RE: WHAT!?!?! You Want to Educate YOUR OWN CHILD!?!?!? *GASP*! (Navigating Unschooling in Japan)
Unfortunately I can't watch all of the video as it keeps lagging (not dtube's fault, but bad and slow connection in Ireland...). But I do understand the frustration. I've been harassed by CPS here in Ireland for some time now, all because they don't want to understand how unschooling works and because I don't jump through the hoops they put in front of me. They are even trying to get me to send my youngest to pre-school...because 'he needs friends his own age' while he's only 3.5 years old and there is no where a law in the Irish law book that says we have to send them anywhere before they're 6 years old! I'm getting sick of it.... so sick that I'm looking for other options (countries where homeschooling is not seen as a thorn in the side of politicians...)
God, I’m so sorry to hear that. That must be extremely stressful for you.
This is exactly the kind of madness I’m talking about.
The US might be more hospitable in regard to not being harassed, but then again, in a way it might be worse as those that are harassed are often harassed mercilessly. I don’t know how it is in Ireland.
Is there a way to pacify the bastards? What business is it of theirs anyway what your 3 year old is doing?
Three-year-olds don't need friends the same age. They need to learn to interact with all ages, not in a class full of three-year-old kids all in various stages of development.
