...since in Germany homeschooling is illegal.

Homeschooling is illegal in Germany, so some families have sought asylum abroad in order to home-school their children.[16] The illegality has to do with the prioritization of children's rights over the rights of parents: children have the right to the company of other children and adults who are not their parents, also parents cannot opt their kids out of sexual education classes because the state considers a child's right to information to be more important than a parent's desire to withhold it.[17]

Freedom and Rights for Children. Wish we had that.
