I don't see why not as long as they pass the required exams for their state.
And I always thought Germany was a pretty swell place to live...guess not :shrug:
I know someone who lived there who says that the place is chalk full of nonsense restrictions such as this.
Ludricrious to think that the Germens are going to change their stance just because they lost one citizen.
Their loss is our gain??
I happen to think that the Germans are closer to being right than we are.
Generally home-schooling is NOT the best thing for the children. But it may be for the so-called adults who place their needs in front of their children.
Does this mean you support Sharia law? Obviously if you support these people taking control of their own education then you should have no problem with Muslims controlling their own marriages? No. I'd rather home schooling be made illegal. It is nothing more than double talk for being religiously backwards. This family is nothing new. Their fears of "persecution" is a smokescreen for wanting to teach their kids religious nonsense in the place of actual knowledge. If they want to do that in their churches that is fine but if they live in a secular society like ours their children should go to our schools.
Although I agree that a large percentage of home-schooling is done for religious reasons, this is NOT always the case. Some folks do it because they do not like the public education system, some do it because it's a way to have more control over what is taught and how. I'm not a fan, but it's not always about religious fundamentalism.

The fact that our government has allowed this nonsense is a serious problem.
Though I agree with you, I think in the overwhelming majority of cases - I would even venture to guess somewhere above 95% - it really is about religious fundamentalism.

Why is it that very few prominent liberals see merit in home schooling? Because it is simply a smokescreen for the true intentions of most of the people who support it. Our society has worked very hard to remove religious teaching from the collective education of its children and that is the way it should be. I have no problem with catholic schools and private religious schools. But that is only because they are put to the same standards of teaching as everyone else. I can say the same for home schoolers.

How does homeschooling have different standards than private/public schools? As long as the kids follow legal guidelines for schooling and pass the standardized tests, what difference does it make?
Why would it be wrong if a parent chose to home school their child for religious reasons?
I would like to see evidence of this. I have never heard of that assertion.
