Howdy, I guess Va is one of the few states that allow homeschooling and accomodates those wishing to do so to make things as easy as possible. My daughter decided to homeschool our g-son when he was to enter the 1st grade - luckily the state doesn't get in the way of those wishing to home school and my daughter is fully qualified to teach him. He's 10 now and scores in the highest areas of the stesting standards - mid to upper 90's - as well as being very well rounded. He plays soccer, golf and baseball on every Saturday as well as taking a Drama class as well as a music class.
It is unconscionable that Germany would treat parents in such a manner. It seems as though the Nazi's are still in control. The article mentioned the "Nazi era" law mandating public schooling -- I would have thought all the nazi laws would have been rescinded following the defeat of those monsters. Evidently not. The logic of making everyone fit into the same mold escapes me. It's kind of surprising to see the UN standing on the proper side of this issue. It doesn't happen often - but the German Gov't needs to be brought into the 20th century -- then into the 21st Century once they acclimate to the 20th.
