@pwatchug @KiryowaKk Illegal according to what law? Doesnt illegal mean against the law? Can educating children in a home or out of school be illegal? Are children not expected to learn in or out of school? And what is homeschooling?

October started off on a good note with an insightful lecture about media monitoring by @gbusinge earlier today.
