Those Germans

I know that I should simply be happy that I live in a country that allows people to homeschool freely, but this article has really made me quite upset. This is an article that has been circulated through other news sources as well. Basically, it is illegal to homeschool in Germany. For this reason, a family has been broken up just because they have chosen to homeschool their daughter who was having problems. Well, all of the children have scored quite well and have what can be seen clearly as a good education. Nevertheless, 2 parents are left fighting to get their children back so that they can deal with the damage that the state has done to their children. How infuriating! It really is too bad that there is nothing we can do. I really hope that the Germans are as infuriated by this as I am and that they are trying to make some changes. In the meantime, I think we should all pray for or send good vibes to this family.

It is so sad what is being done to that poor family.

I totally agree with you and really wish that we could do something for their cause.
