My brother and sisiter-in-law briefly did “homeschooling” with their kids. I put the word in scare quotes because it wasn’t what people normally think of when they consider homeschooling. It was actually a private school which the kids went to four days a week and then one day a week the parents guided the kids at home through a lesson plan prepared by the school. The only point of this was that it allowed the school to hire non-accredited and non-union teachers since it was ostensibly homeschooling and not a normal school.
At least it saved the parents money, right? Ha ha nope! Still expensive as shit - like $30K per year per kid.
Homeschooling can be great if you have the time/ability but the parents do need to take it seriously and hire tutors in areas they’re less familiar with. There definitely needs to be proctored testing to make sure kids aren’t just being taught weird religious doctrine and nothing else.

Right, universal education is not a thing in USSA American Empire.
I mean it’s not free – it’s funded by property taxes in most US states.
States have different ways of adding more cash to funding; CO and WA for example put a ton of their weed tax money to roads and schools
