I'm sorry if it wasn't clear, that clause was meant to apply to the German legal requirements.
Homeschooling a child pretty much involves taking the state to court for your right to do so.
German Wikipedia estimates the number of such cases (I assume before Covid) to below 3000 (Germany has 83m inhabitants).
- tnorthcutt 5y agoThank you for clarifying, that makes a lot more sense.
- SllX 5y agoSince Germany is also a Federal system, is this a state-by-state thing or is that 3000 representative of Germany as a whole? Do all States require the, as you put it above, “social classroom” experience, or is that a Federal requirement?
- ThePadawan 5y agoI'm kind of sorry for quoting the 3000 from Wikipedia [0] without a primary source. Apart from that, it is seemingly indeed left to each state if and how to enforce compulsory schooling - they just all do it. They only differ in the ages/durations required [1].

- SllX 5y ago> I'm kind of sorry for quoting the 3000 from Wikipedia [0] without a primary source. Hey, we’ve all done it at some point in our lives so no worries, mate. Thanks for answering though. I’m always curious how other Federal systems tend to function compared to the one I live in.
