Homeschooling... but as a drug commercial

- Ever wondered what homeschooling would look like in a medicine commercial format? Well, here is your chance to find out! Let me know which part offends you most as a homeschooler, and I'll tell you my answer.
The inability to tell which grade you are in! YES!! 😂
Then if you add dual credit 🤦🏻♀️ too much explanation
I know! “What grade I’m in?” “I’m in….. somewhere after 9th, but before college.”
@@playthrugames that grade is called “homeschooled” 😂
@@playthrugames How it plays out: my kid tries to explain that he is in saxon math 5/6, but wordlywise 7. Thoroughly confusing the person who asked, "What grade are you in?"😅
@@shr19964 I know! “Well, I’m in 3 different grades if you based it off of my textbooks. If you based it off of the grade I’m actually in? I don’t know. Maybe take the average of the textbooks grades?”
The "ability to eat vegetables" and lost of snow days is too real 😂
The truth is funny 🤷🏻♀️
Tbf, remote "learning" has killed the snow day for all kids.
Don’t forget chickens as the gateway drug to homesteading…. 🐓
There is a severe lack of chickens I have to say… maybe I’ll have to do a part 2 🤷🏻♀️
Fr i had 0 chickens when I started homeschooleing in 7th grade now it’s April and I just finished 9th grade with 55 hens and 6 roosters
@@sarahsandy7364 that’s crazy 😂 we had to get rid of ours recently since we moved.
Or ducklings!😄
Also being really good at a random instrument for no reason
That’s a good one!
My 18 year old plays a mean ocarina…
@@kirbyourenthusiasm I have three ocarina that I used to love playing. Oh, for the return of those idyllic days.
Ocarina homeschoolers represent!
I start to learn to play the pipe organ about 1.5 ago it’s so random but I can play it.
"Graduating early" and "working at Chick Fil A" lol
Yeees! Former homeschooler here: went out to chick fil a with a bunch of my college friends, a bunch of my friends’ younger siblings were working there so I kept saying hi to them and my friends were just like, “do you know everyone here??” and I had to explain the unofficial requirement that all homeschoolers must work at chick fil a or know someone who does
As a lifelong homeschooler, I can relate to the inability to tell which grade you’re in or “we don’t really do grades”.
I once mixed up my age at airport security🤣
Memorization of the entirety of VeggieTales it’s genuinely the truest fact in the world
Absolutely 😂
We actually own multiple copies of the veggies on vhs and quote them daily!
“Homeschooling is a program for both involved and aloof parents-you just make it up”💯😂
I mean that in the most respectful way 😂
@@thesilverarrowok then.
@@cherylcarlson3315 honestly! I was homeschooled and loved it!!
@@thesilverarrow,salty after fighting for my aspie son in public school then being crucified for being working, single unschooling mom. Shielded kid from as much as I could letting him tinker with computers,ham radio, karate, Mandarin lessons . Glad you had good experience,so did he... seriously was rough to provide though seeing what he got... priceless
@@cherylcarlson3315 that sounds really hard! That’s awesome that you did what was best for him, though! Homeschooling moms are the best!!
We now need a public school drug commercial 😂
As a 100% homeschooler myself, I’m not sure I could accurately do such a thing without being too offensive 😂 But please feel free to take the idea and run with it!
@@thesilverarrow Great answer. Very politic and without using curses!
@@goldengryphon That's your experience? My homeschooling friends (me included) never use swears! Meanwhile the public schoolers... lets just say their the reason why I'm allowed to watch the movies I watch!
@@TheMostBloatedOfBitterflies Public school kid, here. Yeah, I use a lot of swearing and curses when I talk about the state of public education in my lifetime.
I have heard homeschooled kids "swear" but they tend to be more creative about it. I knew one who used flavors of ice cream - "What the mint chocolate chip is going on?" and so forth.
So, while I enjoy hanging around the homeschooled kids in my family, now on the second generation of homeschooling, I find the humor in their creativity compared to the kids in public school and their use of more Saxon "sentence enhancers".
@@goldengryphon Thats about my experience :D Although by swears I meant more like curse words and foul language!
I feel seen. 😂
Fr me too
Yep
I have taken this drug my whole life, and *now* I'm just learning about the side effects? Why don't they label these things?!
