Home schooling’s rise from fringe to fastest-growing form of education

[BidenPresident]

Home schooling has become — by a wide margin — America’s fastest-growing form of education, as families from Upper Manhattan to Eastern Kentucky embrace a largely unregulated practice once confined to the ideological fringe, a Washington Post analysis shows.

The analysis — based on data The Post collected for thousands of school districts across the country — reveals that a dramatic rise in home schooling at the onset of the pandemic has largely sustained itself through the 2022-23 academic year, defying predictions that most families would return to schools that have dispensed with mask mandates and other covid-19 restrictions.

I would love to know the demographics of the stay at home d booking. My niece stays home to school her five children, until they reach High school. Her husband makes six figures and my brother who makes $70,000+ lives with them and contributes to the household.

Im sure homeschooling is not done by lower income families. My niece and brother are fundamentalist Christians who do not believe in education and think religion, their religion should be national and taught in schools.
