Musings In Missouri

• Jun. 11, 2008 - Springfield Missouri Woman Sentenced To Jail For Son's Truancy

Here's the link to a story that broke yesterday about a Springfield, Missouri woman that was sentenced to 2-days in jail for her son's truancy: http://www.examiner.com/printa-1435188~Mother_sentenced_to_2_days_in_jail_for_son's_truancy.html I'm sure that there's much more to this story that what we're hearing from the media...for example...what's all this about the son's enrollment being revoked from Springfield public schools? Hmmmm....I wonder...Is this woman homeschooling because it's a heartfelt conviction? Something that she feels is mandated by her Heavenly Fathera above, and in accordance with His written Word? Or is she homeschooling simply because she had no other choice, because her child was kicked out of the public school system? Either way, it's a head's up for Missouri homeschoolers. Remember, folks, there are laws that must be obeyed (hours put in, records kept, etc.), and conditions that must be met in order to keep our freedom as homeschoolers in Missouri. Let' s make sure we're all doing our part. ~Rebecca
