Home education is increasingly popular in the UK. Known as âhomeschoolingâ in the United States, it simply means that parents take responsibility for their childrenâs education rather than delegating it to a school.ccording to the 1996 education act in England and Wales, it is parents (not the state) who are responsible for providing their childrenâs education âin school or otherwiseâ. Their education must be suitable for the age, ability and aptitude of each child.
Uwe and Hanalore Romeike want to educate their seven children at home, rather than in the school system. But in Germany where they come from originally, home schooling is illegal. It isn't just discouraged, it is punishable by heavy fines and imprisonment and their children could be taken away from them. So along with other German home-schooling families they have come to the United States and are seeking asylum. But the claim they are being persecuted has not been accepted and unless the Supreme Court intervenes they face deportation from the US. We are being persecuted, as are many other home schooling families in Germany, says Mr Romeike. Parents should have the right to choose the best education for their children.
