that she is 12th grade is no wonder. she has no TV where she can sit in front of and gets brain-nuked. she has no friends for which it is more important to get good dressed than to learn for school. the only thing she can do in the forest is play with stics, anemals and her father. if he takes care on her and makes intresting lessons she can learn a lot. sure, she wont have homework, but thats in normal schools only somthing to force students to learn. she dont have anything else to do, so she will be interested in everything out in the world.... this example showes how ineffective the normal school is...  but if you ask me, i dont want to spend my childhood in the forrest with nothing else than school ...greetings, daid _______________ Founder of the Fisto Family -|- Member of the mighty FiZZsters!! -|- Owner of the second Bail prize for "BAIL RULES!!" -|- I'll never forget you Jaina! -|- Owner of the one and only autograph of Smily -|- SMILY RULES -|- Owner of the 1000th Comment of the great Kueller -|- Big brother to NarCosT Fisto, and ShadowFax . -|- Proud Padawan of Kueller -|-Sir Daidalus Fisto.

It doesn't sound like they rejected technology, though. They just maintained a simple, amazingly low-budget and, yes, rather unorthodox lifestyle. If I were single and unattached, I would very seriously consider living outdoors for a few years. I wouldn't be as hard-core as this guy--I'd still have my Lincoln and probably a laptop computer. But I bet I could own a whole bunch of rental properties in under ten years if I didn't have the expense of owning my own house. _______________ My signature is only one line. You're welcome. |

Good poitn Javaguy. But that's western civilization for you. anything that isn't part of society must be f'ed up. Heaven forbid we not embrace technology. _______________ I must not fear . Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear . I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. Gom gom gom gom gom! |

I think they find it unaceptable because for some reason, the state thinks it their responibility to decide what's right for kids (and in some situations, bad ones, it is). At least they didn't decide to take her away from her father like they would normally do. They should feel lucky they actually had police officers who actually for once cared. _______________ Master of the almighty BOGONE!

WOW!!! I agree with Javaguy, if they were both healthy and the girl was educated, why is that unacceptable? _______________ Midbie Council Member #2 - Profile ID 2073 | Member of B@rtM@ulS@ar | Owner of Monty's 2000th comment & D@RtHM@UL's 8100th comment | Former Padawan of SilkMonkey & Arcuss JA Goaltender & NHL Fan | Fellow Rush fan to Axion|Plo Koon is my oldest JA friend Post your RL pics HERE! | Post you JK2/JK3 screenies HERE! |

I don't understand why their living conditions were "unacceptable." She was being educated. She was fed and clothed. They camped out all the time, sure, but lots of people camp out a lot. It sounds like her standard of living was considerably better than many "properly" housed children. I know a guy who lived for three months at a public camp ground. He looked at what rent and utilities cost per month, looked at what the camping fee added up to over a month, and ended up living there all summer. A very economical way to live. _______________ My signature is only one line. You're welcome. |
