Curious...did you think about educating your children yourself pre-pandemic? And was this the straw that broke the camel's back?

  No absolutely not. I honestly believe teaching is a capital P profesion and neither me or my wife has the training nor inclination to be full time teachers. The final straw was the school districts covid protocols for the 2021/2022 school year which made it obvious that they weren’t optimizing for student health, student learning or parent convenience. Instead it was some mix of federal guidelines, school district convenience & teachers union edict. Those things might be the most important thing for public policy but as a privileged participant I could opt out.

    What exactly would you have done differently with regard to student health, student learning, and parent convenience?

    interesting. Have there been any aspects to homeschooling that you've enjoyed or do you think you'll return to school once/if the protocols you're looking for come into place.
