File talk:Homeschool Legality-World.svg

In Poland, which is listed in this graphic in green color situation is not as good as one might think. While we have the law that allows homeschooling, you need permission from local chool's headmaster. I don't know how exactly it works, but in general, headmasters rarely permit homeschooling. In fact, local pro-homeschooling organisation says that we have only a few homeschooling families.

My point is that while graphic is true, it is irrelevant. To represent common sense, Poland should be orange, since we have homeschooling, but it's highly restricted. The meaning of colors should be modified, since one might feel that our homeschoolers are in better situation than USA.

My proposition would be to replace this image with one, that would be summarising how many children are homeschooled, while using some additional symbols to mark countries where homeschooling is legal/restricted/illegal. 04:38, 31 December 2008 (UTC)Kshinji (talk)

Homeschooling is legal but restricted in Norway. I'd change the colour myself but am unable to do so at the moment. --Aqwis (talk) 17:03, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Hungary

Here's another one that ought to be changed. Hungary should show yellow on the map . . . at least according to the information on the page. Ed8r (talk) 16:36, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Poland

Poland should be yellow here (or orange). All homeschooled kids are technically enrolled in a real school, and homeschooling is only available subject to school's permission, positive psychological assessment, and passing annual exams.

United States

The U.S. should be colored green on this map, as homeschooling is legal in all 50 states. What is disputed is NOT the legality of homeschooling, but the "amount of state regulation and help that can or should be expected", according to the article Homeschooling in the United States. --1990'sguy (talk) 15:51, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
