Home schooling has become America’s fastest-growing form of education

How does the OT feel about this?

Home schooling has become — by a wide margin — America’s fastest-growing form of education, a Washington Post analysis shows.
The analysis — based on data The Post collected for thousands of school districts across the country — reveals that a dramatic rise in home schooling at the onset of the pandemic has largely sustained itself through the 2022-23 academic year.
quote:
The Post was able to collect reliable data from 32 states and the District of Columbia, representing more than 60 percent of the country’s school-age population. In 18 of those states, private and public school enrollment figures were available for comparison.
In 11 states, including Texas, Michigan, Connecticut and Illinois, officials do not require notification when families decide to educate their children at home or monitor how those students are faring. Seven additional states have unreliable tallies of home-schooled kids, The Post found.

The resulting analysis — which includes home-school registration figures for nearly 7,000 individual school districts — is the most detailed look to date at growth in American home schooling.

Teachers are allowed to have guns to fight back against intruders so I feel like it’s a winning strategy.

Depending on how you view that data it also the fastest shrinking.
Looks like it has fallen 15% in 3 years.

I applaud any means of unplugging kids from the propaganda machine

that's what happens when liberalism has infected the education system so prominently and you've already forced kids to learn at home during covid.
I am surprised the numbers are that high but i suspect that number will eventually come down. I know I surely wouldn't want to home school mine.

I’m amazed that there’s THAT many women that are willing to be traditional mothers.
Makes me happy, honestly

It can be done successfully but you really need someone to act as a teacher to answer questions and keep the child on track.

Amish elementary schools are taught by high school girls. The students perform on the mandatory state tests among the top.

Our district is panicking over lost students (and associated funds) and seem shocked, after doing dumb things like canceling the Hockey Teams travel to the State Championship, Canceling the Basketball teams travel to the State tourney...closing for a year... They wonder why people may be upset.

I don’t blame them, I’d do the same if I couldn’t afford private school

The faster our current schooling model gets ruined the better. I hope more families do this and states push vouchers for school choice and private options take over.
All those parents saw how shitty the education system was during Covid and rightly believed they could do a better job

Did it shrink or just increase at a slower rate (+65% vs +51%)?

If the chart is percentage growth, which I think it is, you'd still be wrong. The rate of growth has declined over three years but it's still growing faster than the other methods.

Education, like most areas of society in today's America are ran by radical leftists. They only hope you have for your children to be raised to have common sense and be productive in their lives is to home school them.

There will be a growing number of weird kids as well.

We homeschool. Our kids were going to begin school during the covid year. We're purebloods who didn't give in to the hysteria. Couldn't have our 5 and 4 year old wearing masks all day. Plus, we would've had to do virtual a couple days a week as well. Wife decided just to try homeschool. It has been awesome. Our kids are several grades ahead in curriculum. It only takes like 2.5 hours in the mornings. You don't realize how much fluff is in a school day until you homeschool. We are a part of a very conservative homeschool community. This is our 3rd year. Also, being able to take vacations whenever we want (i.e. when every other kid is back in school) has been a huge perk!
