This is a 12-page document published in 2003 by T. Spiegler in the publication "EVALUATION AND RESEARCH IN EDUCATION Vol. 17, No. 2&3, 2003"

It gives an excellent background to the status quo at present:

Sad that the old divide between Christian and secular HE "sides" rears it's ugly head again. Our local support group decided to focus on our common areas, and accept our differences. I would have thought that in this situation it is particularly important to promote unity.

As a Christian who (along with my wife) chose to home educate his children, I often associated more with secular families - especially once we committed to unschooling. We haven't always fitted comfortably into either "side" - but have met some wonderful and amazing people from both sides.

Unity among oppressed minorities is essential if you are to survive the divide and conquer strategy.

I agree, there is strength in numbers. Lots of 1's may make 10, or 100 or 1000.

The Status Quo

For those new to the situation in Germany: home educating is (perceived as) illegal.

The common citation for school attendance is to protect against a pluralist society. I'd like to explore the various arguments for (and against) legalising home education in Germany.

It is my sincere hope that this information may help people internationally to lobby for change on behalf of those who want to or are trying to exercise their human right to raise their children the way they choose to.

Please join me in gathering facts, studies and quotes and add them to this blog.
