I guess you are unfamiliar with the term "home schooling". You don't have to send your kids to school. You can teach them yourself. There are some guidelines you must follow but you do not have to send your kids to school.

But the government has decided it is in the best interest of society as a whole to have an educated populace, so kids are required to attend school for a certain period of time. Hopefully with the new administration in Washington, we will get some uniformity across the states as far as containing the pandemic until a vaccine is available.
