"It's great what you are doing with your kids, I guess you followed the rules."

I didn't follow anybody's 'rules' but my own. Mrs. O'Dell 'followed' the state rules (sent in an enrollment notification) and she got shafted. I don't 'enroll' with the state's home study program. Whatever happened to 'equal protection under the law'?

My children are succeeding because I told the local school and the VT DOE to take their rules and shove them. I told them I intend to exercise my constitutional right to home educate my children without their interference. They did sent truancy papers ONCE and I told them they could put them in that dark place with their other rules.

Mrs. O'Dell finally stood up and told the VT DOE she intended to exercise her constitutional rights as well. After years of taking their abuse and their neglecting the education of her children she had had enough. When she shut off the cash flow to the schools (over $20,000.00 budget & Medicaid funding) that is when they decided to make an example of her and moved in--no search warrant, no Miranda rights, no due process, no regard for the Vermont or U.S. Constitutions.

And that as they say, is that!

I salute you for your fortitude and strength in the raising/educating of your own children, and not relying on the state to do it for you.

I also commend your courage in confronting the education bureaucrats who would take away those rights if they thought you were easy prey.

You, the children you are raising, and the millions of others like you across this land, are the hope of this country 20-30 years down the road.

Thank you.

No your children are "suceeding" because you say they are. If your evaluation of their education is anything like your evaluation of Ms. Wade, it is suspect.

I will also mount a major campaign to get an investigation into why you are free to homeschool your children without enrolling them in the state's program ...

No, that's not me or Chancellor Palpatine or justshutupandtakeit. It's Cindy Wade!

Cindy Wade says the VT. homeschool laws are just fine.

You better start adhering to them if you live in that state. Ms. Wade is about to embark on a scorched earth campaign it seems. All homeschoolers who are not on the DOE radar now, soon will be. The lying wench is about to take everybody down with her and Ms. O'Dell.

Once she starts, all VT. homeschoolers will probably be be re-evaluated and interferred with. You be sure to send thanks to this selfish so-called advocate.
