But thanks for the offer.

... or expanding charter schools as the demand for the alternatives to public schools ...

But arent charters tax funded and therefore public schools? Half of our public schools closed, but the 100k students moved to charter schools..

I’d like to homeschool but I don’t think I can work, homeschool, and take care of my two younger children.