Lack of socialization / Extreme socialization is so real. Also love how it's the first thing people ask about with homeschooling 🤣
Yeah, they just can’t comprehend that we can be actual people without public school 😂🤦🏻♀️
Marketing scam. I was homeschooled for 12 years and only have about half of those symptoms.
I gotta say, your track record is remarkable 😂
Okay, I gotta know - which ones? Sorry, symptoms or side effects, I mean
@@meganofsherwood3665Hmm *almost* 4.0 GPA, ability to communicate with all ages, love of learning, knowledge of practical skills, ability to eat vegetables, love of The Princess Bride, loss of snow days.
@@meganofsherwood3665 Sorry, I answered you but RUclips deleted my comment. 😑
@@meganofsherwood3665 Ahh RUclips keeps deleting my reply!!
This is just amazing!
“Intense love of the princess bride”
“Memorization of veggie tales”
This video literally summed up my childhood
That was the plan 😄
As a homeschooler....yes, I am experiencing the side effects greatly. I'm taking the Dual Enrollment drug for said side effects
Thankfully, homeschooling side effects are the best kind of side affects!
@@thesilverarrow it is an I can confirm I know every veggie tale song my memory
an intense love for the princess bride!!! yaas
or hatred b/c your dad quotes it "too much"
@@johnmadden9575I've spent the last few years building up an immunity to my dad 😅
I did not realize this was a requirement, but it explains so much of my old homeschool co-op! 😂
@@johnmadden9575 Inconceivable!
@@johnmadden9575 inconceivable!
On the other hand, here's public schooling for the last century or so.
"The evil is most serious with young children because of their youth. Many of them, while making good progress in the three R's, outgrow their tendency to ask questions and to raise objections, in other words lose their mental boldness or originality, by the time they have attended school four years. But all along, from the kindergarten to the college, there is almost a likelihood that the self will be undermined while acquiring knowledge, and that, in consequence, one will become permanently weakened while supposedly being educated. In this respect it is dangerous to attend a school of any grade."
--McMurry, Frank M. ( Morton). How to Study and Teaching How to Study (1909)
The key is to overcome the idea a child must be broken to the classroom and inculcated with "school helplessness"
"an inability to tell what grade you're in" made me snort SO LOUD, that's always what the dentists and librarians and family friends ask me and i'm like!! bestie your guess is as good as mine! i'm just out here livin life!! also the instrument thing, yeah, i was literally about to go practice harmonica when i clicked on this :P
That’s great 😂 and yes… no one understands that homeschoolers aren’t limited to one grade lol
Wow I don't recall giving my permission for you to make a video based on my life 😂😂
Well, I never expected such an unsocialized being to know how to work RUclips…
My mom quit teaching in the 90's to homeschool us. When my brother went to college one of his teachers said " I can tell you're homeschooled, because you can actually socialize with adults." 😆. My older sister only homeschooled a year, but she was determined to not put her kids through public school, they're all homeschooled. I tried putting my oldest in public school, it was a failure. We pulled him out a month or so into first grade. My brother and SIL just had their first and have already decided to homeschool all the way.
Okay, this is very true... We're smart. But not very good with our own age groups. Old people love us though!
f, so legit. i don't really have friends outside of my dad's rando female acquaintances who are all 50+
I love that they added both lack of socialization and extreme socialization since it really depends on the family and we always get those “unsocialized” comments from unknowledgeable people.
Also “extreme love of Princess Bride” is spot on 😂
So true! It depends on the family and if they’re in a homeschool group and how big it is and a ton of other factors!
And yes 😂 a very homeschooler movie haha
@@thesilverarrow I would say just depends on the activities you are in. We were part of a homeschool group before I was in HS but in HS we weren't (after moving) and we still had a ton of activities we participated in
@@ciannacoleman5125 for sure! That’s one of my favorite things about homeschooling, it’s all different and catered to what you need/are interested in!
Also the snow days one is so sad but sometimes I get lucky and the internet will go out during a snowstorm so I don’t need to do schoolwork
We had offline curriculum so we never had that. X'O
Every day was a snow day for my son. Slept in til was rested. No bus to catch.
