Most parents are too lazy to provide for their own childrens' education.
How about this instead: responsible parents take your kids out of public schools, but run for school boards anyway. Platform: "the public schools in this district are so horrible, I can't send my kids there. I want to fix it so I would feel comfortable to send my kids to the schools that my taxes pay for"
You are very lucky That home school is legal. I’m not connected to our local school board. Don’t hear any conplaints. It seems that our local schools, as well as those across the river in Ohio, are pretty conservative. Both small towns, so folks are pretty much of a like mind.
My last child was an exceptional child who traveled with us all over the U.S. Verbally & experienced he was way ahead of his peers. He was bored to tears and spent more time in the hall than in the class room. He was so in need of hone school because I was teaching him anyway. It’s a miracle he survived and managed to go as far as college. Point is, homeschool was verboten. We put him in every kind of school we could find and none of them could deal with a child prodigy who was playing violin at 3 years old. His music kept him sane.
