RE: Homeschooling Is Our Choice - Reasons Why We Homeschool
Thanks for the comment! Yeah, I have some relatives who have also done some homeschooling and some who say they would never do it because of personality conflicts between parents and kids. I like that we can immediately work on any issues that arise instead of hearing about it from a teacher and dealing with it hours after it happens. Like attitude, kindness, sharing, and even biting! Nice that you were able to do so much with your kids growing up. My mom also stayed home and then my parents also taught our Sunday school so it was nice to have that as well. I'm glad we have the choice to get to homeschool. Panamanians can't, but we hear the law here is that you can do whatever is legal in your country. So for a German, they cannot homeschool either, but we can since it's legal in the US. It is illegal in Costa Rica as well, so there are no homeschool families that live there (that I know of at least).
Wow @apanamamama, that's terrible that it is against the law to homeschool in those countries! I never knew that.
Yes, during the Obama administration, there was a family seeking asylum in the US from Germany who homeschooled. They knew as soon as they returned home they would be arrested. Obama sent them home. :(
