Just this morning I received this email through one of our homeschooling e-loops, so after asking permission from Dr Frank Muller, here is a real funny for you to enjoy!
How many homeschoolers does it take to change a light bulb?
Before commencing, mom contacts the Pestalozzi Trust to see if it is legal to change a light bulb without registering with the provincial department of education.
She then contacts the Homeschooling Yahoo group to see if there is enough interest to have a field day to watch the changing of the light bulb.
The Forum then debates whether this is a homeschooling or an unschooling type of activity.
Then, mom checks three books on electricity out of the library, then the kids make models of light bulbs, read a
biography of Thomas Edison and do a skit based on his life.
Next, everyone studies the history of lighting methods, wrapping up with dipping their own candles.
Next, everyone takes a trip to the store where they compare types of light bulbs as well as prices and figure out how much change they´ll get if they buy two bulbs for R10.95 and pay with a R50 bill.
On the way home, a discussion develops over the history of money and also conservation, as there is a lion picture on the R50 bill.
Finally, after building a homemade ladder out of branches dragged from the woods, the light bulb is installed.
And there is light.
So the answer is: Not less than 5.
