The court noted that no international treaty grants a right to homeschooling

Rights are inherent, not granted by a government

“Many children who are homeschooled have less interaction with their peers outside the family, so are less socialized."

Being home-schooled does not mean that children can't or won't interact with playmates in their own neighborhood. And, if home-schooling is not legal, how can she know that? It is an unproven talking-point. What she means is that children who are home-schooled can't be INDOCTRINATED so easily.

"The court noted that no international treaty grants a right to homeschooling."

Surprise, surprise.

Excellent points. The impersonality and cliquishness of large public schools - along with bullying - are well-known problems, along with diminishing academic standards.

Correct. Most children make few close friends at school because the children are drawn from a relatively large area. Most of the other students remain strangers with - at most - a vaguely familiar face. Most of your friends tend to be children from your own neighborhood, who - as you say - you associate with in small groups, and who you interact with even if you don’t go to the same school.

"Ooops...for got to list my ancestral homeland as being particularly cowardly: Ireland."

Ireland's race to secularist, anti-Christian globalism was particularly swift and shocking. The church scandals helped accelerate it, but still . . .
