>>"I can't see how the first half of that isn't a violation of ECHR Article 8. "
The law says ..."except such as is in accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety or the economic well-being of the country, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others."
Otherwise I can decide not to school my children.
- pjc50 8y agoIt looks like this is subject to the decision in Wunderlich v Germany which appears to be ongoing; I had no idea that homeschooling was illegal in Germany, it's perfectly legal in the UK provided that the parents provide adequate education.

The letter and the spirit of the law makes it clear that the state has a very legit interest in educating people--including and maybe, especially, immigrants.
