It’s still a collectivist statist model.

Not acceptable.

I have no desire to be confrontational, but I do want your opinion on this.
For a little background, homeschooling is almost impossible here in the UK. Sure, my wife and I taught our kids after school. We do it for the grandkids now. Both of us still work full time and have all our lives, barring the 7 years when my wife had the kids and stayed home to look after them.

So what are we supposed to do with the kids during the day? Can’t take them to work (Ironically, I was a teacher for many of those years). Can’t leave them on their own. We had to move where the work was, so family were several hundred miles away. We couldn’t drop a job - her staying home was worth it but nearly sank us, and we are VERY careful with money.
It has taken nearly 20 years for us to get back to where we were before the eldest was born.

I am solidly in favor of homeschooling, the kids learn faster and understand more, but when you need both parents working to make sure the children have a meal and a roof over their heads to come home to, schools are a blessing.

So my question is, how do you fix that?
