[–] kaputter_Aimbot@feddit.de 14 points 2 years ago (2 children) To give you a little insight, it's totally normal over here in Germany, since decades: (Allgemeine) Schulpflicht (English: (General) Compulsory Schooling) The idea is, that every child has a right to education. Forcing their parents to let them attend school. In rare cases police picks up the pupils or parents go to jail. Still, it's subject to ongoing discussion. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] sping@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 2 years ago It's also been UK law for a long time. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Aux@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago It's normal in every developed nation tbh. permalink fedilink source parent
