Homeschooling is not an experiment, government run schools are and it’s failing

Homeschooling worked 100+ years ago for two reasons (or depending how you look at it, two of the biggest problems, rather): we had a sound money system and women were not in the workplace, but at home, educating and raising children as God intended. I also read something about how "public" school teachers at the turn of the 20th century started off primarily as men....not women like you might expect.
What better way to start the subversion of the education world, than to remove men from teaching and other professions (and by extension, turn God's natural order upside down), by manufacturing two World Wars and mass death and destruction on a scale never before seen....
Now, people can barely make ends meet with two household incomes, so govt run education (and expensive daycare) is the only option for 90% of people.
My sons both went to Catholic schools (K-12) but for high school they went to an all boys Catholic school with 95% male teachers. There was a definitely a difference. My sons had a different kind of respect for the male teachers as a posed to the female teachers. Probably because, once being boys themselves, the teachers could relate to the boys better. Not sure, but it worked.
Growing up, I had probably half male/half female K-12, and I'm trying to recall, but I think my most favorite/memorable teachers were male. It wasn't until high school where I actually got a mix of male/female.
Either way, I love the concept of homeschooling and I have faith we'll soon return to that model. My church does church/private school but it's very expensive and 65% of the rest home school.
Sending our kids to private school was definitely a sacrifice. I don’t think we’d be able to do it in this economy.
I feel for those that want to because they know public school is terrible, but can't afford the time or expense. Soon enough, all that will be changing....
