This episode was very, very strange, but I
found it hilarious! I have been homeschooled K-12 and although there are
occasional days like that Robyn Jacobs experienced, I have to say that
that is nothing like a typical homeschool day. Furthermore, most
homeschoolers (at least that I've ever met) do have some idea of what it
is like in the public school setting even if they have never been to an
"actual school". Plus, homeschoolers often do a whole lot more than
public school kids (there are many exceptions, but this tends to be true
in general). But I still found this episode to be enjoyable and
interesting, to say the least.

I heard "You Go To School Where?" on the
official podcast. The whole introduction to the show was a constant
disowner, I-had-nothing-to-do-with-this, kind of introduction. Dave
Arnold promised that all the homeschoolers would be offended and would
probably never listen to the podcast again. So after all this, I
listened to it, expecting not to like it at all, but I did. It is a
little inaccurate but not to the point that I wouldn't enjoy the show. I
think the main message, being content where you are and the grass not
being greener on the other side, was still well portrayed. As a
homeschooler, and having been all my life, I wasn't offended, but rather
entertained, especially by the whole fire station and cat rescue scene.
Just for those of you who don't know, homeschoolers do have shorter days
than the average public or private schooler, but it really depends on
the parent for how much shorter it is and what work is done. And we do
have fun field trips like that, though I have never helped rescue a cat.
All in all, it was a good show.
