We didn't opt out of schooling. The online school is a state program paid for with taxes like any other state school. No tuition is charged.

I'd like to clarify, I never made an argument for private schools (I don't think). I just made an argument against trapping students in mandatory public schools. I agree online state school is a massive step forwards but also giving that option recognizes that trapping kids where they don't want to be isn't a good thing. Even if it exposes them to something adults think is important, like a social environment of their peers.

I don't even remember that conversation. I just wanted to clarify that we didn't opt out of schooling because that would be terrible parenting.
