[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of people are trying to get into private school so they can be in person at least a few days a week. I see lots of posts alerting people to what private schools are still open and enrolling more students. However, that obviously increases your household's risk of Covid.

Why don't more people hire tutors? We thought about private school but then we realized that if our kids get settled there, we're not going to want to pull them out next year and put them back in public.[b] So in the long run, it's a lot cheaper to hire a tutor for however many hours (even if you're doing 5-6 hours a day to try to replicate the school day) than doing private x grade level-12[/b]. It's also not really fair to the school community to do that - take advantage of them for one year.

I can image that if I were a parent seeking out small class sizes (under 12-15) and willing to pay dearly for that, I'd be pretty annoyed at all these Johnny-Come-Latleys increasing the class sizes. I was talking to a friend who works at a "top" area private school who told me that class size has edged up over 20 with all the new students. I bet those parents who started in kindergarten are ticked![/quote]
I don't understand how you envision this setup. Pull the kid out of school to homeschool and have tutors come to your house in succession during the day? One after another, day after day? 
This just isn't going to work, logistically, for older kids.
