How do parents not know how bad the school is? Are you not, on a daily basis asking what they learned in school and challenging them on it?
I do it whenever I have a chance with my niece and nephew. They're learning about multiplication? We're doing times tables in the car trip. History of some Native American tribe? What happened, who were their leaders, etc.
With my son it's simpler stuff - what color is this? What letter is that? Does our house have a door? And it's mainly my wife and I teaching him, but still - evaluation is critical.
During the lockdown it took my sister one to two weeks to move her kids to private schools.
I can't imagine not understanding, first intuitively, and second empirically, that online education is a poor fit for young children.
