A lot of new home schoolers around here.
Hasan is laughable.
Bye bye money. Keep the kids home. No students no money!
Bet enrollments haven’t fallen as far.
Ghost students are a thing.
Elections aren’t the only things that need audits.
So do publik skrewl districts.
The private schools are swamped.
During the COVID shutdown, most of the private schools stayed open (at least for most of the time).
Parents discovered that the private schools are more reliable and shifted their kids to them.
This trend keeps going.
I kind of predict that the public schools will all go out of business.
We may have fully private education just by natural evolution!
bttt
All seats are taken by illegals, no place or rooms for residential students.

Then whom is going to school the masses in general? They can’t
and won’t be able to pay for private schooling. Is the USA headed
for an uneducated mass population? The illegal incoming masses
aren’t going to help either.
I get the feeling that my daughter had been thinking about this for awhile and the orientation meeting was enough to make up her mind. She’s able to coop with a couple of other families that had made a decision long ago to homeschool. The coop includes my grandson’s best friend, or as a best of a friend you can have at five years old.
It’s only kindergarten, but I hope this continues all the way through high school. I’ve been concerned about my grandson attending public school from an academic perspective, particularly this year for kindergarten since he basically already knows kindergarten level material. He reads simple books, counts, skip counts and does simple addition/subtraction. His fine motor skills are pretty well developed. I had been thinking that full day kindergarten would crush his enthusiasm in learning. Five year old boys and all day structure do not mix well. Fortunately, now that he’s going to be homeschooled in a coop, he’ll have a few short lessons in the morning and plenty of play with his friends.
When I homeschooled my daughters we rarely had lessons go into the afternoon. School was basically over before Rush came on the radio. That was throughout all the years we homeschooled. Hint: government indoctrination centers waste tons of time on herding and useless crap.
We erroneously believe the purpose of public schools is public education.
Tsk, tsk. The purpose of public education is to employ rat education majors and launder public money to keep rat pols in power. It’s a positive feedback loop that’s worked for generations.

NOT a priority for Somalians to attend school.
My dad’s uncle Seymour was known as “the truant officer.”
My son switched from govt schools to full-time online private school (homeschooling here in TX) with a Christian university starting in 9th. Govt school was not my choice, but cv19 was the last straw to convince my ex to agree with me on education. What we are doing isn’t perfect, but it is far superior to govt in every way imho. Thank you cv19.
Oh...and my son never got the cv19vx. And after 3 years of proper Christian, pro-Constitution, pro-liberty education, he’s got an ex-inlaw aunt wanting him to have a talk with his 3 Berniebot cousins...
We already have an uneducated mass population. What pct graduate HS as illiterate, humanists and socialists.
Those fancy buildings would get used for something. My suggestion is to turn them over to parent associations and let us set up education without state or federal involvement.

Nope, the poor masses will find some reasonably priced school with some vouchers or sponsors.
Lots of people think about private schools as these super expensive schools Obama’s and Clinton’s sent their children to.
In reality, most private, parochial schools are surprisingly cheap and if you cannot afford even that, they give you scholarship.
They are often subsidized by the church members and a top of it, they are extremally efficient. The education there cost lot less than the public schools, with their unions and bloated bureaucracy.
AZ just passed school vouchers law.
I am not sure that public schools will survive this law.
Everybody is trying to send their kids to private schools now.
“They are often subsidized by the church members “
I think that’s great. I have often thought there should be a line item in church budgets to subsidize members’ kids educations. It could be a school run by the church, help pay for homeschool programs using approved material, or another vetted and approved private school.
