I have my 6th grader in homeschool and my 1st grader is still in traditional school but currently remote learning. Homeschool is by far the way to go. Left our youngest in school for the social aspect, but after this shitshow we are now on a waiting list for homeschooling.
Alaska. There are 3 accredited homeschool programs here and all have waiting lists of over 1000 kids. Our oldest won a lottery to get into hers. It's a confusing process, and I am sure my ignorance in fully understanding it has created some headaches for myself. I am hoping as regular school opens back up, lots of families will drop out of homeschooling and spots will open up.
Why do you need an "accredited" homeschool program for a 1st grader? Is that a requirement under state law? Really shouldn't need it at any level, but for a high schooler it might be reasonable for a parent to feel that accreditation might help with college admissions. If the state is requiring this, you might want to get involved with a homeschooling group that's lobbying state legislators to dump the requirement.

What country/state has a "waiting list" for homeschooling? I don't even understand what that means.
