My wife and I homeschooled our children until it became increasingly clear we needed two incomes to keep up with bills.
If you take part in the raising of your children and teach them values at home, school doesn't have to be an issue. The problem starts with parents who have kids and then expect someone else to raise and educate them.
Education in this country would be far less of a problem if parents stopped "trying to find themseleves" in their 30s and 40s and grew up. The issue starts with the collapse of the American family. If you want to have free time and hobbies dont have kids.
