We live “out” here. There are home school networks that help each other with curriculum. These kids are brilliant, polite and respectful. (I recorded President Trump’s Wyoming rally so I can watch later). People could also pool their money for a great teacher’s salary and have small one room schools again.

Home/private schooling has literally exploded post covid ... one of the more important threads of the silver lining of the dark clouds of the lockdowns

Walkin in first day, not kidding was like what kinda BS is this, so not kidding.

Agree- my first day walking into middle school felt like I walked into jail!

Only agree with the 2 first sentences on this one DoQ. It´s not always easy for parents who are struggling to finde alternative solutions: it requires mental surplus and many don´t have it (multiple reasons ). I´m a nurse in a "rich " country with so many benefits (education , hospitals, doctors...for free) and still ...I meet a lot of people who are struggling. I can´t imagine right now in the US . So sad. I pray everyday for a better world for EVERYBODY .

No kidding it’s not easy.

So if something is hard you just “roll with it?”

All the things that are good, are usually really difficult to do.

Most of this is faith based.

I agree. There are single parents workig two jobs just to put food on the table. It's a ficious cycle the cabal has forced mothers to work because of inflation, medical bills, insurance, taxes, you name it. Not all have the means to do it. The system is broke and needs to be shut down and fixed!
