This is a good thing and perhaps an opportunity to provide FREE history books (true history) to home schooled children as well as books like Limbaugh's "Rush Revere" series, and the "Tuttle Twins" series.  This maybe a chance to partially reverse the liberal indoctrination of our youth.

Sparked by pandemic fallout, homeschooling surges across US

Although the pandemic disrupted family life across the U.S. since taking hold in spring 2020, some parents are grateful for one consequence: They’re now opting to homeschool their children, even as schools plan to resume in-person classes.

The specific reasons vary widely. Some families who spoke with The Associated Press have children with special educational needs; others seek a faith-based curriculum or say their local schools are flawed. The common denominator: They tried homeschooling on what they thought was a temporary basis and found it beneficial to their children.

“That’s one of the silver linings of the pandemic – I don’t think we would have chosen to homeschool otherwise,” said Danielle King of Randolph, Vermont, whose 7-year-old daughter Zoë thrived with the flexible, one-on-one instruction.

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

I agree, this probably is a very good thing for the children, especially those being intellectually abused by public schools.

This is the BEST thing... and surely, an unintended consequence.

This and working remote have been two big silver linings of the pandemic.

Hopefully, it will catch on to the point that public indoctrination centers will cease to exist.
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

My concern with working remote, is that it becomes far easier to outsource that worker to India, China, etc.

If one gets the same quality of that resource, why not?

It's called the freedom of the marketplace.
