Souless and value neutral proposals are inadequate.
My first wife (home with the Lord since 2004) homeschooled with a GED and a determination to keep her children from the devil's influence.
We invested in a lot of ink and paper and Debbie was a school ma'rm !
She found her "group" on the net and about 8 or 10 like minded ladies shared with each other the successes and failures and got their kids through school
Debbie went home with one graduated and two with about 5 years left to go.
You've repaired your car and your refrigerator using youtube.
You've researched nuclear technology and international politics ...
All in your own home and your underwear.
THERE'S NOT A MAMA ON THE PLANET THAT IS NOT QUALIFIED TO TEACH THEIR OWN KIDS !
Look into your local schools .... THEY'RE using the internet for EVERYTHING and buying programs from programming vendors.
Although I agree with you that there is a liberal bias in public schools, I personally think that the biggest problems with education are at the college/university level. I agree entirely with Trump that universities that exhibit clear bias and suppress opposing opinions should lose their public funding (e.g. no research grants, no development grants, etc.). I would also take away their tax-free not-for-profit status and tax ALL income to their endowments.
I strongly suspect most are better qualified than the default public school teachers.
As to affordability, charter schools offer the curriculum materials for "free" (taxpayer pays), so if one can't afford private or parochial brick and mortars, there's that option, and it calls for minimal time and energy from the parents.
There are always excuses for avoiding low priorities, and the minds of their children are low priority for many parents. High priorities include the second income which goes to pay for other high priority things like the house and cars they can't otherwise afford.
It's tough enough to live beyond your means even with the government babysitting for which you trade off your children's minds. But something or someone must be sacrificed, so the kids and their future have to step up.

All the seeds for a “successful” college “experience/education” are planted before kindergarten in the public school system.
That said, you could homeschool through high school and still wind up with indoctrination at the university level.
As a disclaimer, MY kids were drugged and brainwashed.
We drug 'em to church and they had their brains washed with the word of God.
Just like me
and you via whatever "system YOU were reared in.
NONE of us had a say in what happened in our first ten years or so.
You realize insurance is the force that took doctors from trading treatment in exchange for a pig and some eggs to making exorbitant money, right?
On this planet earth the good Lord above has given you something called free will
Only through this precious gift can you make your own decisions that will increase or decrease freedom and prosperity in your life
No government is going to make any decision in your life to benefit you
When you finally come to the realization and determine that this life is about serving others rather than oneself only then will you understand
Ah. The state’s “religious” cult MUST be taught....and believed.
It used to be mostly on the university level HOWEVER these BASTARDS have discovered that they need to reach the kids earlier because if their parents are doing a great job before college it is harder to brainwash these kids!!! NOW they are starting with the teaching of propaganda in K-12 by the time they get to the university level easy peasy their minds are already mush!!!
MY comment is in regards to what they do to children that have no control over themselves.
