Thinking of Homeschooling: The University of Mom

It’s time to start filling out college applications with the boy.

Or is it?

I don’t know. I’ve taught college classes before. I was in college not all that long ago. I think I could do it. I’m thinking of homeschooling the boy for college. Is that allowed?

Think of it; the cost savings alone make it worth it. We could even try to replicate the whole college experience (I think that’s important for kids). Kegger, anyone? Dinners could be cafeteria style and contain lots of carbs. I could make him walk with his backpack all over the neighborhood “campus” before attending class in our dining room. I could stock up on Blue Books and give him exams on my lunch hour. We could hang out on grounds at UVA so he has interaction with peers. It wouldn’t be so bad. Heck, we’ve still got our college textbooks so he could score a triple major in English, Math and Computer Science with what we’ve got on hand.

Maybe I’ll ask him to apply to Mom U., just for kicks. Who knows? It might be the ideal back up plan.

    On second thought, you couldn’t beat the meal plan, could you?

    Would you consider making Xbox an elective?

    What about the free laundry service? Now, that would rock. I think I’d offer minors in Xbox, Wii, PS, etc. Why not give him something he’ll be sure to get an A in?

    Yeah — just let me know how that goes the first time he wants to bring a girl “home”

    Oh, gah! Yet another aspect of college life I hadn’t considered. I don’t think the old tie-on-the-doorknob trick will be so welcome at Mom U.
