Emily, Amanda and Melinda, Honestly, I didn't really believe that the police were here to question me, but it did give me a fearful pause. Afterwards, I couldn't help but be thankful for those who fought to keep the rights we enjoy, and think of those whose rights are denied. Connie,

When we first moved to this town, I didn't know how the local police felt about hs'ing, so I gave Lee a note to carry with him saying that he had been sent to the library to do research. The note ended, "DO NOT HARASS MY CHILD." I knew the state law and had a copy of the relevant codes in case anyone tried to cause trouble. Eleven years later, I can say that as long as the kids are polite, nobody cares. One year, I gave the girls a "Skip school" certificate for Christmas. They had to put it on their beds and disappear for the day. If I saw them before noon, they'd have to do school. They had so much fun! At some point, they chose to go to the elementary school. They walked around, talking to the kids and teachers until the principal told them they had to leave. Yes, we are a bit in-your-face, but I figure that the more people see hs kids, the more normal it will seem for kids to have freedom, instead of being imprisoned all day. What a great chance to explain to another mom about how easy/wonderful/cheap it is to hs! I’m so contrary that I purposely take/send the kids out during public school hours.

I agree with ThirstyJon. That must have really been taken your breath away to think that a police could have come for your children. Luckily we live out in the country, so we don't have to worry about that too much. Altho if I go to town with one of the younger children, I try to go after school would be out, just to avoid questioning. I am glad your neighbors are supportive. Love, Prayers and Blessings, Amanda AMEN!! I agree with ThirstyJon.
