On Education and Lifelines

It’s been a busy couple of weeks and I'm sorry to say this account got neglected for it.

As you probably already know, the freedom to be able to access education is very important to me and one of the things I've been doing is setting up a support community for home educators, @HomeEdders. Home educating your children can be a challenge at the best of times in a world where we're more used to school systems, but depending where you are there can be legal hoops to jump through and some countries won't even allow you to home educate at all.

It is listed as one of our human rights to be able to have access to education and the freedom to choose that education for our children. However, this is still something we're fighting for in many places and many ways across the world and it's always the poorest who are the hardest hit.

It's been a tough few weeks as we try to make ends meet on welfare. Yet as hard as it is, I am always well aware that a majority of the world population have things much worse. This is a mere taste of what they have to deal with and it gives me a great admiration for those who work through it day in day out, without the kind of support network that I have. Life always throws things our way, but they hit much harder the less you have to deal with it. Life likes to kick you when you're down. At this point anyone throwing a lifeline could be the very person to turn things around. So I'll continue to plug away at supporting those who throw those lifelines.

I'll sign off with an update on where we're at with the latest donations and SBI shares.

Thailand has a HUGE home ed community - and it's supported by the government. Many of the schools here also allow kids to partially enrol - they might just come for half a day, twice a week, to join in sports and art, for example. My daughter has several part-time students in her bi-lingual school. The educational flexibility here is really radical and exciting.

That's so good. You can do part time school/homeschool in SA, but only if the school agrees and generally they don't. It ends up being to much aggro for most.
