Homeschooling surges as parents realize how worthless public schools are

Nothing many of us didn't already know.

"I think the future for homeschooling is really bright," he said. "All the grownups have learned during the pandemic that work is something that you do, not somewhere that you go." And that has led many of them to rethink traditional schooling models as well.

Homeschooling numbers soar amid continued school closings, signaling post-pandemic resilience

Parents in the U.S. are continuing to show elevated interest in homeschooling, signaling a potential surge as the future of institutional in-person schooling throughout the country remains unclear in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.

Beginning just over a year ago, schools throughout the country began to close down for fears that schoolchildren might contribute to the spread of COVID-19. Most school districts switched to "virtual" learning models in which students studied lessons via Zoom-based instruction, with many of them required to sit in front of computer screens for long hours every day.

Interest in homeschooling shot up late last year, particularly as teachers nationwide were refusing to return to classrooms and in-person education in the winter and spring of 2021 appeared less likely.

Some schools across the country have since opened up for in-person instruction, yet homeschooling leaders across the country are reporting still-elevated homeschool activity from parents who in normal years would likely not have considered it.

Johannes Ziegler, the founder and CEO of the home instruction company Miacademy, said he "absolutely" expects interest in homeschooling to remain elevated above its earlier levels.

Homeschooling has always been an option. If more are using it, so be it. Why are you whining?

Traditional schooling methods are long out of date, heck MY daughter is doing much better when I moved her to a school that uses the running class blocks of 1 1/2 hour to 2 hours long and have just 2-3 classes at a time and stay in the same room all day.

Whining is a great and longstanding Republican past-time.

They aren't happy unless they're whining.

This is a prime example of the stupid running rampant in those who bash education. This has been done in some schools for years!

Wow, you obviously went to public school, and dropped out at the third grade.

I'm not whining at all, I think it's great that more people are understanding just how worthless our public schools have become since they were taken over by folks like you.

Hopefully you have gender studies and critics race theory in your curriculum. You would make a wonderful teacher!

Millions of other parents protested to get in-person instruction renewed because they realize that, for most students and parents,, homeschooling sucks!

Because they need schools to babysit their kids

Hard to believe rightwinger is so backwards he couldn't figure that out.

The union operatives who sit in public school classrooms (or used to, anyways) call themselves "educators", not teachers. They don't teach anything. You're a product of that system.

Yes, we are talking about certified, qualified professionals vs any idiot who can teach the Bible

Biden wants these teachers to teach white kids to hate themselves.
No way would I send my kids to school under those circumstances.

Yeah, yeah, you say that in virtually every thread that mentions home schooling, yet the data shows home schooled kids perform as well as or better than their government schooled peers. For most people, that would be enough to prevent such outbursts, but here we are.

One can tell from his spelling and grammar

What are the qualifications for a Home Skool Teecher?

Depends. Different states and counties have different requirements. You knew that though, right?

Yet somehow those students seem to get a quality education. must suck to be you.

That's fine. Also totally irrelevant.

What are the qualifications for a Home Skool Teecher?

It depends on the state, just like public schools. In your backwards, redneck of the woods, I wouldn't know. In the world where we eat with utensils and don't fuck our sisters, homeschooling parents are held to high standards. Clearly, you need some more education on it, Cletus. In the meantime, go fuck your redneck self.

What degrees are they expected to hold to Homeskool?

Depends. When my wife and did it, one of the parents was required to hold a college degree of some kind. Didn't matter though, because the curriculum we used was more remote learning, with teachers for every subject available online. The internet HAS been around for a while, you know. It's not 1955 any more.
