what a brilliant and sincere story!
IT HAS TOUCHED ME GREATLY!
I don't know you and your family, but I do respect you and your choice! There are so few free and brave people like you nowadays.
The most people live in cages of society and they consider it to be normal, they are just blind.
I am going to homeschool my child too, he is too small now, but I study all information about it and I prepare myself for this process (that's why I make so many posts about it-).
In Russia it is legal. It is called Family Education here: a kid can study at home and pass exams at any school he chooses (or through the web) to get the official document about getting the education. So he will receive the same Certificate after passing the exams, as other school kids even if he was homeschoolled all the time.
And the speed of education can be chosen by parents, so kids can finish it much faster than in ordinary schools (6-7 years insted of 11 for example).
Though it's not widely-spread yet, but the popularity is growing, and people-homeschoolers fight for their rights (the state even has to pay such parents money, as the law says, and in some regions it's really so already).
Another question is that such parents meet negative atittude from the society, because they dare to be different, the society doesn't like it and tries to prevent and creates difficulties! but such people are strong to overcome it and not to let the System break their kids...
I have found supporters of Homeschooling only in Steemit and in the web, in my city people even don't know what it is...-(
I am ready to face pressure with this question and find ways out of it, just like you do, because our choice must be free and independent!
I have faced this pressure in the question of vaccination already, and I know that homeschooling will be just one more reason for protecting of my family's rights, but it's worth it.
You're brave and strong, I do belive you will find the best place for you and your wonderful family!
Thank you for this comment!
I like reading about places like Russia from people who actually live there, all we get hear about Russia is from the news and we all know that is just propaganda.
I think in every country you have a pressure to fit in and when you try to be different it can cause a few raised eyebrows. we know that in Sweden, it's not normal to want to home-school because it's more important for people to fit in and be "normal" whatever that means!
Thanks for your feedback!
oh, yes, how right you are...
I don't watch TV at all, because it's just impossible to see all this stupid trash or just well-made propaganda and hidden agitation for something. It's just brainwashing, and I'm shocked that most people even don't realize it...
I know what attitude to Russia Europe and American mass-media try to create, and it's a great pity many people belive it and really change the attitude to Russian people, I'm glad you're not of them!
being "normal" and being "like all the rest" is the most important thing here as well.
I thought it's blame of USSR politics, at that times it was really shame to differ in anything, all people considered it to be their duty to be equal, and to be like all the rest.
I'm a bit surprised that this feature is common for Europe countries too, this "disease" is popular...
thank you for reply!
