https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_Gedanken_sind_frei Since the days of the Carlsbad Decrees and the Age of Metternich, "Die Gedanken sind frei" was a popular protest song against political repression and censorship, especially among the banned Burschenschaften student fraternities. In the aftermath of the failed 1848 German Revolution the song was banned. The Achim/Brentano text was given a new musical setting for voice and orchestra by Gustav Mahler in his 1898 Des Knaben Wunderhorn collection.

The song was important to certain anti-Nazi resistance movements in Germany.[3] In 1942, Sophie Scholl, a member of the White Rose resistance group, played the song on her flute outside the walls of Ulm prison, where her father Robert had been detained for calling the Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler a "scourge of God". Earlier, in 1935, the guards at the Lichtenburg concentration camp had ordered prisoners to stage a performance in celebration of Hitler's 46th birthday; the imprisoned lawyer Hans Litten recited "Die Gedanken sind frei" in response.[4]

Found this maybe 6-7 years ago and it was someone's college project if I remember right , so don't think there's any truth to it being a real training video. I'll see if I can find the info on it's background again

I guess it might have to be at a time where it wouldn't fit otherwise. a situation were it's out of place , the 17 has some motion and more going on with the sign. at least if we know the signs it would stick out to us , otherwise we probably wouldn't even notice

I think some areas have shared home school where a group of parents each take a day with a few kids so all the kids get more of a school setting and get the social setting as well , plus you can still have a job and teach you kids. So if you could find some other like minded parents It might be something that could work for you . I know most people can't just not goto work but could manage one less day of work.

Well its stated Charlie ward was said to have confirmed this so with that being said I wouldn't put to much credibility into this. Don't get me wrong I would be great if this was true , but charlie ward seems to be a bs artist
