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.

“In every instance, these parents attribute the alienation of their child(ren) from their (the parents') values to the college and, increasingly, the high school their child attended.
Moreover, not only are these children alienated from their parents' values, but they are often also alienated from the parent(s). One thing you learn when you become left-wing is to have contempt for those who hold other beliefs.
Had these parents known how their children would turn out, they would never have sent them to college — or even to the high school they attended. It appears, however, that no matter how many people lose their children's hearts and minds to left-wing indoctrination, and no matter how much information accumulates about the perversion of education in American schools, parents continue to take risks with their children they would never take in any other sphere.”
