'Homeschooling is so important

[elleng]

to Uwe Romeike that the classically trained pianist sold his beloved grand pianos to pay for moving his wife and five children from Germany to the Smoky Mountain foothills of Tennessee.'

(Sorry if this is not what y'all have in mind generally, but I thought it was interesting.)

1. I've heard about this case - largely on the more rightwing websites, AND ...

I support a parent's right to homeschool their children. I veer towards the libertarian side of things with respect to this subject. I enjoy going through my daughter's charter school, because I worked with a credentialed teacher, and we make sure that she is progressing as best she can in accordance with state standards; she is thriving in this "independent study" (homeschooling) program.

Thanks for the post; I hope that they get their permanent residency permits.
