Trying to homeschool in Germany
Nov. 26, 2007
more details on the protest this Friday

Here is some more specific information for those who are nearby for the protest in front of the German School in Pretoria, South Africa. I look forward to hearing about it afterwards, and will report here. :-)

"With this message I would like to request home schooling parents to
support this protest.

South African home schoolers have the freedom to provide home
education, thanks to home schoolers all over the world that campaigned
against the South African government. Due to this pressure, South
African legislation was changed to allow home education. If we now
help home schoolers in other countries, then they will help us again
in the future, should this be necessary.

You can support this protest in one or more of the following ways:

1) Please read the media release carefully and think of slogans
that we can put on our banners during the protest. The slogans can be
in English of German. You can publish your slogan on this mailing list.

2) Distribute the media release on other mailing lists that you
are subscribed to that might be interested in it.

3) Help us the phone home schoolers to encourage them to take
part in the protest. The Pestalozzi Trust has made it telephone
facilities available to the association. Please phone Leendert van
Oostrum at (082) 8262 675 and make an appointment to come to the
offices of the Pestalozzi Trust and help them to make phone calls or
get a list of numbers to phone from your home.

4) Attend the protest on Friday 30 November. The protest will be
a stationary poster demonstration at the German School in Simon
Vermooten Drive. The protest will be between 10h00 and 16h00, and you
can come anytime during these hours. However, the most people should
be their between 13h00 and 15h00, because this is the time during
which parents pick up their children at the school.

Regards

- Bouwe van der Eems

(Chairman : Association for HomeSchooling)"


Comments

My intention was originally just to store all the e-mails I've sent telling about our fight to homeschool in Germany. From August 2005 through February 2006, I also wrote about our experience in the German school system, and then we were out of the country for six months doing a DTS with YWAM. We've been back since the beginning of September, 2006.
