Time For a Joke…

I’ve just subscribed to another homeschooling online group (that’s not the joke…), and I came across this while checking out the posts….

Q: How does a homeschooler change a light bulb?

A: First, mom checks out three books on electricity out of the library, then the kids make models of light bulbs, read a biography of Thomas Edison and do a skit based on his life.

Next, everyone studies the history of lighting methods, wrapping up with dipping their own candles.

Next, everyone takes a trip to the store where they compare types of bulbs as well as prices and figure out how much change they’ll get if they buy two bulbs for $1.99 and pay with a five dollar bill.

On the way home, a discussion develops over the history of money and also Abraham Lincoln, as his picture is on the five dollar bill.

Finally, after building a homemade ladder out of branches dragged from the woods, the light bulb is installed.

And there is light….

😀

I’m hoping this is a tad exaggerated…

It would be similar to the line we follow when a question comes up, although we would mostly discuss things; we’re a bit lax on the practicalities…..
