I agree, I could see where it could be a disaster....

My kids are done with school but I know I would have been a poor home school teacher for my kids but husband would have been wonderful.

I lived in an area with educated parents doing a great job homeschooling their children....

The parents are really the first and last line of defense in education. It’s that, or you get BLESSED and your kid figures out that EITHER I get an education, or I will never escape my circumstances.

For a LOT of kids, school is a safe place to be away from home. Homeschool would be a prison sentence for a lot of kids. Amazing how many HS seniors, once they turn 18, end up living either on the street or with a friend because they have been kicked LEGALLY out of their houses prior to HS graduation.

For a lot of kids, the meals they get at school are the only meals they are getting that day. In our neighborhood 42% of kids are on the free/reduced lunch program. 4 in 10.

Yet, gas is $2.00/gallon. If that isn’t price fixing, I don’t know what is.
