I just wonder what mandatory visits from the “authorities” teaches the children about family, parental respect, and the system we live in.

It turned out to be a very nice thing. There was no malice on the part of the "Home School Assistance Program". The teacher who visited took our kids out for pizza and offered all kinds of helpful advice to my wife. She became very close with us and our 8 kids and it was pretty neat having the same teaching assistant for some 15 years.

Whether you are monitored by the government with candy or a stick, you are still monitored and give up freedom.

She was a nice government guard. How lucky for you.
