Through science, humanity has learned the composition of water and its attributes.
Yet, one question remains.
Why is water wet?
 
Water is a polar solvent which exhibits both cohesive and adhesive behavior (canted towards cohesion compared to many other fluids). The interplay of cohesive and adhesive behavior causes it to yield to pressure, and then adhere to immersed surfaces in cohesive droplets or pools. This behavior also creates the sensations we associate with “wet.”

Yesterday. during our scheduled Furry Hour, my 7 year old refused to to be cooperative right from the start. Eventually he threw a tantrum, telling me "I don't want to learn about furries anymore. This is stupid. I wish I could go to regular school like all the other kids."

Needless to say, I was devastated. I tried to tell him that the reason I homeschool him is because the public school system does not respect our beliefs and practices. I reminded him of the time his first grade teacher called child services because I barked at her during our parent-teacher conference. He didn't want to hear any of it though, so I just left him alone to do a Math worksheet.

I haven't talked to him today yet, and I'm trying not to be upset at him, but it's so hard. Please, have of your children gone through this phase with homeschooling, and if so how did you handle it?
 
Because... it just is... OKAY?
