Middle school and up are the most crucial years, and even if people could work it out with other families where parents stay home one day each week to oversee the learning, it is doable.

Working together with some other families is so helpful. Gives the kids time with other kids, gives each mom some time to herself, and it brings a certain synergy to the whole undertaking.

Agree.

And, now that people have had their kids at home, for much of the past school year, they can see how co-ops/tag teaming to teach, could possible work out.

I used to think a Grammy Brigade would also be helpful. Trusted grandmothers (and Grandpas :) teaching REAL history, math, economics, life skills classes, etc. And, retired folks getting to give back, and share their expertise.

Homeschooling is an excellent idea. Good to hear.
