There are always better more creative options for children

Editor's note: Why create (see Origin Begins at Fertilization - Catholic Church: Reform or Leave America) children bringing them into this world only to ship them off to public schools doesn't make any sense. Appalling educational levels in America demonstrate this to be true. Public schools in America are behavior modification and control institutions churning out SNS addicted TikTok kids more than anything else. Although the Trump-Harris shit show is exactly that, a show, Trump did say in a speech he would "let the states run the schools." Don't wait for the states to take that responsibility. You are the parent. You take that responsibility and if necessary make sacrifices to make certain your children are educated and don't allow them on social media or provide them with a smart phone until after they are eight years-old. And then think seriously about providing them a smart phone even at that age. And do not make the mistake by thinking homeschooling is a Christian thing. It is not.

Opinion: How home-schooling became the biggest trend in American education

A new Washington Post report finds that home-schooling now crossing all political, demographic and geographic lines

November 1, 2023 | By Jay Evensen

I have an 8-year-old granddaughter in Virginia who is being home-schooled. Her mother didn’t know she was part of a powerful nationwide trend bubbling just beneath the surface of American culture, brought to light this week in a Washington Post report.

The most important thing to her, she told me in a text, was to be able to meet her daughter where she is, academically — adjusting lesson plans to move quickly through materials she has mastered, while spending more time on things her daughter is struggling to learn.

The local public school wasn't able to do that.

This is all new and fascinating to me. When my wife and I had school-age children, home-schooling was seen as something on the fringes of society. That stigma seems to be gone now, drop-kicked by a pandemic that led to a crisis in early learning.

The Washington Post published an in-depth district-by-district analysis nationwide (where figures were available) and concluded home-schooling is the "fastest growing form of education" in the United States.

Using reliable data from 32 states, the paper found that, in states with comparable enrollment figures, home-schooled students increased by 51% between the 2017-18 and 2022-23 school years, compared with 7% in private schools and a 4% drop in public school enrollment.

The surge crosses all demographic, geographic and political lines — it increased 373% over six years in the small Southern town of Anderson, South Carolina, and by 358% during the same time in a school district in the Bronx, near the heart of New York City. Washington, D.C., saw a 108% increase in home-schooled students over that time.

Utah wasn’t included in the report, but a separate study this year by the Age of Learning ranked Utah third in the nation among best places for home-schooling.

The Post found these figures spiked during the pandemic and have fallen a little since then, but the number of home-schoolers remains far above pre-pandemic levels.
