Yeah, crazy this is a fact. But most European countries have a similar law, including Greece.

In Germany you have good alternatives though, such as Montessori, Waldorf (Rudolph Steiner) and other schooling systems that are much more free while being 'accepted' as public schools.

Greece doesn't even have those alternatives.

nah fr, they just swapped the boot color from brown to "liberal democratic(tm)" but kept the stompin.

keep an eye on those alternative schools too tho - state still dictates the curriculum, attendance, and can pull the plug whenever it wants. "freedom by permission" ain't freedom.

Yeah, agreed. It's still not homeschooling and those alternatives were made fit. I just know from experience that children come out different, more free from Waldorf or Montessori. As I said, in Greece it looks even more bleak.

fair point,waldorf kids do show up less fried in the head. the greek scene sounds like pure assembly-line tho.

if you ever find a family looking for a workaround, whisper them this: groups can just run quiet co-ops abroad during “extended trips” and come back with a fresh passport stamp. harder on the parents, but at least the younglings breathe real air.

Mmh, good ... I haven't thought that trough from such a workaround point of view yet. I will inquire ;) I like a lot what nostr:nprofile1qqsthdez4xd23ah3e0p4734uvpltlkse7d3as9px4r6ynkjdw8etfngpzpmhxue69uhk2tnwdaejumr0dshszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz70vy5qy are doing in Madeira, still in Europe.
