On NPR I heard a Democratic politician ranting that Florida schools should not reopen "until every single person is tested." Interpretation: No, education is irrelevant for children and their future.

NONE of you ranting that the USA and schools should stay shut down week after month after month after month after month after month - should NEVER talk about educating children again since you all completely don't give a damn about education and have no problem destroying millions of American kids lives.
Sorry did you say home schooling has a 41% drop out rate?

Basically, yes. Students not participating in online "alternative" K-12 public education (which you seem to have transformed into "home schooling") is indeed akin to dropping out.
I honestly didn't think there would be this many stupid people during a pandemic. I didn't know that they would fight doing the smart or logical thing to protect the lives of those most vulnerable.
At this point it's either stupidity or selfishness.
Home schooling and online public school schooling are not the same. Public schools have always had the worst stats of any education for kids (home, church, private schools). Now the government is throwing public school kids away like so much trash for the sake of old people who vote.
Isn't it a 41% truancy rate?
Kids are required by law to attend class.
And they know exactly who isn't participating. Send the truant officer. Give the parents a ticket.
What's wrong with addressing truancy the way we always have?
It's been a while, but I used to post my opinion that the USA is one of the most anti-children societies to ever exist. Maybe that is an effect of children can't vote in the ME! ME! ME! American society.
Or maybe it is because most adults now live for the secular religion of the super rich - consumerism and the accumulation of possessions as the goal of life - Chinese slave labor sweatshop made possessions.

Thought the right liked home schooling, now it is bad?
It's selfishness with a lot of stupidity added in... Trump is pushing back to school again on twitter this morning and the OP is just parroting the line. This has NOTHING to do with kids other than the impact on them being home and forcing one parent in two income families from having to stay home.
Of course it would have nothing to do with the fact wealthy families who send their children to private schools have better supports for their children compared to an impoverished family that goes to public school. Nope, they are on totally equal footing. :roll:

Considering the pandemic blind-sided everyone and many poor families do not have the support systems at home that most of us enjoy, schools were not going to be fascists about attendance for the final two months of the school year. Let's get real, people.
I never said they were on equal footing. Other kids were not on equal footing with Obama's kids. No question of it.
