If you are an Australia (or have friends there) please support the homeschoolors in NSW. The government is trying to change the way you can home educate children which will force many home educated children to go to school. You can find more information about it here but please sign the petition AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST: change.org/petitions/nsw-minister-for-education-changes-to-home-education-pack?utm_source=supporter_message&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=petition_message_notice (Note the petition at change.org was started over a month ago and the government rejected it because it was signed by people not from Australia hence the new petition found at hea.edu.au/) Below is the latest e-mail update I received on Tuesday: "The situation is pretty dire. We have had at least one child hospitalised due to these policies and multiple families put under extreme stress. We need your help. This change petition is not in a format that can be tabled in parliament so a new petition has been started. Petitions for the NSW parliament need to be paper based. I am sending you the link to the HEA webpage which has this petition on it. It is highlighted in green. We need 10000 Australian signatures and would like to have them in 2 weeks. If you live in Australia would you consider printing one out and getting your family, friends and teenage children to sign. We need the petition posted back to the address in the form ASAP. Send pages as you finish signing them. Take them to your homeschool groups, churches, clubs, the stores where you shop and ask for support. If every Australian homeschooler were just to get 10 signatures we could reach this target many times over. The petition can be found at hea.edu.au/ Please help us to reach out target."
