My brother and sisiter-in-law briefly did “homeschooling” with their kids. I put the word in scare quotes because it wasn’t what people normally think of when they consider homeschooling. It was actually a private school which the kids went to four days a week and then one day a week the parents guided the kids at home through a lesson plan prepared by the school. The only point of this was that it allowed the school to hire non-accredited and non-union teachers since it was ostensibly homeschooling and not a normal school.
At least it saved the parents money, right? Ha ha nope! Still expensive as shit - like $30K per year per kid.

Right, universal education is not a thing in
USSAAmerican Empire.huh? public school is free
I mean it’s not free – it’s funded by property taxes in most US states.
States have different ways of adding more cash to funding; CO and WA for example put a ton of their weed tax money to roads and schools
Free as in freedom. But underfunded.
And underfunded
