I do think Covid forced people to ask questions they hadn’t before.

We have sent our kids to private, poor quality and top rated schools.

We saw a stark difference between the poor quality and higher cost options. No surprise.

But the reason we are considering home schooling our younger kids was surprising. It says something about a system dedicated to teaching children when parents think they can do as well or better.

That’s just education. The social situation in schools is ludicrous. Phones, social media, etc. what a terrible environment we adults have created for kids to learn both educationally and socially.

Home schooling has answers for ALL of that.

I think it also says something about the parents who think they can do as well or better.

Well, they tend to be right. Outcomes for homeschooled children are broadly significantly better than government schooled children.

Also, just FYI, to quote someone you prefix the text with ">".
