Being a colorful description of the experiences, observations, and insights of the Schuchardt Family while they live in Switzerland.

Off To School You Go!!!

We've just finally "presented" to the Comune di Sorengo, and the question of the children's education has come up. They are officially registered in the Clonlara School in Michigan, and doing a distance-learning curriculum. Meanwhile, Constance and Mercer are taking college-level Italian (Constance currently earning the highest grade in the class), and they are enjoying their other studies as well. The Comune di Sorengo answers to Bellinzona, who represents the Canton of Ticino, whose official law is that the children must be registered in a "Swiss-accredited school" whether public or private. So barring some sort of divine or semi-divine intervention, the four oldest Schuchardt children will be doing something next Tuesday that they have never yet done in their lives: they'll be leaving home to attend school. Stay tuned for more...

I assume this is bad news (though your deadpan delivery made me unsure). If it is, take heart in God's good sovereignty:

"And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered." (Matthew 10:28-30)

"The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:5-7)

Keep us posted.

Alternative education, also known as non-traditional education or educational alternative, includes a number of approaches to teaching and learning other than mainstream or traditional education. Educational alternatives are often rooted in various philosophies that are fundamentally different from those of mainstream or traditional education. While some have strong political, sportsbook, scholarly, or philosophical orientations, others are more informal associations of teachers and students dissatisfied with some aspect of mainstream or traditional education. Educational alternatives, which include charter schools, alternative schools, independent schools, and home-based learning vary widely, but often emphasize the value of small class size, close relationships between students and teachers, and a sense of community. http://www.enterbet.com
