Pulling kids out of school for cruise

[AquaDame]

How is that xenophobic? European governments exercise much more control over children than US governments (and I use plural because there are different US state governments). Putting a parent in jail because they want to home school does ultimately mean the government thinks they have full rights to (or own) your children.

Or, put another way, they see it as a right your children have to an unbiased and structured education vs homeschooling. I have no opinion on one or the other being better than the other.

And I am kind of taken aback that you admit you are biased and trying to help him (I think him) make his point. I really do feel singled out for my views.

I apologize for making you feel singled out, I was just attempting to help you understand why I assigned points to both of you, as you said you didn't understand. I was trying to 'help' the other poster by explaining how your post came across. Not that their view was better or correct at all. After speaking with the other cruise mod, we are going to lock this thread - please PM me if you would like to continue the conversation!
