homeschooling

This is a video about homeschooling. Read the lyrics. What do the kids learn? What do the neighbours think?




Some people say we’re goofy, mysterious and spooky. Our neighbors think we’re kooky, a home school family.
We drive a white conversion, we learn about the Persians, our six year old’s a surgeon, a home school family.
We learn about creation, and classic education, we’re sponsoring a Haitian , a home school family.
The parents are the tutors, we build our own computers, we never go to Hooters, a home school family.
There’s recess in the foyer, and than we read Tom Sawyer, our nine year old’s a lawyer, a home school family.
We never leave our dwelling, our children are excelling, they’re champions at spelling, a home school family!
Goofy: tontorrón
Spooky: espeluznante
Kooky: chiflado
Hooters: restaurant chain
Recess: descanso
Foyer: vestíbulo
Dwelling: morada, residencia
