Yes, we homeschool.

No, we don't use a particular curriculum.

No, I didn't work as a teacher prior to having children.

No, the boys don't sit down at the table with textbooks at a certain time every day.

That's great that you know a big homeschooling family who gather around the kitchen table every day to do lessons together. How nice that you think it's such a lovely, heart-warming thing. Good for them. It's not what we do.

No, I don't appreciate the look on your face that seems to imply that I'm not educating my children properly. You know my kids, you've talked with them, played with them, watched them draw and write, listened to them read... I think it's rather obvious that they're not 'behind'.
