I've seen plenty of anecdotal accounts from homeschooling parents where the kid ends up going to college for a math degree even though the parents are not good with math. The idea is that once they reach a certain age the kids are able to follow the curriculum and teach themselves, especially if that's what genuinely interests them. They can spend as much time as they need with the concepts and theres no shortage of tutors/resources available for anyone needing extra help. I went to public school and suffered so much in math but once my grandparents got me a tutor I went from failing Algebra to maintaining a B average. I went from being completely lost to showing up to class knowing the lessons beforehand.

That said, glad you were able to find something that works for you guys. I took mine out and we're homeschooling. No way I'm sending my 1st grader to mask jail. No fucking way. If he does go back, we'll do private as well.
