Nearly 2 Million Kids Left Public Schools From 2020 to 2021

Federalist- Covid lockdowns and restrictions, coupled with a newfound awareness by parents of woke indoctrination in many public schools, have families embracing private educational options.

Would you believe that American families want their school-age children spending time in an actual school? As enrollment data continue to trickle in, evidence continues to mount that families have abandoned public schools in large numbers, for the second academic year running.

Whatโ€™s more, Covid lockdowns and restrictions, coupled with a newfound awareness by parents of woke indoctrination in many public schools, have families embracing private educational options.

Public School Enrollment Downโ€”Again

Last June, the federal Department of Education released preliminary enrollment data for the 2020-21 school year. That initial report showed a drop in public school enrollment of 3.8 percent over the previous school year of 2019-20. Since there were approximately 51.1 million children attending public schools in 2019-20, thatโ€™s an enrollment loss of nearly 2 million in just that one school year. read more

    > those desks are needed anyway for all the illegal alien invaders they have let in the country

    You’re gonna’ need a bigger desk.

  2. I sent both my kids to private school.
    Even though the last 2 years were not Ideal, they continued to learn while the public schools went through the motions.

    It came at a price.

    My wife has not had a new car since 1999. We buy used.
    No out of country vacations to see the Mouse. EVER.

    My 20 year old daughter is in her 3rd year of University AND also working In her Future Field out of Town.

    My 17 year old son, Is also on his way similarly.

    TOTALLY WORTH IT!

  4. “Our schools,” i.e., schools built by parents, later approved and then politically regulated by government jurisdictions, DIDN’T. START. OUT. THIS. WAY. They weren’t politically-controlled “government schools.”

    We need to start over with the legality and control of “public schools” – or trash them, one or the other.

    (I’ve been think this since high school – and I’m 71.)
