All you have going for you is momentum and that is changing rapidly. States are passing real school choice all the time. Real school choice means the money goes with the student no matter where the student goes. Home schooling is spreading like wildfire. Your schools are failing and they will die once enough people have escaped them. Your approval or disapproval is irrelevant, you've already lost.

Most people are ill equipped by intelligence, education, demeanor,and available time and to substitute for an entire building full of teachers. Schooling doesn't have to take place in the home but most parents are unsuited to the task by themselves.

The number of people home schooling went up during the pandemic but it is a single digit percentage not spreading like "wildfire". I expect home schooling to be sufficient for only a minority while a larger portion might well benefit from a partially or wholly online experience.

We are not allies. We do not share a common culture or morality. Your arguments are irrelevant. The schools are being destroyed right before your eyes and you are powerless to stop it.
