Money isn’t the main issue. School serves as day care. If you don’t have your kids in school you have to sacrifice time to raise and educate them, and for many families that means one parent not working at a job, or both parents juggling work schedules. The issue is time, which is equivalent to unacceptable loss of income for a lot of families. Now that more people work from home parents have the homeschooling option. Schools closing and going to online classes accelerates that. It’s not for every family and may impose too much financial strain. My experience was that homeschooling was a luxury enjoyed by comfortable middle class professional families.
