I am glad to hear that it is still "legal" to homeschool in France, although their requirements are pretty daunting. I don't know that I'd be very good at teaching French language, literature or history! We are expats in Panama and their current thought is you can do what is legal in your home country, so we homeschool our kids. It is amazing with all the research out there saying that a later start to school is better, that the president would disregard that and say 3 is the best time to head off to school for most of the day. Yikes. It would be so sad to only have your kids at home for 3 years before they're into the system. Do they go to school still until 18? So 3-5 would be for required preschool? All day long or just half day? Thanks for putting this article out there.

Interesting to hear about the system in Panama. I actually don't know how many hours a day pre-school is in France? Without their vaccines they won't be permitted to mix with the other kids anyway, so it is not too important in our situation. As you say thank goodness it is still legal to homeschool!
Yes the compulsory schooling mixed with the vaccine rule do make it pretty interesting. Vaccines aren't really required unless you attend school...which you have to do by age 3. Ha. Crazytown.
