" If we look at what goes on in other countries, the U.S. stands out as the anomaly. When other countries allow homeschooling, they regulate it much more strictly. They demand that parents show they are qualified to teach and that they turn in the curricula they plan to use. Other countries impose home-visit requirements, which are both a protection against child maltreatment and also a check on whether the parents are actually providing the education they say they are."

France has very strict regulations regarding homeschooling, but i wouldn't consider that a win. The official program, whether in schools or in homeschooling still lacks many things and still contains various forms of historical propaganda for the horrors of the french Empire.

While private catholic schools that people pay thousands of euros for are silently allowed to spew homophobic/creationist propaganda, it's become much harder for anarchist parents to teach their kids at home or together.

Personally i still think anti-authoritarian schools (like Montessori) are much better than homeschooling, but i don't think war against homeschooling is a good thing, especially when it's done at the same time that public services are slowly being disfunded/dismantled to their slow and painful death.

classic (deliberate) oversight in all comparative political studies in the US: there are 180 other countries. of course YOUR country will always be an outlier compared to some other countries
