I am very glad to hear this. Coming from a family of retired educators, no one should enroll their children in public school these days. It IS the only way to save the next generation.
I am too.
So is my wife. Now she teaches at a home school co-op. They had a waiting list this year, had to turn kids away. Doubling capacity next year.
The only way to save the next generation.
We love it too. Our kids will never see public education; although we shouldn’t have to, we need to make sure the government doesn’t make laws that make it more difficult or impossible to homeschool. They didn’t think the whole lockdown thing through very well because we likely would have continued bitching about government school, but never actually taken this step. Now we’ll never go back.
I taught in public schools for 41 years. None of my children were ever in such a classroom.
Now, take tax dollars away if homeschooling and return them to the parents.
The best part is the impetus to homeschool supplied by the overreach of the commies who ruined public education.
The concept of public education was first proposed by Karl Marx in the Communist Manifesto. The idea was to get schooling away from the church, both Catholic and Protestant, who provided most of the education at that time.
Nope, we outdated him by many years. Manifesto written in 1848. Prussia already had public schools and Horace Mann, the leading light in public schools as we know them now, went to Prussia in 1843 to study them. This is probably where Marx got some ideas. However, they started as religious schools in Massachusetts in 1647.

The Massachusetts schools were created under the “Old Deleder” law and was supervised by the local church, although the people paid for it through a required “tithe”.
My wife and I decided to homeschool our children last fall, the best decision we ever made regarding their education. I wish we would have done it sooner. They are now raising chicks for 4h and living the human experience as it is intended. I pray more people bring their children home.
