Comedian Tackles Homeschooling Stereo-Types

August 26th, 2009 by dailynews

Today someone posted a link on the homeschooling boards that had me laughing. Comedian Tim Hawkins sings about the very funny stereo-types that plague homeschoolers. You can view the video here. While you’re over there, check out his other videos. They’re hilarious.

 

It turns out that Tim Hawkins is not only a comedian but a homeschooling dad. He resides in Missouri with his wife and 4 kids. He is a well-known for his brand of “clean” comedy.

 

He recently released new material, including a video poking fun at the government which can be seen by following the link above.

 

I’m grateful to whoever it was that posted the video on the boards today. This couldn’t have come at a better time. Sifting through pages of homeschooling legislation, reading discussion boards where anti-homeschoolers spew hatred, and dealing with the mind numbing stereo-types that refuse to die, can really take their toll.

 

It is a good feeling to sit back and laugh and not take it all so seriously.

 

If you have the opportunity, I encourage you to view his site. He has some great clips of his comedy, including a really great bit on aging rock stars.
