Are you sure? Or just assuming? I don’t know either. But even if they do, how much do they cost? We homeschool. If we chose private school, I would have to go back to work full time just to pay the tuition. Now I can stay home and Raise My Child instead of spending 40+ hours away. Public, private, or homeschool. Every family should have the right to choose.

We’ve been home educating our children for over a decade. A salute to you and your family. Your children are blessed to have such committed parents.

“But it really is up to everyone to be sure we keep our right to do so. The NEA hates us.”

When a country has, as its citizens, generations of Communist indoctrinated indiviudals (by way of public edcuation), it becomes more challenging to “keep” checks and balances on par.

Thankfully there are a whole lot of Americans who love their country, and all that she represents in liberty and our Constitution.

Lord have mercy on us.

With electronics and robotics children's education will pass beyond the reach of the state and return to the home.

No doubt Germany will be the last country on Earth to accept modernity.

It can't happen fast enough. I'm tired of my taxes going to teachers unions...which then go to politicians working against my best interests. I resent funding my own suffering.

And that's not even getting into the indoctrination element...and the inefficiencies and incompetency.

I’m sure that there sre s wide vsriety of Christian schools in Germany — why didn’t they send the children to one of those?

In fact there is a wide variety of Christian schools in Germany, ranging from rather lax denominational state schools in Northrhine-Westfalia (yes, you read right: state schools, religious education is standard even in non-denominational, i.e. the vast majority, state schools) to small private schools run by tightly-knit religious communities themselves. The vast majority of Christian parents find schools - public or private - that fit. As a result, homeschooling is actually not much of an issue in Germany.

As far as I know, the Romeikes were intent on setting an example and were thusly supported by US homeschooling activists. They aren't exactly a typical example of Christian parents in Germany.
