As a homeschooler, sometimes I think it is rough here in the US.  However, here is an article describing how it is in Germany.  Apparently, Hitler outlawed homeschooling, and they are still enforcing the laws and making people miserable.  The ideas all flow out of Hitler's logic.

 "How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think."
Adolf Hitler

"By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise."
Adolf Hitler

Not that long ago, homeschooling was illegal in certain parts of the US (such as Iowa).  The freedom to homeschool is a big victory for freedom in the US.
