1) This is not a chat room.
2) This is in fact a legal forum, dealing in the LAW and its application.
3) Disagreement or questioning is not judgment - even in America!
4) There are many facts that YOU do not know about educational neglect and my intent was to show you that in fact home schooling does not fall under educational neglect.
5) If your intent is to get custody of your son you will have to show actual reasoning to why HIS BEST INTEREST is to live with you. That is about fact, not opinion.
6) Very many ten year olds in public, private and home schools cannot read. Please refer yourself to some actual information on the subject - read some Dr. Raymond Moore or some John Taylor Gatto or possibly John Holt.
7) In reading the works of John Holt please refer to the concept of unschooling or child-led learning. This is a very legitimate, and not illegal, type of homeschooling. This is particularly relevant in your son's case if the situation is as you describe it. However, since you are not there every day (and your own education seems to be lacking, judging from your posts), I tend to take your description with a grain of salt much as I would if you had said that in public school your child is fed lunch, watchs some videos and plays on the computer (although in fact there are many schools where parents might feel that is all that happens).
8) Again, I am warning you to reexamine your legal records in re: the custody of the child. Please notice I did not say "how much do you visit with the child?" I asked you for the LEGAL wording of the custody order especially referring to your legal status. This was so I could help you determine whether you even have a legal right to 'dispute' the boy's educational status. This would be best determined with facts about YOUR rights - do you have joint legal custody?
9) When you approach a web site hoping for information or advice, please approach with the intent of staying on issue and providing actual facts instead of worrying about your "feelings." This is not a touchy feely website. For that you should perhaps approach lifetimetv.com or maybe the aclu.