Did school work in his pajamas. Well I guess they go to school in them now. But you know what I mean.
@@whereswaldo5740 that’s true 🤷🏻♀️ guess it depends on your perspective
I was homeschooled partially and went to school partially - I have to say, homeschooling created some very unique memories that I will NEVER forget and surely cherish long past my parents’ deaths
This might be the funniest thing I’ve watched in way too long, a very long list of adjectives cut short, it’s awesome!
Thanks so much!!
i would hire a homeschooler over all others
I liked this! I'm homeschooled now online on online courses and "the inability to tell what grade you're in" for me it's like I got put in 10th grade at this online school not for any good reason but I feel more like a 9th grader because I am supposed to be a 9th grader this year of school, like how I started out this year before homeschool! And I also wanted a job at Chic Fil A while I'm homeschooled, so one of those symptoms is like contagious..
They spread fast 😂
This is the most accurate thing I’ve ever seen after being homeschooled for 10+ yrs
Well, I had a whole homeschool education of experience 😂
I lost it at the Chick-fil-a part, my homeschooled sister literally works there 😂this is amazing
Yes, so many of my friends and siblings did as well 😂 I even dug up my old uniform to wear for this video!
I LOVE THIS! as a homeschool co-op kid, i think it’s hilarious seeing how others see us! though it is untrue in some cases (and true in many others 💀) it is so funny to me! keep up the great work!
Thanks!! I was actually homeschooled all my life (I’m out of college now), so I understand both the pain and the comedy in the way people think of homeschoolers 😅
Always a pleasure to meet fellow alumni!
@@meganofsherwood3665 same here!
As an unschooler, I’m so happy you mentioned it!😄
🫡
How did it take me this long to realize that "Intense love of the Princess Bride" absolutely is a homeschool thing?
😂
Yo! The job at Chick-fil-A! Today was my last day there… and I’m homeschooled 😮
Ah! It’s such a good job!!
Absolutely delightful!! Our children are now all adults. I miss homeschooling them. We had some good times together.
I genuinely love how home-schooling hasn't changed since year 2000.
Accurate 😂 but I am 26, so my homeschooling experience may have been more 90s kid compared to today’s homeschoolers.
i’m a homeschooled kid and the working at chick-fil-a is really funny to me cause i have friends who first worked at chick-fil-a 💀
when she came out in cfa clothes I
died
I used my actual uniform 😂
The love of the princess bride sounds perfect.
The veggie tales got me 😂
Please make more stuff because this was hysterical
With how well this was received I guess I have to 😂 I appreciate the encouragement!!
Love the “ability to socialize with any age”! It’s so true😂 and I have been pinpointed by strangers as a homeschooler for that exact symptom!🤪
That’s one of the perks for sure 😂
An intense love of Princess Bride. INCONCEIVABLE!
This is 100% accurate, I love it XD
"Princess Bride" sure is accurate!
"Side effects may include:...a job at chic-fil-a" 😂
This was beautiful!😭💀
You hit all the right spots!!
Thanks 😄
I have never known what grade I was in until this year... because it's the twelfth.
😂
What a great video!!! I can relate to it sooo much!!!🤣
Love the aversion to sunlight
Actually homeschool kids tend to be better socialized than public school kids as well as having better grades and better prospects for their future.
Agreed! This was just a way to compile stereotypes laugh at 😂
The homeschool i did for like half a year was literally just typing (Both my parents were teachers pets and liked typing class for some reason)
I was homeschooled for the last three years of my education. It was year around too. The only time I got out of school is when I passed out from a high fever. Thankfully I recovered quickly staying at home in bed.
Wow, that sounds crazy!
There IS a curriculum, and there are standardized tests to be sure your homeschool student is keeping up. You can find out more through your individual state's department of education website.
Agreed! I was just taking the stereotype and portraying it in a comedic way! I’m not saying these things are true.
Honestly, the idea that homeschooling is to *avoid* learning particular topics rather than to *encourage* additional learning is the worst part; I know lots of parents homeschool their kids to avoid having them learn stuff but it's honestly sad. And I would never work at the land of homophobic chicken; my two master's degrees since finishing my 12 years of homeschooling made sure of that. That being said, this is still quite accurate; I can quote The Princess Bride from start to finish!
