Yes, that is a significant hurdle. I would love to see a hybrid where kids could join public or private schools for music, theater, sports, labs and such in a group, and homeschool the academics. That would allow mom at least a part time job. Many mothers have blogs or other work from home type jobs to provide extra income, but it is tough, I imagine (I’ve been sahm since marriage)

Homeschooling communities often have day-long workshops or there are lots of activities you can have your kid be a part of. It would still be difficult to structure with a job, but it isn't like you have to be with the kids 24/7. The more people choose to homeschool, which is already going up dramatically, the more these things will be available.

That's an interesting idea. I mean, also, more work-from-home options for mothers would be feasible as well, after the reality with this COVID shit that so many jobs can easily be work from home.
