Thank you for this lesson in the history of compulsory schooling. As someone who grew up in Sweden and went through 12 years of school there, I can from experience say that what this article describes is absolutely the foundation of the entire Swedish school system! We have decided to leave Sweden in order to homeschool because we don't want our children to be dumbed down mindless followers but instead the curious and creative beings they were created to be.

Thank you very much for your comment. Where will you go to in order to homeschool your children? Unfortunately, here in Holland it has been illegal to homeschool since 1969.
My wife is from the USA and we spent the last school year over there. Right now we are in Sweden but leaving again for the States before school starts. I did not know that it was illegal to homeschool in Holland. I had heard that that Sweden and Germany were the only countries with a total ban on all forms of homeschooling.
