I take the approach “in the world, but not of it”

If you’re under that kind of regime, send her to the state sanctioned school so that you can continue to be her father in person. Be “in the world” with her.

While also teaching her to be “not of it” teach her that even though you don’t agree with the regime, that you will not force her to do things that will separate you from her. Teach her that you would prefer her to choose self sovereignty, when it’s appropriate.

Just as you do not like the overreaching restrictions placed upon you by the state, you cannot place overreaching restrictions upon her as her father.

You must lead by example.

It's basically Jesus words.

Joh 17, 14-18.

Every Christ lives by the "in this world, but not from this world" idea.

My daughter is 2 years old, so I think of homeschooling too.

Almost any country will do. Some force you to teach your kids, but you can do it by yourself (like Austria and France). Others don't care at all.

Then there's always the possibility to do homebirth, so the state just doesn't know of your child.

No tax number, no school indoctrination, no conscription...

I just think centralized education has failed.

Of course. There where U.S. presidents that never went to school.

But Germans think they know it best.

But it's NOT about centralication or even education, it's about producing CONFORMITY and for 'THE GREATER GOOD'.
