If micro-schools are unlawful currently, work to change the law. You said "so go the schools, so goes the community," and that's exactly why the Left started their highly successful "long march through the institutions" so many years ago. Keeping them as government schools simply keeps them as a fat target. No one can control thousands of parents making private decisions about education, in thousands of forms and venues. It's not just lower grades, either. I have in the past and my husband will be in the upcoming year teaching a group of high school homeschoolers in history, literature, religious doctrine and theology, and logic. When our son was in first grade, neither of us could be home full time, so I taught him on evenings and weekends and my husband did during the times he was neither in class nor teaching. The homeschooling families where I live are mostly single income (and not a very big income - it's a rural area) traditional families, who decided that their children's moral lives and educations were worth whatever it took to keep them out of government schools.
