The kids don't really miss the academic side of school but all those social opportunities in the classroom, the games, sports, and fun of school is hard to replace. Parents fought like crazy to keep the screens in check and during the pandemic we caved because there was nothing else to do. You can only play Monopoly and go on nature walks for so long.

Such a narrow view of schooling, parenting, and life. If monopoly and nature walks are all you can think of, may e sit down and take a good hard look at your life in general and how you structure your family. Make use of every opportunity, in your home, in your yard, in your community, with like minded neighbors. We personally made use of a good 4H club, many opportunities to learn there. Use your yard to garden and raise small animals if you can.

Make the effort, it takes ti.e and sacrifice, but your family will be much better off, with many good useful skills.
