And they still won’t get as good of results as home educators who spend 2-3 hours a day.
They will get a much better result from their perspective. It is the equivalent of the govt saying they will handle the indoctrination of your child and will send them home to sleep. It’s a nightmarish scenario.
Public schools suck.

Truth be told.
2-3 hours a day.
Please....homeschoolers hardly go to school at all. Our neighbors have their kids sleep in so they can hang out watching tv. In the afternoon they get a babysitter so that they can go do whatever they want to do. They do make homeschool fun that is for sure at least for the parents. The parents work at night so they are happy not to have to get the kids up for school in the morning and take them to the bus stop. It is a nice life that is for sure.
Only if you have a conventional definition of education. Something like, "the act or process of imparting or acquiring general knowledge, developing the powers of reasoning and judgment, and generally of preparing oneself or others intellectually for mature life".
Most people have a similar definition in mind, but it is most definitely not what the educrats in the ruling class mean when they craft public education policy.
When the ruling class say education, they mean indoctrination in political correctness and socialization to submit to the State and other ruling class authority as well as minimal impartation of knowledge and reasoning skills. That requires the impartation of false knowledge, the diminution of natural faculties of reason and judgment, and the infantilization of the ruled class. Pretty much the opposite of what most people mean by education. It is difficult to accomplish the sort of education that the ruling class desires. That's why they need more resources, including children's time, to achieve their objectives.
Government exists to advance the interests of the ruling class. Its schools train children to think and behave in the interests of the ruling class. It has been naive to think otherwise.
For an superb elucidation on why this is true, see Angelo Codevilla's article, America's Ruling Class in the August 2010 American Spectator.
I was just thinking the same thing when I read the headline. I am always amazed at what good results people who homeschool their children get for very little hours put in.
