Its so amazing what the teachers will say to parents let alone the children. I agree homeschooling should be legal EVERYWHERE. I homeschool both my children. Germany is the saddest one. They are keeping one of Hilter’s law and homeschool was against the law when he was president . People there need to realize he is gone for good and so should his laws.
I also get the question how long will you homeschool I tell them the whole 12 years or if the finish early it depends on my children levels. People dont realize that there are socialization in homeschool and the best one at that.

Yeah, I get that “how long” question a lot, too. I think there is something really sad about the hidden assumption that high school was all that and a bag of chips, so to speak.

That looks interesting, I’ve bookmarked it for possible future use when my kids get older.

Kathleen, thanks…yep, it should be legal everywhere, but instead more and more regulations get loaded on free individuals.

Sebastian, I’ve emailed A Present in France for US pricing and shipping costs…I hope it’s not too costly, and I’ll be trying to find some other US families to do a group shipment with me. If anyone’s interested, let me know!

This is really cool. I love the idea of their home business. I wish that something like this existed for German.

It’s good to hear that homeschooling is indeed legal in France, as it should be everywhere! Thanks for the information on the Hoffmeister’s business. What a neat idea!
