The number of homeschoolers is about 6%. Private schools about 9 and another in charter schools or magnets is another 6%. That’s just over 20% of students in ho chose something other than their local public schools. There are 20 states looking into some type of school choice.
As more kids leave public schools, the public schools will get worse because the more involved parents with the better behaved kids will take the options. Unless the government goes full totalitarian, which is entirely possible, the schools will collapse. Add the number of teachers quitting, colleges closing education programs due to low enrollment, and it will get worse, causing more parents to bail.
It may take decades. I am more interested in a quicker solution, but I suppose withering on the vine may be all we have.
The problem isn’t just your kids’ education, it’s all the dummies being “educated” in the public schools that will wind up being in a position to decide your kids’ fate down the road.
