This will probably be the last day I ever use the internet. Tonight, my husband, kids, and I are ditching it all for a new life. A few years back, we bought a cabin and some property up north. We're going off the grid and going to live off the land, just the five of us. We sold everything we could to raise the cash for supplies like cloth and medicines. I spent $5,000 just on textbooks and basic school supplies so I can educate the kids at home until the youngest is through high school.We bought books, art supplies, and musical instruments for entertainment. I no longer even feel scared. Good bye to traffic, bills, and scary news on the tv.

I get the impression you're on the conservative side of things. People who want to home school their kids, and live outside the evils of society generally are. If so, please do stay out in the woods - that's a few less votes for McSame and Carribou Barbie.

this is completely unfair on your children how can you make this decision on their behalf? what gives you the rite to deprive them of culture and civilisation, they have to learn to be strong, appreciating the postive whilst trying to combat the negative asspects of society.

what will you teach them by running away? they need to learn to develop (and discover) their own sense of morality and find their own goals. the level of control you will have over your children will be very unhealthy, they will be effectively living under a dictatorship.

address what ever issue it is making you want to make this move, because this is not the answer.

"the rite to deprive them of culture" - are you serious?

God, I hope you're not a teacher. Please say you're not a teacher.

I doubt it. Certainly not in spelling or grammar. Probably not in anything else either.

big decision but , i do believe it can be done :) i don't believe you are depriving your children of anything , as long as you spend lots of quality time with them & they are learning things in the process of doing so & getting an education in some aspect , if you are intelligent &

clued up on the world enough yourselves then it will only add to the benefits your move will bring.iv'e no doubt you will end up in town at some point for food supplies etc so in that context , it's not like your kids will be totally secluded from the world & anyhow .. they always have the option ,
