RE: Always Be Prepared For The Worst - Never Assume Full Safety
I agree with your post! It is important that you keep the circle of people who know about your dealings small. If members of my family do not agree with our certain decisions, we do not tell them what we are doing in that area. We have very few people (mostly like-minded friends) who actually know most of the information you've listed here - not even family knows because they don't agree with what we do or don't do. Crazy. Come to Panama!! :) We hope that Panama will continue to let us homeschool as expats. It isn't up for question now (in Costa Rica, it is illegal to homeschool). Panama likes to start enforcing laws that it hasn't in the past at random (like border crossings to restart your visitor visa - that recently was stopped and required a 30 day trip home before it could be renewed when before you could just cross over the CR border to get a new stamp). No country is perfect or safe I guess...and going underground may be the future answer. Scary. I know not what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future.
Amen! That last statement you made gave me chills!! Seriously when all is at doubt we know who has the final say!!! That is exactly how we handle things. Our family and friends that don’t agree with or understand what we do, we don’t let into our business or keep them posted of our plans. We only have a few like-minded friends in this area as well. Oh trust me Panama is on our getaway list!! 😃 I hope they continue to let you homeschool too! I hope it doesn’t come down to us having to go underground but it’s getting crazy out here. 😕
