Kudos to iprickett for home schooling. I've heard many stories about the difficulties the government imposes for those who choose this option, and have heard that ex pats may actually be left alone to home school more so than natives. I don't know if this is correct, but had an ex pat friend who left Uruguay because of the hassle she perceived when she tried to home school. Going hand in hand with governmental opposition to home schooling (which is clearly stronger in other countries) is the increasing pressure to vaccinate children. One Argentine woman, who HAD vaccinated, reported that here in Uruguay, where she was living with her then 3 year old son, a social worker and police officer showed up at her door one day unannounced to take her son because they merely "suspected" (falsely as it turned out) that she had not vaccinated him. (He subsequently suffered seizures at age 8 and other health problems which seemed to finally go away when he got old enough to not have to be vaccinated and she stopped the giving him flouriode tablets prescribed by an Uruguayan doctor) This post is not long enough to detail all the evidence showing the mounting levels of vaccine injuries, including deaths, that admittedly result from vaccines. The evidence is that the younger the child, the worse the neurological and other damage. So if Uruguay goes the way the You Enn and Big Pharma are pushing, it can expect to see many, many more children with speech and neurological problems. I would like to know whether Uruguay, like the states in the You Ess, has legislation granting exemptions from vaccines. (Often these statutes exist but people don't know about their rights under them.) We already see Big Medica here pushing flouride for babies and pregnant women, which causes an assortment of other proveable health issues without preventing dental cavities, as was falsely touted years ago.
