Underrated viewpoint. Public schools are the only option for most people. Most people don’t have the financial ability to spend their time teaching their kids when they’re already working as much as they can to make ends meet. Heck, for a h

You’re missing the point. This is not a technical problem in the first place, as the poster I replied to did a great job explaining.
