Feel free to take what you need from it, or dismiss it as the ramblings of an overworked unschooling mom. :o)jugglingpayneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10921293051956441475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111228953718918006.post-8524829543790337182012-05-03T09:12:32.748-04:002012-05-03T09:12:32.748-04:00Perhaps I missed something here.

I kept waiting for it and then the post ended with no main idea or conclusion. *confused*Jennnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111228953718918006.post-58117236103066024472012-05-01T19:46:38.044-04:002012-05-01T19:46:38.044-04:00Wonderful post!

It's a good example of how sound judgment trumps rules.Stephaniehttp://momto3feistykids.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111228953718918006.post-40608820039615265942012-04-29T11:17:18.512-04:002012-04-29T11:17:18.512-04:00This is a wonderful post for a meaty discussion. ...This is a wonderful post for a meaty discussion. You could do workshops very nicely, Tina. And it sure takes courage to break the rules, even the silly ones. What I abhor is Big Brother watching you - like the red light cameras. That does not bode well. Love, Mom PS Yes I just got a red light ticket!Inner Elderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13119918009359524807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111228953718918006.post-63082049903344686512012-04-26T20:53:51.154-04:002012-04-26T20:53:51.154-04:00Sheila: Wow!

Would I have the strength of conviction to do this even if I were breaking the law? Your story is inspiring. I'm happy you are homeschooling in spite of the obstacles you've faced. What an example for us softies who take our homeschool freedoms for granted!jugglingpayneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10921293051956441475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111228953718918006.post-17311150316803451592012-04-26T17:18:41.253-04:002012-04-26T17:18:41.253-04:00In response to the last question: yes.

We homeschooled for one year in Germany, fighting the authorities the whole time, then had the two oldest children in school for six months, left the country for six months, returned and didn't mention that we (or rather, that the children) had returned and homeschooled for another 16 months, left for another four months, returned for another eight months of illegal homeschooling, and finally left Germany permanently over three years ago. And now live in Cyprus, where the law says that homeschooling is legal, but despite one visit by the police and two by a social worker, we're mostly being ignored.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00622417957827047706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111228953718918006.post-77069336527521234412012-04-26T06:40:53.780-04:002012-04-26T06:40:53.780-04:00Lovely post!
