Public schools are overbuilt and oversold. Eventually, some school districts are going to view turning over their surplus buildings to home school or other alternative organizations as a viable alternative to abandoning them. That is, if they don't drive out all the young families in the area first.

Already, I know home school families who are organized enough to trade areas of expertise-- one mother teaches math, another science, another history, etc. But mostly, they teach small groups of various ages who are blood relatives.

My sister-in-law's daughters were such beneficiaries. Their oldest is now on track to graduate with a four year degree in two and a half years. Try that with your average public school.

If this trend continues, we could eventually see the revival of a model which served our country well for nearly two centuries:

V-man, we have the same kind of organization with our homeschool, except we trade expertise with other homeshooling families (this is popular here in NC). For example, my wife, who was a biological research scientist B.C. (before children), teaches science and math to several homeschoolers in our group.
