. Just sayin’ is all.

That Tweet, dear Trace, encapsulates the definitive difference between a homeschooler and one who is homeschooled.

Oh, dear. I smell a Ren Faire in this Unfortunate Creature’s future.

Hey, well… at least the stereotype doesn’t include gang-banging and drugs. Did you ask her which curriculum she used? Because you wanted to know that stuff in your earlier post…

I definitely want to be homeschooled with the Gang-Banging and Drugs Curriculum.

Drugs and tin whistles probably don’t mix well.

In the SYC, they would.

Mrs C. — Hahahahaha! They got the penny whistle curriculum! I KNEW there was one.
sheila — /In the SYC, they would./
Hahahahahahha. Yes, we’d definitely have tin whistle night at the SYC which could only be made better with drugs and alcohol, right? In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida anyone?
Okay. Who will learn that on the penny whistle to amuse us?

Kate, the tin whistle might make a good pipe.

Hahahaha! I am going to have to beg that the tin whistle yurt not be stationed next to the library yurt.

Kate - yeah, really. I’ll be trying to read Anne of Green Gables as a bunch of drunken yahoos play Ta-Ra-Ra-Boom-De-Ay on the tin whistle outside. “Guys … could you keep it down, please?”

cindy — Hahahaha. That’s okay. You’re totally invited.

As much as I would love to join your tin whistle jamboree, I imagine I would have to work my public school job during said trip. (At a school district which, by the way, has been commended for outstanding test scores AND musical achievement, among other awards.)
