Thanks, sarameg. Will do.
Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Actually, the worst reason I saw for parents to homeschool - is that both had a terrible time when they went to school. and I got to say though their kids are smart and nice - the two girls I know best - are just a little too sheltered from the real world. R- the oldest hasn't realized she can stand on her own. S is a little better. Sadly, I think they have caught mom and dad's fear of people without the experience to back it up.

Random observation: sparrows are vicious little suckers. Outside the store, two of them had a third down on its back, and they were trying to steal whatever was in its mouth. Dang. Little sparrow muggers.

So what are the religious reasons for home schooling? Is it just to keep the kids out of the secular cultural environment? They don't want their kids learning about evolution? They want their kids to have a religious education (Biblical history, etc)?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
One year growing up in New Jersey, I noticed that every single church in town suddenly had a religious school, when only the Catholic church had one before.
Years later, I realized it was because NJ had passed a (the first in the country?) mandatory sex education law.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Our wings are not tired.
I don't know much about the religious homeschooling, but almost all the site I found for assistance were religious in nature. And they had some great resources.

You know really we should avoid teaching the wacko religious kids about teh sex because they're just going to go and reproduce if we do.
