The best thing you can do, unfortunately, is teach them yourself. It is hard, but the real root of this problem is that people expect schools, and therefore the state, to not only teach their children math and history but raise them. As a result of this, people who actually want to raise their own kids get saddled with restrictive practices designed to raise your kids for you. The only way to opt out of it is to forego institutionalized education entirely, or at least if it hasn't gone quite that far yet, it will. School the institution was not a very good place when I was there. It was not actually conducive to learning, peer influences were in general negative, authority figures were often abusive or at the very least ambivalent, and a sense of silent acquiescence to any authoritative demand was ingrained to the point that it takes young people years of their early adulthood to break this and begin building their own lives how they want them. Many of my peers went into massive debt on the presupposition that authority figures know what's best and that the institutional structure will look out for them, and I believe this is the direct result of the basically authoritarian environment they were raised in. And this, all I had to deal with were grainy cameras in the halls and police writing children tickets. From what I hear from people younger than me, it is much worse now.
