It's certainly possible to homeschool here, but it's quite tightly regulated, with regular inspections and stuff to make sure the kids are learning rather than just sitting at home watching TV! I guess it's commoner in the USA than Europe though...a cultural difference, I suppose!
Is German schooling really regarded poorly? All the Germans I've met are so smart and all-round well educated, and the Abitur sounds so much more demanding than our sissy A-levels that are now so easy one in 4 entrants get an "A" grade!
And yeah - I think no matter how "perfect" the school system looks to outsiders, the government will still find failings with how the previous government managed it, and try to "improve" it. And there will always be people saying, "It was all much better when I was a child!"
