Dude wtf. I didn’t know this shit was in FL. Every passing day I think more and more about home schooling. I know ? my children will at least go to a private school 6-12, but thinking it’d more beneficial to home school vs cost!
Private tutors & private schools are drastically cheaper in many countries. In some countries, the quality can be superior. International experiences are a win on their own. Your income taxes can be almost eliminated by relocating abroad. Cost of living is cheaper in many locales. If you're insistent on staying in FL, many of the private tutors abroad can be accessible online. There are exchange programs you could send the kids off to for shorter periods if you don't want to move that will have similar benefits. Alternative living arrangements can also free up resources for education. Live on a boat. Or live on a property without plumbing. Plumbing is one of the most expensive things you can own. Do you realize how much money you are spending on a toilet and shower? Just connecting a home to city water jacks your property value through the roof (and therefore mortgage and tax payments). You could send a kid to private school for the cost of your plumbing.
There are many options for getting out of public ed. Creative thinking required.
Homeschool is fantastic. Not only can you tailor to each child, they learn so much better and faster. In math if they don't understand something.. you don't have to move on and rather wait until they do. In schools if you don't understand they move on. 1 hour in homeschool math is like 5 hours at school AND that's including private schools. They waste time too. Imagine how much time to line the students up to go to the library.. walk there.. walk back..etc. Private schools have their own agendas.. a bully they won't kick out because they lose money... oh your kid is smart.. but what about the other kids.. it's not fair. BLAH! ALSO if your kid wants to learn WW2 (which is hardly even studied in online schools/public/private schools) then you can have him/her learn it all they want. That's what they call unschooling which is really just learning what you want. but make sure the basic subjects are covered. My friend's son learned algebra by coding computers and real life application for it.

Step one before all this talk: Pull out your kids from the Roman shackles of govt school before they become Romans.
Its not quite as complicated as traveling abroad and hiring private tutors.
Homeschooling is inexpensive in the US and there are so many free resources including you tube tutorials and Khan academy.
The challenge is not finances, its having the will and strength to follow through.
