Part IV: Sweden, a Case Study, Cont.

In this fourth part of our inquiry dealing with the politics of homeschooling, we continue our review of Sweden’s educational policies as an illustration of what one can expect when socialist principles run amuck in the land of the free.

He was 39 years of age. His last moments are recorded as follows:

Up until our recent past, the topic of homescooling was rarely discussed, as schools for the most part served our children well with regards to a secure foundation in language, mathematics and the sciences.
