Virtually none of my students (high school graduates all) have any competency in even simple grade-school mathematics.

My wife and I are planning to homeschool are children (currently toddlers).

What would happen if, say, The University of Phoenix Online, were to adopt a "graduate assistant" approach to online teaching at the High School level? U.Phoenix could recruit crackerjack Asian students to enter its online curriculum tuition-free and with a subsistence stipend just like graduate assistants at the college level. The stipend and the costs of each such "undergraduate assistant" could be defrayed by that assistant's support of a "Prep School of Phoenix Online" program--marketed to American parents who, like you, demand more of school than Political Correctness.

Seems to me such a system could arouse and meet eager wants on both the supply and the demand side . . .

You can currently get a high school diploma from Texas Tech or the University of Texas. Excellent opportunities are out there.
