Yeah. There's an increasing number of people shifting to homeschooling so they can fit schooling to their life rather than their life to schooling.

It's just become too difficult for most people to manage effectively anymore.

We don't live the lives we did in the 50s and 60s, where everything is closed on Sunday and shops close at 8 or 9 pm every day.

When we expanded the economy and industry to 24/7, that meant that folks had to work those hours to stay employed.

Yet schools never changed to keep in line with the economy. Predominantly moms took on that burden and added stress and it's only gotten worse and more stressful since the 80s.

We just can't do it anymore. It's killing us. With schools refusing to change, and the country at large refusing to address some very real problems, we're opting out of parenting or opting out nuclear families or opting out of institutional education or whatever we have to do to preserve some sanity and not sink into the inevitable depression you experienced and described.

We have to change. The way we've been doing things is blowing up families and hurting everyone in them.
