No, your point was very clear. You feel like the mom was indoctrinating the child 24x7. When this was shown to not be true, you changed your point.
The same thing should hold true for the mom not wanting the child to be educated in a public school. If they can’t agree, the child shouldn’t be forced into a public school.
Funny about that “indoctrinating 24/7”, like it’s a bad thing:
Deut 6:5-9
5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
Deut 11:19-20
19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 20 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates,
In a divorce proceeding where the parents can't agree on where the child should be educated, the decision is left up to the courts. Here the parents could not agree, so the courts made the decision. If the parents wish to have the child educated at home, all they need to do is to tell the judge they have agreed to allow the child to be homeschooled and that will be the end of it. The point is they can't agree, so the courts are forced to make this decision.

The parents of the child divorced in 1999. The mother has home-schooled their daughter since first grade with curriculum that meets all state review standards. In addition to home schooling, the girl attends supplemental public school classes and has also been involved in a variety of extra-curricular sports activities.
In the process of renegotiating the terms of a parenting plan for the girl, the guardian ad litem involved in the case concluded, according to the court order, that the girl “appeared to reflect her mother’s rigidity on questions of faith” and that the girl’s interests “would be best served by exposure to a public school setting” and “different points of view at a time when she must begin to critically evaluate multiple systems of belief...in order to select, as a young adult, which of those systems will best suit her own needs.”
Marital Master Michael Garner reasoned that the girl’s “vigorous defense of her religious beliefs to [her] counselor suggests strongly that she has not had the opportunity to seriously consider any other point of view” and then recommended that the girl be ordered to enroll in a government school instead of being home-schooled.
