This post reviews Catherina Groeneveld, “Judicial Constructions of Compulsory Schooling in Germany.” M.A. Thesis, National University of Ireland, 2010.
Groeneveld, a reader of this blog, recently defended this thesis and graciously sent it to me for review. Its aim is to explain why German judges, despite a gradual softening of the German public toward homeschooling, continue to hand down decisions that condemn the practice.
