My personal observation, having homeschooled my junior and senior year, the level of wasted time (i.e. not adding value) at public school is incredible.

While it wouldn’t work at all age levels, the program I used was incredibly flexible and really encouraged curiosity.

This isn’t to say I didn’t benefit from attending public schools. There were programs and experiences there that would be difficult to impossible to replicate.

However, overall, I’d guess that at least 50% of time in public schooling is baby sitting and crowd control.
