Look up Montessori schools or private schools that let you audit the curriculum.
No kids yet, but I'm hoping that by the time I have them and they're school-age, truancy won't be a thing.

Not only that, but they are not even allowed to teach anything about money. Invalidating anything they teach you since it has nothing to do with real life.

Early Morning Clay Theft (Wake & Dispatch) → “Dragging your little bricks out of bed only to hand them to someone else’s trowels feels… off.”
Misaligned Blueprints (Purposely Miseducate) → “Some schools stack the bricks upside-down, sprinkle in shaky mortar, and call it Manhattan.”
Long-Term Construction Horror (18+ Years) → “Eighteen years of scaffolding someone else built? That’s a skyline you didn’t design, filled with cracks you’ll inherit.”
Parental Foreman Dilemma (Own the Build) → “Better to hold your own trowel, shape the foundation, and watch your towers grow strong under your supervision.”

Homeschooling is one option but it is hard I guess

Why not? I've known lots of home-schooled kids that turned out alright and went on to complete several degrees.

Saw the twitter post too, I completely agree. The homesteading movement is alive and well
