He needs to move to a country which will allow him the freedom to educate his child. Spare me any diatribes about dropouts who pretend to be home schoolers. Most home schoolers work hard. If I saw the same lust for enlightenment in non home schoolers, public schools would not be such a bad joke.

To: after dark
Whilst I agree with what you are saying the only small worry I have in home schooling is interaction with other children and even adults

In an environment where their is an extended family with lots of sibling and or in a church going family then I cannot see this as a problem as there would be many opportunities to mix with other children at various social functions.

I can however see an only child not acquiring the necessary social skills required later in life.

I speak from semi experience here whilst I attended school it was 10 miles from where I lived and therefore had no friends near me after school or at the weekend though did have a few church friends but there was only one near my age. Consequently I do not have any friends from way back I had to start a afresh later in life which was quite difficult and I can see home schooling being similar but even worse as you do not have much opportunity to practice friendships.

Won't work after dark. Consider this foreshadowing.

Ever since we signed the EU/WTO agreement, we are bound to come to the same food trade agreements.

I know, 'What on earth does that have to do with school????'

It was snuck in under the Food Safety initiative of Healthy People 2010.

Since the kids' food programs fall under USDA grants, we have to abide by the conditions of these grants to bring up all the trade rules by 2010.

EU/WTO Trade agreements are posted here:
