The alternative to the parents being the authority, is that the state is, but the state has lied constantly about everything related to COVID and children so that would be far worse.
in Europe it’s mandatory to send your child to school - whether the parents want it or not.
No it's not. It's mandatory to educate them. Home schooling exists in Europe and parents who think teachers at a school are teaching children things that are wrong can do various things about it.
- Xylakant 4y agoNo home schooling exists in germany - all children must go to a state-approved school and that school must follow the standard curriculum. There are a handful of possible exceptions - serious illness for example - but in the general case it’s not legal and may result in (partial) loss of custody. See for example https://www.lto.de/recht/nachrichten/n/olg-karlsruhe-5ufh322-sorgerecht-entzug-schulbesuch-verweigerung-kind-kindeswohlgefaehrdung-schulpflicht-erziehungsauftrag-corona/ https://www.lto.de/recht/nachrichten/n/olg-karlsruhe-5ufh322...
- fidgewidge 4y agoSo why did you say Europe when you meant Germany?
- azherebtsov 4y agoIn Poland home shchooling is a thing. There are tens of thousands kids learning at home. They only need to come to school from time to time to do some tests. They have to pass mandatory exams after year 8 - for primary education and after year 12 for high school (yes, it is allowed to do high school education). To my best knowledge you do not have to provide any specific reasons why your kid is learning at home, the parents however need to provide evidence of theirs capacity to conduct that type of education.
