“It takes a village to raise a child…and a vineyard to home school one”

The 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic resulted in many schools closing, with students being home schooled. “It takes a village to raise a child” is an African proverb. Many home schooling parents felt like they needed to drink.

Wikipedia: It takes a village
It takes a village to raise a child is an African proverb that means that an entire community of people must interact with children for those children to experience and grow in a safe and healthy environment. The villagers look out for the children. This does not mean an entire village is responsible for raising a child or the children of a crowd.

If it takes a village to raise a child, it’s gotta take a brewery to homeschool one.
