I do, I do. I always figured if you were going to spend that much time
torturing your kids, why not just send them to school. At least there they
get breaks with their friends, library time, the occasional fun class, etc.

Yes!
And if they hate school, they get to go home at the end of the day!

If they hate home-school, where do they get to escape?

Yes, this is how I came to why unschooling works, I've taken them out of school because it doesn't work, why would I replicate that at home???

It seems like such an easy conclusion doesn't it.
