“This isn’t a case where the judge is playing god. This is a case where the judge was deciding a dispute between two divorced parents. It’s an unfortunate case, because there can be no compromise (mother wants to homeschool, nothing else; father wants public school, nothing else; there’s no middle ground), but it’s not a case of a judge overstepping her authority...”
The parents already were compromising before Judge Sadler made her decision. A quote from this article:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2327964/posts
“He[mother’s lawyer] contends that the mother enrolled Amanda in three public school courses and got her involved in extra-curricular activities such as gymnastics and softball in an effort to acknowledge the father’s concerns.”
So the girl is both homeschooled and in public school at the same time(in addition to extra-curricular activities). But the father wants it his way, no homeschooling at all, no compromise.
they picked the wrong state their motto changed to, "better to be red then dead."
