> 4 of the 5 send their kids to private schools. I think that says a lot, given that they aren't paid well and choose to sacrifice and pay the tuition. […] it's a completely miserable experience that was worsened by COVID and remote learning. Some parents around me simply decided to go ahead with a learning pod [0] during the pandemic. They hired a tutor (burned out local teacher really) and it’s been night and day. They are considering doing it again next year. Last I heard, they wanted to structure it as a non-profit so they could at least get a tax break on their contribution to it (really makes no sense to use post-tax dollars for this). At least now, I guess they won’t be double paying for initiatives like this [1] or curriculum where math is considered racist [2].
