Homeschooling in Media
Articles, radio programs, TV programs etc. where home education is featured. South African media is generally very positive about home education.
It is very important that the media is positive about home education, because research has shown the judicial system interprets the law in terms of public opinion. A researcher of the harsh sentences given to homeschoolers in Germany has concluded : "So long as the vast majority of Germans find homeschooling an aberrant and socially dangerous activity, judges will read the law that way. But when public opinion changes, the law will too, even if the words of the law stay the same."
