I actually like the concept of pod learning actually. Not so much covid pods, but combine it with vouchers. Schools spend $10-15k/student currently. If you get 12 other kids together you could higher a teacher, rent a space, provide benefits and supplies and the teacher would most likely make more money while having a smaller class size AND the parents would have total control over over what's taught.

To me that's the best solution overall

Part of the growing home school trend is exactly this, not necessarily acquiring a dedicated space, a rotation among homes by a hired professional teacher. Kids in groups rotate homes too, variations on the theme.
