This. Public school has to be catered to the bell curve. How much of that bell curve is covered depends on the budget of the school and how flat the bell curve is based on other factors. Because of this, much of school is repetitious, boring and unnecessary. Classroom management amounts to "babysitting" according to my teacher friend.

Homeschool kids can learn in 30/min per day what public school kids take all day to learn. Then they have more time to play or develop healthy interests.

Yes, the lack "kid-tracking" creates more room for abuse and brainwashing. That problem can be answered in ways that don't require kids to sit in a windowless room for 6 hours a day.
