So. We all see just how bad government run schools are. We can see from the online classes just how evil many teachers act when they think they can get away with it. And we know it only accelerates from here.

But the wages of Americans have been depressed by bad immigration policies and regulatory burdens for decades. Most homes are two income, stay at home parents are rare.

So how can parents engage in homeschooling with that sort of problem?

My first thought for people in burbs or cities immediately goes to a localized community of homeschooling parents. Each child in the group will have their parent once or twice a week, each parent could further specialize. It isn't one on one instruction but class sizes would still be smaller and more focused than at the public cattle call.

By having a parent only take 1 or 2 days a week off work you can maintain a job, assuming they are willing to be flexible, and most are. This gets rid of one of the bigger burdens on parents considering this sort of thing.

These mini communities could work together to form a de centralized teaching alternative that is accessible to more people than the ones lucky enough to be able to afford it

That's my thought anyway.

There are homeschooling communities that actually do that in varying ways. Depends on your states rules. Often if a parent has a degree in something that allows for higher learning, say chemistry or calculus.

Isn't that what those "learning pods" are basically?
