Hello fellow privacy seekers,

  With all the privacy related problems with almost every organization
using your SSN, I decided to delay getting a SSN for my kids until they
are have income and need a SSN for tax purposes.  Now I am starting the
process of getting my oldest registered for kindergarden and I am
informed by the school that the state of Ohio requires a SSN for the
child to go to school.  If you don't have one, they will assign you a
temporary number until you get your official SSN. I have not fully
investigated the actual law, but I plan on fighting this law.

What are my options here?  Can they deny my child an education because
she is not numbered?

Any hints or comments are welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Paul Scheidler.

[Moderator's Note:  Ask them what they will do if you refuse to get a SSN
for your kids.  I think they will back down as there is a requirement for
your kids to go to school.  There is a small movement of parents who
would rather teach their kids at home rather than send them to school.
The public school establishment is against this movement and have been
fighting it.  If refusal to provide SSNs is all it takes to be able
not to register kids in school it going to make life easier for those
parents who prefer to teach their kids at home.  Take a stand and force
the issue. ._dennis ]