From my experience as a homeschooler and working at numerous homeschool conferences, most parents who homeschool their children do it because they have their child’s best in mind. In addition, most states have certain requirements for homeschoolers, so you can’t just avoid Math, Science, English, or whatever else just because you want to 🤷🏻♀️
I just compiled the major homeschool stereotypes I know about for this video. I’m not saying they’re exactly true. Either way, they certainly aren’t meant to be blanket statements. There are many types of homeschoolers, and I’m not trying to make a judgment on any of them. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
Can confirm “love for Princess Bride” 😂😂😂
The teeny little sweeps at 0:30 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for noticing my precision 😂
Love this!! Funny and very creative!
Thanks so much!
*may result in your child listening to all 1000 episodes of a certain radio program
Adventures in Odyssey??
@@thesilverarrow yessir- uh, ma'am.
@@obsessedstar I’ll have to add that to the next one 😄
side effects may include:
a 4.0 grade average
ability to communicate with all ages
knowledge of baby care
lack of socialization
extreme socialization
love of learning
aversion to sunlight
knowledge of practical skills such as washing dishes, house cleaning and budgeting
the ability to eat vegetables
an intense love of The Princess Bride
loss of snow days
memorization of the entirety of veggie Tales
graduating early
a job at Chick-fil-A and
an inability to tell what grade you're in
If you experience any of these problems with your child, you're on your own because you're homeschooling now
try joining a Homeschool Group of side effects persist
This is hilarious😂😂😂😂😂 love it!
Thanks!!
Homeschooling and public school, private school too probably have pros and cons.
Great video
Agreed! And thanks 😄
@@thesilverarrow you’re welcome I love the video it gave me a chuckle, that super fast end but I bet it took a few tries :P
@@MisatoBestWoman well, don’t tell anyone, but I sped up the audio just a bit 😜
I love the princess bride so much XD this is so accurate
The Princess Bride is a great movie. Definitely one of my all time favorites.
I'm not sure if the 4.0 grade average applies to me 😭💀
wow who made this comment so funny, you should all give it a like 😏
wow nice reply.
When your sibling comments on your content ^^ 😂
The Veggietales and Princess Bride part couldn't be more accurate
I tell it like it is 😂
As someone who’s been homeschooled my whole life along with my siblings, this is way too accurate 😂
Thanks 😂
As someone who homeschools yeah k sometimes forget my grade even though it’s smack dab in the middle of my school books but that’s probably just because I’m always tired
As a homeschooled teenager this is wayyyyy to accurate
Thanks!
This is perfection
Thanks! 😄
Can confirm. My name is Kevin, and I was homeschooled.
What's wrong with having an intense love for the Princess Bride? I wasn't homeschooled, but I went to a small, rural private school from K-12.
Absolutely nothing 😂
100%! Well done Savannah!
Thanks!!
In Canada you have to use and follow a government approved cirriculum. Students must attain computer literacy. In many cases the student must travel to a government centre for proctered testing. and to drop of work.
That’s interesting. Lots of states in the US have similar requirements 🤷🏻♀️ I grew up in TN and we had to do testing in a public school several times.
I love this so much 😭❤️
Thanks!!
My life in a minute and 15 seconds
Ain’t gonna lie kinda same 😅
I can't be the only one who noticed her glasses didn't have lenses LOL
(and yes, when I was younger I had the entire dialogue to A Snoodle's Tale from Veggietales memorized. Don't ask 💀💀
Don’t tell all my secrets 😂
I forgot about that one!! That’s super fun!
as a homeschooler... this is very true. all of it.
i got so happy at the mention of unschooling and then went :O at it saying we do nothing. also while some things definitely dont fit for me a lot of thisis great and rings true lol.
I didn’t mean it to be an accurate representation 😅 it’s just the stereotypes that people think about homeschooling as cathartic comedy.
@@thesilverarrow oh yep, fair enough, its very entertaining lol
@@sushikat1896 thanks!!
"What grade _am_ I in?" 😂
You should make a similar video to highlight the stereotypes of institutionalized schooling.
Someone else said that 😂 but, since I was 100% homeschooled, I’m not sure I could do that without being on the edge of offense. I can joke about homeschoolers because I am one haha
@@thesilverarrow We were public schooled, so we could _endorse_ whatever you put together.
