I don't know how to say this It's not a radical position to homeschool your children The idea that public school is *must be the* solution is as far as I can tell a new, like, hyper-liberal position that is just incoherent when facing the reality of the pandemic...

I think you're misunderstanding or misrepresenting the argument. I haven't seen meaningful examples of liberals "against homeschool." I do see many liberals being against "the rich will have home school and private tutors while the poor suffer/die in schools we refuse to fix."

with the level of castigation that i’ve seen it’s hard not to take it as being against. would be less negative if the question was “” how do we use this to help more or all children”, the prevailing attitude is *only the public system will/should work* which seems very hard

I don't think most people can conceive of a way homeschooling is going "to help all children." If you have an answer to that question I'd be happy to hear it, but it seems too far removed from the actual problem to be raised in a serious way.

homeschooling lessons seem pretty relevant to a zoom based classroom

I can see why these people are castigating you. There are parents who need to work, and who can't feed their kids. Suggesting they homeschool is "let them eat cake." It's "move to the summer home." They're probably thinking "eat the rich."

then a reasonable critique of them is: do you not understand how fucked the situation is? it will not be tolerable. we will need to innovate out of the gaps of school over zoom. ever novel educational effort, therefore, deserves good consideration jason is not queen of france
