Every International Convention recognize parents’ right to educate their children according to own beliefs, however, in some countries private education it is not accessible for all families. The revival of religiosity has an academic interest, so sociologists, psychologists, experts in law, and politicians keep fights on a hard field of combat as children’ education. Otherwise, some families prefer not to mix their children with values do not admitted by their religion, and decide to raise them at home. They are against some public state attitudes in matter of education, not against the necessity of education in itself. Certainly, home education involves interests really difficult to harmonize: the best child interest, compelling interests like compulsory education, and parents’ right to educate their children according to own beliefs. I’ll analyze the legislation in those countries and some judicial decisions of vital importance to elaborate serious conclusions on this micro and macro conflict where identity, integration and citizenship are in fascinating confrontation. I’ll study homeschooling cases in United States and United Kingdom and the type of home schools because it is not necessary to stay at home. In some states of USA, for example, every child attending a church school is also exempt from the requirements of compulsory attendance because home schools are qualified as church schools, operated as a ministry of a local church, group of churches, denomination, and/or association of churches on a nonprofit basis which do not receive any state or federal funding.
