Fantastic.

LLM's have revolutionized the way people learn and utilize what they have learned. The future is 8 year old material science lads doing chemistry in their step-mother's RV

More likely the future is a bunch of children not knowing jack shit and suffering other abuse.

I've had to re-learn math skills long forgotten to help my kids with their school work. It's been an interesting experience.

The expectations for home schooling are different and are, in some ways, aimed more towards reality. My son finishes the bulk of his work in an hour most days and then has time for 2 instruments, learning C++, Rust, and Python, community/church participation and more.

is "time for 2 instruments, learning C++, Rust, and Python" not schooling ?

He's still learning. Driven by what he loves. And this is on top of the "standard" stuff.
