Do you ever see this thing in forums where someone writes "Phht.. were you homeschooled?". A derogatory insinuation. In reality, at least in my province, being 'Home schooled' would imply a compliment. Some recent studies showed home-schooled students did better, on average, than public school counterparts.
I don't know what's going on in Sweden but where I am now - the home-school courses MUST include a kind of mandatory curriculum which is found in the public schools.
But you know.. let's face it. She is probably some left-wing fascist who is trying to find ways to force your children into the soft-communist left-wing liberal progressive brainwashing that is Swedens school system. She is angry some are escaping it. My guess anyways.

According to the HSLDA, Lotta Edholm, a prominent leader of Sweden’s liberal party, opined in an article in Aftonbladet, a Swedish newspaper, that the nation’s social service laws should be changed to encourage social workers to take children away from homeschooling families.
“That the deputy minister of social affairs, Maria Larsson … should take an initiative to change the social services act so that the social authorities can intervene when children are kept away from school by their parents,” she wrote in her blog.

“This is the most direct and serious threat to date for homeschooling families in the Nordic country where the climate for homeschooling is literally freezing,” the HSLDA report said.
The organization said Jonas Himmelstrand, chief of the Swedish Association for Home Education, believes Edholm’s perception that homeschooling isn’t compatible with democracy simply inverts freedom.
“Edholm argues that because children have a right to an education, this means that public school is the only valid option,” Himmelstrand told the HSLDA.
