Id rather find a good teacher and,directly pay them to teach a group of neighborhood kids. Split the costs between the parents and take donations, do fundraisers, etc.
Home School co-ops are a real thing that needs more promotion. It also quells the concerns of "socialization". Might even build a stronger, more local community.
Years ago when I made the mistake of putting my kid in the K-12 program ,there was a group that was breaking off to form their own co-op and surprisingly it was not all white. Only reason I turned it down though was because I met some of these people before at other k-12 meetings and they bragged about how they cheated. So nope.
The socialization is actually backwards, homeschoolers have better socialization skills across a broader spectrum of ages instead of limited to their own age groups.

You know they're gonna start bitching when it turns out that most co-ops are 100% white

I didn't know this was a thing. Sounds amazing.

My socialization comment wasn't directed at you, more towards those that believe the opposite of your statement.

I was only adding to your comment. :)

I'm aware, I was doing the same, well more of a clarification. Good show.
