My neice was "homeschooled" At the time at least, oversight was more of a word than an actual thing. she, luckily was self motivated enough to actually do the work. My kids arent that motivated, and im not a good technical instructor of children. There are a few programs people have recommended, that they use, but some are too inexpensive to trust, some are too religious, etc. Im tempted with my boy to just have him drop out, adjudicate him so he can get his GED and go to trade school or community college now.
I have two inbound kids in the next few years, but I think the plague politics will be gone by the time they get there, but then again, theyll be hitting school entry during the next election, so i cant hold my breath. google search is an ad nightmare. My older daughter has some intervention courses she participates in, so I need to be mindful of that, but I personally think the intervention was required because of the cookie cutter approach in public school. We have two private schools here, but theyre under the thumb of the plague politics as well, so theres no gain in that.
