I went to a public school. My daughter went to public school. I was the parent who some teachers absolutely loved and others would go ‘ugh’ about. I was involved. I was there. I made sure that education took place.
I agree that the current trends seem to be that public school is the place to deal with ‘social issues’. I would be looking for a top notch private school before home schooling. I am not against home schooling for I think parents do a good job ( for the most part) of educating their children. I merely note that laboratory facilities for chemostry lab and ohysics lab and higher level mathematics classes are usually beyond the perview of most parents.
Government schools = child abuse.

Your grandkids sound great, and you can be justifiably proud of them.
They sound pretty much like my 3 public school educated kids. 2 of whom are college graduates, good citizens, good careers, parents to be. 3rd still in college, doing fine.
They’ve turned out pretty well considering the fact that their father (me) engaged in decades of child abuse, at least according to you.
