Common core curriculum is also dumbing kids down. I'm a huge believer in homeschooling. My husband was homeschooled all the way up, and I went to public school. Hearing him talk about his growing up years makes me so jealous. I remember being riddled with anxiety about homework, tests, etc. Kids bullied me, and I had some truly awful teachers some years.
He on the other hand would wake up and have a morning Bible study as a family while they all ate breakfast. Then they would have 30 minutes of doing chores. And after that they would settle in and start school around 9. The little kids were done after a couple of hours. The older kids might have to do school til 1 ish... and that's with recesses and breaks. Then they had the rest of the day to play, relax, practice music, read, whatever. They were involved in sports at their local community center and they were involved in their church. They got to go on field trips all the time and got together with other homeschool families and did co-ops and stuff. He got more socialization than I did. And his mom's goal was for her kids to enjoy learning.
He went on to get his MBA and has a great job. After hearing about his experience, I will 100% homeschool if God ever blesses us with children.
Oh I keep forgetting people are still locked down. It's insane to me. I'm in Texas. Everything has been open since May/June. We have a stupid mask mandate, but other than that life is pretty much normal. It's hard to believe the lockdowns are still going on. Lunacy.
But doing school at home on the computer vs. homeschooled..... the socialization aspect would be exactly the same in either case in a lockdown area. And this way the kids aren't being indoctrinated with Marxist ideology.

This works like it did for your husband for nobody else in the world right now. But yeah. The thought is perfect.
