I agree. I highly recommend Alpha Omega (aom.com) for software curriculum. They offer many great products and decent customer service as well. We have used them for both our kids, and one is in college, while the other is graduating soon.

I would say that it is now a movement in many areas in the US.

Texas is now doing school vouchers, so the homeschoolers will possibly get $2k back for that. Maybe more people will elect to split from the public system. It won't help the normie problem, but it's something.

Do the vouchers come with over site on how you homeschooled and picking an approved curriculum? I am in a state that give parents 100% sovereignty to homeschooled anyway they choose with absolutely no over site or need to register or anything.... But most parents opt for the vouchers that come with enrolling in a district and meeting particular requirements. Homeschooling independent from the system has become so rare and radical that I'm afraid they will take the option away once someone remembers its there. In the 80s and 90s all homeschoolers were independent from the system and now almost none.

the state schooling system cost me getting a CS degree, and sent me right off the track, because they were so outrageously, egregiously corrupt. and they funnel people into this meat grinder. it's not for nothing that Pink Floyd analogises school system to a sausage factory.
