The officials also want to "stamp out parallel societies" such as those supposedly inhabited by home schooling families and are looking for ways to "bring the religious convictions of the family into line with the ... school attendance requirements."

Are your children good at asking questions?  If you have a toddler in your home, then your answer is probably a resounding, "YES!"  It may seem that you are constantly being bombarded with the most basic of all questions: the simple, "Why?"  As your children move into their kindergarten and elementary school years, their questions become a bit more complex, like, "Why is the sky blue?" or "How big is an atom?" 

 

By the time your children enter their junior high and high school years, they begin to consider various plans for their futures. Along with such considerations comes a whole new set of questions.  "Should I go to college after high school graduation?"  "What career field should I pursue?" "If I do go to college, what should be my major?" and so on. This is a stage in their lives when they really need to ask questions, yet most teenagers with whom I talk admit they are asking very few, if any, questions.
