Encourage every parent that you meet to try to find a way to homeschool. There are many examples of families ( even single parent families) who have found a way to homeschool successfully through seemingly impossible circumstances.
Did you read my post #49 and shvagesusie's post #41?
I realize that the idea that government schooling can not be religiously neutral is a novel idea for most. It is a fundamental concept, though, that will lead to a constitutional solution.
Our First Amendment upholds our God-given right to free assembly and exercise of religion. The very fact that parents are under police threat to send their children into the company of adults and children who **will** work to undermine their religious beliefs is an abomination.
Also...Government schooling is religiously a godless schooling. Godless schooling is no more religiously neutral in content or consequences than God-centered schooling. Both worldviews ( godless and God-centered) have non-neutral content and consequences.
The solution: Begin the process of privatizing all schooling. Work toward complete separation of school and state.
The school district will just rearrange the school hours so that these few kids are accommodated. That's my prediction.
I homeschooled four. I worked around their schooling and was a single parent for about 75% of the time they needed schooling.
I recommend that anyone who wants to homeschool find 5 like minded families and have each family take the kids one day a week. Agree on curriculum and teach each subject twice a week. this sort of informal schooling can be great as kids get together and learn together. We did this a few years starting by two to three hours of reading at home, then to the group for the rest of the day.
Don’t do it alone if you can help it.
See! There are many success stories like yours.
Congratulations!
Start with good material
I would not let a dog of mine go to the public schools. The homeschool kids I know are all adults and they stand head and shoulders above the other public school kids. The least successful of my children is the one who moved to her father’s and was publicly schooled for the last 4 years of school. Although the work ethic is good.
That was going to be my comment as well - they have allowed these students to leave school every friday without any consequence? And now they allow them 20 or 30 minutes to pray? Have they also provided a place to wash their feet like the U of Wisconsin?
