My Kids Is Home Schooled

My Kids Is Home Schooled By Elton Camp Them thar schools is evil as can be Hit ain’t no place fer my kin to see To git wicked ideas into thar head When them books they’s done read I can learn them all of what they need So thet from th’ devil’s world be freed I kin teach all thet English, science, math And keep my young uns on th’ right path Then hit should take only jest a little bit Some high-payin’ jobs fer them all to git On thar heads wear a fine new paper hat And say, “Would yew like fries wif that?” (Before the cries of outrage begin, let me say that home schooling can be a viable option that results in a quality education. It can also be otherwise.)

Chris, What you mentioned is exactly my concern. I know of people who are "home schooling" who didn't even finish high school. Elton

I worried for my friend, as while her children are being well educated, they lack social skills. Thank you for your unique poetry.
