Actually, I was home schooled in the United States. Homeschooling is illegal here.

Does Germany not have freedom or something? Just wondering.

Germany is free, but most countries don't like the idea of renegade citizens brainwashing children.

Yeah, it's pretty much the same all across the EU. Of course, they actually get real education over here, so there's less of a need for it.

In a lot of ways, America is much more oppressive than Germany and the EU.

In my experience public schools brainwash far more children than a couple of renegades.

How can you have any experience if you have never been to public school?

People I've been around. On average publicschoolers are less open to questioning things they've been taught, carry on poor conversations, and are far less creative than homeschoolers. It may be different in other areas but this is my general observation. By the way not experiencing something doesn't mean you can't know what it's like. Just want to throw that one out there bro.

I like having been homeschooled and plan on homeschooling my own kids. Having said that, not everyone had a good homeschooling experience.

Homeschooling is as effective as the parents make it. I personally would not trust the general populace to homeschool, nor minority segments therein.

How fortunate then that the 'general populace' is far too intimidated to homeschool.   :P

My wife taught special ed for 8 years, then 3rd grade at a Christian school for 5 years.  When my son turned 6, we realized that he was moving much faster than the others in his grade, and we made the decision for her to homeschool him.  It is the best decision we could have made:

He is now doing 4th-5th grade work at age 8 and reads/comprehends at a middle school level.
He completes his daily work in 2-3 hours instead of 6-7, leaving time for playing with his niece and his friend, (whom my wife also schools) and for weekly piano lessons.
He is not being bullied.
He is not being exposed to the secular nonsense perpetrated by both students and teachers.
He is a very social, friendly, and compassionate child who understands the issues of "the world" but does not condemn others.
He is involved in basketball, baseball, soccer, cub scouts, and a homeschool group, so has plenty of social connections.

Now, if I can just find him some groups to play chess and Redemption with.... ;D
