RE: French President changes mandatory school age from 6 to 3 leaving my family with some difficult decisions
ughh ... how unfortunte for this to happen just after you move to France.
I would suggest finding and talking to other French homeschoolers, and hopefully unschoolers, to see just how strict the rules are.
Where I live for example, for some reason most people don't even know about the most freeing way to homeschool. Here we have the right to choose between being "enrolled" for homeschooling, where you have to report to a teacher and receive some government funds to pay for supplies and activities. OR you can choose "registered" which means don't get government money but also don't have to report to a teacher or meet PLO's (provincial learning outcomes.)
For some reason most homeschoolers want the government money and some of them don't even want the rest of us to let people know that they can ditch the government almost completely.
I tried being "enrolled" and yes, my teacher was really good and flexible, but it still puts your children in a bit of a box and the money was simply not worth it to me at all!
So I have no idea if something like that might exist in France, but talking to other unschoolers should uncover your real options.
Thank you Linda. A great idea to connect with other homeschooling families and get the low down.
We have found a doctor now who we trust and I feel sure she can help us connect with the right people. She is one of the few doctors here brave enough to speak out against vaccines and now has to operate from her home as a consequence.
Interesting to hear the options available over there and hope very much the same thing exists here. No thanks to the money and no thanks to the government interference. We got this one covered!
It is such a privilege and a pleasure to be able to take this role in the development of the lives of my children and I wouldn't give it up for the world :)
You’re the best @canadian-coconut ! 🙏❤️
You're not wrong there brother. Steemit would be a very different place for so many people without @canadian-coconut 💗
