The schooling is very "Prussian" here -- discipline oriented, sit-on-your-butt-and-listen. I totally get the argument for that -- developing some discipline is good, and some things actually do need to be learned that way. Still, I think ... Read More

Yeah, my wife and I have been over this a few times, trying to figure out what to do. This isn't one of those things where one approach is "better" than another. You just have to find the right tradeoffs for your family. The schooling ... Read More

Our kids are also bilingual and learned English by being dropped cold-turkey into an English-speaking school in a new country. And it was fine. Challenging at first, but not overly so, and they adapted quickly. I felt that they really developed from ... Read More

I did contact Rev. Imre Szőke from the Hungarian Home Schooling Association. He recommended that we emphasize that we're not Hungarian citizens, don't speak Hungarian, etc. He thinks that if we just fill out the normal form ... Read More

We plan to home school because our kids learn more at home. I work in software and have managed to teach them quite a bit, and they've also managed to teach themselves quite a bit from various online resources. We believe in active, hands-on ... Read More

My kids don't have any obvious physical illness or learning or behavioral disabilities and aren't elite sportsmen, at least not by normal definitions. I'm wondering if those exemptions can be used anyway since those things are arguably ... Read More