But we don't have your video production "touch", and it'd be awesome for any similar video to homogeneous with yours!
@@davidh4374 I mean, write me something, and I’ll definitely consider it!
I found a hack for how to tell what grade you’re in. First find a suitable schooled friend whose birthday is within a month of yours, second ask them what grade they are! And voila you’re done ✅
Sometimes, yeah! When I was in school, I was in several different grades depending on the subject so it was hard to explain 😅
I was homeschooled and I think this is hilarious xD
Thanks!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂 oh my gosh! I love this!!! ❤❤❤❤
Thanks 😂😂
For English Lit I would have my kid wright a report on some of the best classic movies. Watch once to enjoy, a second time to review, and a third time to study. Take this idea if you think it would work.
That’s awesome! I always appreciate a good classic!!
#Inconceivable !
Man this is hilarious! I personally found most of the side effects to be the opposite. However the inability to name my grade was spot on! (P.S. My curriculum is pretty much public schooling but at my own pace. I have to start school by 9:00 in the morning. I am normally done by 11-12 ish.)
Haha that’s the great thing about homeschooling! It’s all different 😄
@@thesilverarrow Agreed!
Ahhh yes, unschooling
Unschool grad turned waldorf/unschool mom here… you’re describing our life 😂 also regarding what grade you’re in - I don’t like the term ‘grade’ because it has to do with marks, and ‘class’ because we’re a class of one, sooo… we’ve decided to go for ‘years’ like in Harry Potter. Right now she is a first-year. 😊
I love the idea of just calling it years!!
Snow days aren't even a thing in public school anymore. Now they zoom instead of getting the day off, and teachers still have to go into school to do the zoom.
Longer days, more hours, less vacation time and more money is NOT going to make public school better.
Homeschooling is the way to go. Until people realize homeschoolers know more, are better focused, are extremely stable individuals, and more people homeschool so there's less money going towards public school, there won't be any changes to the public education system.
As a homeschool kid, The side effects were spot on.
Thanks!!
And the kids usually visit the library to run around wildly while their parents fill out forms to contest half the books for having questionable morals as content!
Sounds right 😂
I'm the mom/teacher and I hate it when people ask what grade he is in! 😂😂 Ansynchronous development is weird sometimes.
Yeah, no one understands that homeschoolers aren’t confined to a grade 😅
Everything at the end totally describes me😆😆
I remember visiting the US for the first time and staying at a friends house, I was shocked by how many drug ads were on the TV 😅 like, you’re just allowed to advertise prescription pharmaceuticals like that on public TV? It was a weird experience
That’s interesting! So it’s not normal in other countries? Where are you from?
I’m from the UK haha :))
@@Cherrycreamsoda1 Nice! I didn’t realize you guys don’t have medicine commercials 😂
i knew an 18 year old who spoke in a monotone like a robot...it was...eerie...
Were they homeschooled? 😂
@@thesilverarrow that was my point...
@@timmothy58 could be normal, or they could definitely be messing with you. Homeschoolers love to play on the fact that they’re homeschooled haha
I knew a couple of homeschooled kids. They were really social. I think they had to be if they wanted to have any friends.
From being an extroverted homeschooler, I was always active socially! I have a lot more time to hang out with friends and do extra curricular things, so it worked well. Though, there are “homeschool groups” and “co-ops” so you don’t have to necessarily go outside of homeschooling to have friends.
I feel offended as a mute kid 😂
Over which part? 😂
I was kinda? In year 11/12. I was very sick and I would keep getting lost on the way home. Not advisable. Best to avoid because now your parents have free rein to be extremely controlling. Nobody likes it. Both me and my parents were stressed. We have compulsory 10 years of school attendance required in my neighbourhood. It’s for a good reason.
I loved being homeschooled 🤷🏻♀️ my parents are awesome and let me explore the things I wanted to learn about in addition to what I was required to learn. I guess it’s not for everyone though.
Word!
No, but it's hardly a stereotype. All of these things are true
You forgot the side effect of actually learning something instead of just sitting around doing busy work.
Haha yeah, that was reflected in the “love of learning”, “4.0 grade average”, and similar side effects 😂
