>I learned it the first time 20+ years ago, I have no doubt that I could relearn it - especially with the help - but everyone chooses how to optimize their time? Is my time spent better learning trig or doing something that can make me more money so I can cash flow his way through college?
We're talking about a pandemic where some degree of homeschooling has become mandatory. I'm just pointing out that the difficulty is minimal when it's a question of educating your kids. Our specializations are irrelevant.
The rest, which is a different subject, just boils down to our difference preferences - I prefer to spend my spare time practicing practical skills and I think society would be far better off if other people did too. Even fixing cars gives your mind a technical workout that translates to other domains.

Or I could spend the time improving in the technical domain directly by bringing my laptop to the service department instead of fixing a car where they have people who can do it faster with better equipment and somehow hope that it will make me a better developer, team lead, overpriced consultant or whatever rabbit I’m chasing at the time. I’m sure the farmer would also look in disdain because you don’t grow your own food and instead go the grocery store.
