Vote ‘yes’ allowing parents to homeschool in Germany

Posted on by

This poll is a daily poll and has changed.

Vote ‘yes’ allowing parents to homeschool in Germany

There is currently a poll going on a regional German radio station as a result of news coverage of a family who fled the area for the United States and is seeking refuge there.

The question is “Should parents be allowed to homeschool their own children?”

German homeschoolers are asking us to vote “Ja” for/with them.

[At the beginning of their day it was 80% against. 3 hours later it was about 50:50 but leaning towards ‘against’ as this reflects the way the press are presenting the issue as well as ‘popular opinion’]

Here is the link http://www.meinantenne1.de/news/bw_frage/index.php

When I voted at 8:27am 23 June 2009 the results were:

JA 58.24%
NEIN 41.76%

So when you vote:

Ya means Yes

Jetzt abstimmen means now vote

Ansehen means to look at, consider
