School as it currently exists is one of the worst things about civilization. If I had to choose between stopping global warming or ending all school (with decent alternatives) I would probably end all school.

So they gave up on having a disposable income to homeschool you. Your parents were excellent at living frugal. But not all parents have the education and ability to teach.

This right here. Not all parents are equipped to teach. Sadly, there's a seemingly large portion of the population that can barely care for themselves.

Sure but you also had family around that could homeschool you. This is absolutely impossible for some kids and again those In poorer areas or income brackets would suffer the worst. It’s a VERY privileged idea when you say end all (public) school.

She did say 'with decent alternatives' and a lot hangs on that. I'm intrigued...

"We weren't rich," says a nondisabled child of literate English speakers, having no idea of the breadth of circumstances out there, because one thing kids learn at school is how your neighbors may have completely different lives than they're used to.

TBH that isnt as important as you'd like to think and isn't unique to the school system. Kids get most of their exposure to the things you describe just from playing outside with neighbors: the bugman indoctrination camps are dehumanizing and unnecessary for socializing children.

Finances aren't really the issues. I just think some parents are genuinely awful people and their children would be better off in public school despite its flaws.
