From Fairbanks to Fort Lauderdale, an increasing number of parents are opting to homeschool their children. Their decision is rather simple: the public school system is, for lack of a better word, chaotic.
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the unnecessary closing of schools across the country, leaving many parents with little option but to homeschool their children.
“Two years later,” according to a report published by The Associated Press, “even after schools reopened and vaccines became widely available,” an increasing number of parents are opting “to continue directing their children’s educations themselves.” Parents have offered a number of reasons for their decision, including “health concerns, disagreement with school policies, and a desire to keep what has worked for their children.”
