Why Did We Choose to Homeschool as Expats? 🇳🇮

[@EdwardBernardson]

Great video. I appreciate your nuanced approach. Very interesting comments on lower and middle-class families having no choice due to work requirements.

I enjoyed your video. I also home school my children and it´s been the greatest experience as a family. I wished I had started home schooling my children earlier. The school system cannot continue teaching in this age and time as if it is the 20th century not to mention the gun violence and higher rates of sexual miconduct from educators.

I usually enjoy your videos. This one provides some interesting thoughts but is too one-sided (not the part describing your personal reasons but e.g. generalized negative statements about teachers). On the education side I really pitty the US and many other countries - in Bavaria we have a high level public school system differentiated from the age of 10 according to different learning types - one of the branches stimulating the intellectually more advanced kids (and allowing to transition between the branches)

But Bavarian education is a propaganda engine of a state supporting genocide. Germany's forced public "education" system is used as the example world wide of a terrifying situation that must be avoided at all costs. Not only are all children, including expat children, considered property of the government and forced into the education system, but that system is being used to promote terrible things, like it did nearly a hundred years ago. Indoctrination of the youth is very scary and Germany was the example of the horrors that could happen in the 1930s, and now, it's the example again. I'm sure Bavaria hates that it is trapped under the thumb of Berlin, but it remains the global example of how badly education can fail and what we must all protect our children against. German's horrific education system is the sole reason we and many others never considered even an extended stay in Germany. The fear in the US is that they will feel empowered to copy Germany. That is exactly what every parent must fight to protect their children from.

When we first investigated living abroad with our kids in 2011, Germany was near the top of our potential list. My work makes it an ideal place to be based, my eldest studies German, my entire family is German, and we love the culture, weather, some of the food, location, etc. But once we researched what it would mean to our children, it was the first country that we absolutely ruled out as something that, as parents with a responsibility to protect our children, we could never consider. Of course staying in America wasn't an option either. If our kids were grown, it woudl be different - prior to their support of the genocide. Now even visiting is off of the table. But a decade ago, we considered the possibility of German after our kids were adults and weren't under threat from the German state taking them for their political indoctrination. I truly thought that that is where we would end up and had planned on moving to Germany eventually even back in early high school. I know that there are subjects that Germany teaches well. But the things it does wrong are reprehensible and unthinkable.

Wow - where did you get this propanda from? I am living here, have been myself schooled in Bavaria and other countries and currently my children are in school here - what you write is absolutely not true..

[@buhltbuhlt]

Which genocide supported by the current Germany are you referring to? First I thought you mean Palestine (where I agree that Germany is too Israel-friendly [like the US..], but in school the current situation there is only taught briefly) but since you also say it's like in the 30s I am not sure what you mean. Maybe would be good you talk to people on the ground there outside your political bubble..

[@ScottAlanMillerVlog]

The laws that we had to look up before considering going. Are you telling me that homeschooling is legal in Germany? Can you choose not to have the state educate your children?
