Helping a Home Schooler Get on Minecraft Education
My kids were able to get onto Minecraft education because the county school system they are in has an account or relationship or whatever with Minecraft. They have a friend whose home schooled. How would that kid be able to play Minecraft education?

Minecraft: Education Edition was designed for teachers to be able to use in their classrooms. As such the mulitplayer does not work like the Java/Bedrock versions of the game. Only students who are in the same Office 365 Education tenet (basically the same school) will have the option of connecting so they can complete school assignments, this is done for security purposes for both the schools and the students using it. I will link information on connecting from home below. If your child just wants to play the game and connect with other users around the world I would suggest just purchasing the Bedrock/Java version of the game as it is designed to just be played and does not have the security restrictions that our version of the game has.

You can't but you can do most of the coding activities by downloading 'code connection for minecraft'

The kids aren't at the level of being able to do any coding yet they just want to connect to their friends and play which we know how to do if everyone is using Education edition. So you are saying there's no way for this home schooled kid to get the Education edition?

There's a way, but the thing is, you need to be under the same Office 365 tenant to be able to play in the same world. So while it's possible for Homeschool Kid to get Minecraft EE, the way I see it, they'd need an account from your kids' school, or your kids need accounts under the Office 365 tenant Homeschool Kid is going to make.
