I'm putting up with my school system's half-hearted attempts and have been supplementing my kid's learning at home. He does need the time with other kids. But I am starting to feel like I remember why I thought school was a waste of time as a kid.
Co-Op system home schooling. Each parent in a network of families takes turns. My buddy was in a coop, his dad, an engineer, was the science and math teacher one day a week.
Time with other kids could also be something like church obviously, but also martial arts, team sports, etc. School is probably one of the least valuable environments in terms of socializing.
