You wrote this so well!! I would especially underscore the research/ evidence based part. 2 years ago we moved to a county with a "better" school district, supposedly the best in our state. I have only minimal knowledge of education and childhood development research from my liberal arts college days, but I was SHOCKED by what they were doing and not doing in the classrooms. Teaching techniques, discipline, and testing that I knew had been rejected by decades of research were the norm.

To answer the title of this post: who are we to refuse free schooling? We are the hardworking parents of our children who recognise what’s actually going on here, that’s who we are!! 👏 great post!
