Which was my point exactly. Some of the half-bloods, and especially the full-bloods, wouldn't go to normal muggle schools (could anyone see Draco going to a MUGGLE school?)

So homeschool is really the only option (because, seriously, these kids need a basic elementary education). Some of the more prominent wizarding families might hire tutors, and I say this because I honestly can't see either Narcissa or Lucius teaching Draco. I doubt they'd have the patience.

Makes me wonder how Molly Weasley found the time to tutor all those kids... possibly the older ones helped teach the younger ones.
