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.
Some parents plan to return to institutional schools, but industry predicts growth

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.
Great, now americans will be even dumber. You get out of schools what you put in.
Seems to me that if that were true, it could only benefit Democrats, since they require an ignorant voting base.
The educated voted for the Democrats. The higher your level of education, the less likely you are to vote for Donald Trump. That's why Conservatives have been dumbing down the curriculum since Reagan was in office. A lack of critical thinking skills is necessary to ensure you don't understand basic economic principles.
I've bolded the critical parts of this Report:
Ironically, despite the United States having the second-best education system globally, it consistently scores lower than many other countries in benchmarks such as math and science. According to the Business Insider report in 2018, its education ranking was 38th in math scores and 24th in science. The United States' education rankings have been falling by international standards over the past three decades, as the government has decreased education funding by 3%. Still, other countries have increased their education funding.

Just like in health care, Americans spend more on education that any other first world nation, and consistently get less and less for their education $$$$. Furthermore, American parents spend more money out of their own pockets, over and above government funding of public education, that any other nation on earth, and yet your scores keep going down, down, down.
Before you drop any of your piss poor performance at the feet of the teachers, and their unions, I would like to forcefully remind you that every other first world country has a taxpayer funded education system, and teacher unions, and we're all doing it better and cheaper than you.

Just like in health care, Americans are spending far more than the rest of the first world, and getting a vastly inferior product. And you media continues to blow smoke up your ass and tell you that your system is the BEST in the world.
