And I'm not a huge fan of public schools at all either. I'm just super frugal outside of travel and cannot justify paying property taxes and private school tuition for 3 kids now. I'm also of the mindset that all you really need is to be able to read, write/type and know math. From there it's up to the parents and the child to learn and grow, not teachers, public or private. I just don't think full time homeschooling is good for 90% of parents that try/do it.

"[P]arents' dissatisfaction with the public education system and a newfound preference for working from home could lead to a permanent increase in the popularity of homeschooling," writes Anne Dennon, who covers higher education trends, policy, and student issues for BestColleges. "Many academics who study homeschooling say the pandemic's boost to the homeschool movement will last."
Permanent growth in homeschooling is in the works, Christopher Lubienski, a professor of education policy at Indiana University, advised Education Week, "partly because people who haven't really thought about it before suddenly saw themselves forced into [home schooling], and then realizing that it's something they can see themselves doing."
