RE: The Government Want's our Child, Which is Why We Are Going On The Run.

Hi @markwhittam, great post , you are not alone, and i think many people share your thoughts, but few dare to be different ! Congratulations !
I was born in France and emigrated to Thailand, in France home education is allowed ONLY if you leave too far from a school (on a boat for ex.) or if you have a valid reason ( sporty kid), but it requires government approval....
I had the opportunity to home educate my now 16 years old son in Thailand alternating with thai local school and french international school for him to have to chance to meet with other kids. Therefore i had access to all the education programs, and i confirm what you said ""to be programmed, to have their individuality wiped clean away, their self-esteem knocked out of them and their dreams crushed by the government's agenda to make all kids competitive, anxious, consumer sheep.""...it seems to be everywhere the same strategy.....
Thank you for sharing your story, i decided already last year to take out my son from the education system as he complete the minimum years according the law, and to discover with him what he wish to do in his life. I just have a little daughter of 10 months now, she is Eurasian thai-french and it's allowed to home educate your kids in Thailand, so i will do so !
Following and resteemed !
