As a Grandmother with lots of toddler grandchildren, if one catches something now he or she gets treated as a pariah cause God forbid any child catch a cold. They get banned from school, banned from extended family visits, doomed to isolation. For frigging colds, and then the drama about “you exposed my precious child to illness” from the parents. WTF happened to normal childhood colds and flu….

The problem with homeschool is that kids are not able to develop a strong immune system which depends on normal exposure to germs. The homeschool environment is great for other reasons, but is usually socially isolating compared to public school. I want my kid out and about all week, not sure one day a week would cut it for socialization. If not, then when they do go out into the public and do stuff like going to a water park, they get overly sick. That is what we are seeing with RSV. We just need to take our schools and country back.
Join a gym that has an active kids center. Go workout for 1-2 hours several times a week while your kid plays in the center.
Yeah there are ways to do it. I am lucky atm in that my kids school is still pretty good. No masks, no CRT. They even played a game the other day separating the boys from the girls where boys made king crowns and girls made princess crowns. And this is public school.
