It certainly looks as if the German government has declared open season on Germany's tiny home-schooling community.

How pathetic. It's the law. Deal with it.

From the article...

""Germany does not want the kind of citizens that home schooling produces. They've seen how the home-schooling movement in the U.S. developed and they're very keen on that not happening here," said German academic Klaus Guenther, who is also an American citizen and was home schooled."

Homeschooling has produced US Presidents and Supreme Court Judges.

Homeschooling is not always consistent in the quality of education. Public/Private schools tend to be moreso, and help to teach social skills and develop friendships that the children wouldn't necassarily learn as well at home.

But it's a choice parents should have. With some of the poison being spoonfed to children in state schools the parents should be allowed the alternative. "It's the law" - oh, please. It's a bad law is the point. And missionaries should never be a part of that law either as they are not German citizens.

Some people are outgoing and some are reserved, and neither are learned social skills, but rather they are aspects of the individual person that can not be "educated" away. People have been developing friendships since the garden of eden, and a library, the courthouse, the mall, the parks, and thousands of other facilities provide just as much opportunity to develope social skills as a rushed, under the bell, locker centered, multiple teacher (with multiple attitudes) setting provides.

Homeschooling sets the heart of the family in the home, and that is a huge benefit, even if there are times the quality or consistancy are varied.

We (my wife and I) had 9 homeschooled children (two teens yet at home), and all of those that left the home nest are within 5 minutes drive away. We have 7 grandchildren that we can see every day if we so desire, and that benefit is a direct result of many years of quality time in the homeschooling setting, which allows love to be the motivator rather than discipline by an uncaring stranger (please, some teachers do care somewhat, but there are those that don't, and the potential harm to the student is very real).

While I disagree with the law, there are a few things about Germany that make it a little different situation

First of all, they have a State Church. It's the Lutheran Church. Lutheran priests are actually paid by taxes on German citizens. The Lutheran church can proclaim any other church a "sect" and until just last July, that church would have to prove that they were not a sect. As of July 2nd, the burden of proof will now be on the accuser.

The Lutheran church has no interest in people raising their children in any other religion or denomination which doesn't meet their criteria.

But secondly, if you allowed home schooling there would be a proliferation of teaching Nazis, Islam, Humanism, & Communism that would allow for children to grow up intolerant and dangerous. Kinda like America's public school system is doing :whistling:

This is probably a good thing for Germany that many good and decent people are just caught in the middle of...

Thanks for the internal perspective, Yod.

That makes a difference in understanding the situation.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
