I think you're confused as to the point of school. We often believe the point of school is the academics, but I would argue it's the social. Studies indicate social skills are more important to future success than academics.

And I would also argue you need excellent social skills to reach your potential academically.

So, yes, your kids did better academically when they were at home, and that's great. But that's not the point of school.
