If these parents had stayed together and not gotten divorced the court wouldn’t be involved. Stay married untill your kids are grown ang out of the house. Worry about your kids and not your own happiness and you wont be able to bitch about the court getting in your business, You would be able do do WHATEVER you wanted with your own kids. The ONLY reason the court is making these decisions for you is because YOU invited them into your relationship. YOU put yourself above your kids and now you are crying about it. YOU chose to have kids now stay married untill they are grown and out of the house especially if you are SO religous. HYPOCRITES!!!

Sometimes it’s really that simple, isn’t it? I feel a little stupid for not thinking of this myself/earlier, though.

I would agree with it, only if the facts show the parents are dirt bags and the kids cant read or write at some level and in poor health.. Other than its the parents rights and its a matter of the children getting brought into a nasty Hogan style divorce…

What I find funny, is all the people who jump so quickly to decide what this couples’ children should or should not do. Frankly, the decision should be strictly between the childrens’ parents, and the court since the father believes differently than the mother. Personally, I chose public school for my children. A decision made between my kids father and myself. Should they, one day, chose to become a bit more religious, so be it.. but until then, I want my children to be exposed to all aspects so when they become adults, they can make an educated decision of their own.

The mother has every right to teach her children about God, just like the dad has every right to make sure his children get a well rounded education. If he doesn’t feel she is giving them a full education, he has the right and responsability to his children to do something about it. If you teach your children about God at home properly, they will take it with them no matter what school they attend and you won’t feel the need to keep them away from anything that might challenge you.

cut the shiz ppl we teach our kids the manners that are necessary in life. these teachers today are only in it for the money. these judges punish the wrong ppl that do the minor crimes and let the worst criminals go. let the parents do their own thing. these schools are riddled with corrupt kids due to broken families. they should keep them kids in home schooling

Parents are the greatest teachers for children. Children learn from their parents’ acts, not their words.

Ridiculous….lets expose the children to a mediocre to poor public education that does little to make them globally competitive. As long as the home schooled kids test at the same level or better in biology, chemistry and physics..religious based teaching is no big deal.

There is a reason our Universities offer High School level courses in the freshman year. Many degree programs in other nations are 3 years because their students were well prepared at the high school level by having 13 classes as opposed to our typical 6-7 classes.

The only issue I have ever read about home schooled kids concerns their social growth. These kids tend to be socially awkward and might not be accepted by their peers. However, that shouldn’t be a reason to discontinue their home based education.
