It’s a cash cow for school districts because they get almost the same funding but it’s considerably cheaper to “homeschool“ a kid. Costs 13k a year to educate a brick and mortar kid in my district.


I hadn't heard of that, sounds like a plan, sounds like the future actually. Already there's courses like Health that kids can take entirely online, prob'ly that fraction will increase..

Other things like science lab facilities are problematic at home. Things like Advanced Physics and Calculus benefit enormously from face to face instruction.
