A new report from the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools shows what a great advertisement American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President Randi Weingarten and her more radical members provided for school choice. After more than a year of school closures, Zoom classes, and battles over critical race theory, parents are increasingly taking their children out of public schools. The study looked at enrollment shifts between the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 school years.
Their analysis shows that 1.45 million children left traditional public schools. Charter schools gained 237,000 students in the same period. The difference is made up by families choosing private schools or homeschooling
Anyone who wishes to not raise a woke communist moron needs to do this now.

Near the top of the list of the best things you can do for your kids & grandkids - get them OUT of government schools.

Putting your kids in public school is child abuse.

It's happening like crazy here in PA. I would like to see the public school system crumble.

You want to speed it up? Revoke all truancy laws and refund property taxes. Wind and solar farms are not for the environment anymore. It’s a revenue scheme for public schools. It’s madness.

Parents got to see up close what their kids were being taught when everyone had to stay home during the Covid lockdown.

....in a sane world, School Vouchers would be available by law !!
...BUT...the dems and their indoctrinators ( union teacher-bots) will fight this to the death...because they KNOW it will doom their educational scam IF people are allowed a choice.

It’s a start, but millions of kids are still left to be indoctrinated and uneducated.

For the record, even the most hal-fassed parent is a better home school teacher than the Red Diaper Doper Baby churned out by the affirmative action colleges of education in existence today. Unfortunately, there ARE parents who claim to be home schooling who turn on Miss Nancy's Romper Room type shows and plug the kid in for a couple of hours. Real home schoolers know it is hard word and you have to stay at it. Furthermore, you will still be paying taxes for the hal-fassed public schools, but you can snicker to yourself while you do it. (If both parents are involved, so much the better.)

On the bright side when school rooms are emptied by the parents rejecting the indoctrination of their children the obese, tattooed, white women union teachers are free to go march with BLM and riot. It's what they did when schools closed due to the pandemic in 2020.

It's time for people to form a coop or coalition of parents to educate the children in their community. Churches also need to become proactive. It's time to cut the umbilical cord with the federal government and the schoolteachers union. Do whatever it takes. Be flexible, get creative and try to help others along and always be teaching the children.

Public schools are indoctrination centers focusing on communist, black, and queer curriculums. They have very little to do with education that would prepare your children to hold a job. Leaving your children in public school should be considered a form of child abuse.

Time for public school taxes and levy’s to be lowered. They don’t need as much of our capital if 20% or more of the students are no longer there.

I wouldn't even trust school vouchers...follow the money...and pay your child's tuition each semester...and keep close accounting of how the money is spent and what is being taught...I recall many/many years ago when the government came to my son's private school and offered free milk from the government...in other words their foot in the door...WE declined their offer and held a
Christmas bazaar and raised enough money to cover all the milk money WE needed....WE knew if the government got their foot in the door WE were screwed...pardon my vernacular...

Suggest they all form a Class Action Lawsuit in EVERY State to get their money back to pay for the new schooling!

Public schools are not education centers any more, they are propaganda institutions. The "pandemic" awakened parents to what was actually going on in their schools, one of the best results from the "pandemic".

In Fort Morgan, Colorado my niece took both her kids out of FM's schools because the schools have been overrun with Somali refugees and English is taught as a second language. She must drive them to school about 20 miles north where education is just that - education.

All the Biden Haitians, Guatemalan, Honduran, Salvadorans, Colombian, and Afghans refugees are coming to a public school near you. Bring back President Trump.

The radical lefties dictate whatever the leftist unions direct and destruction of the USA's formerly exemplary Public School System is the natural result. The past decades of the combination of dem/socialist union control AND the establishment of the Dept. of Education have proved disastrous for America's children and indeed, the future of liberty in America. Such, 'central planning,' must return to local control where parents actually help determine their own childrens' education, NOT politician's with a destructive political agenda.

We are working to bring School Choice to Oregon so that all Oregon families will have equal access to education dollars allowing parents to customize the education that best fits the needs of their child. We believe every Oregon child deserves an equal opportunity to receive a quality education and that no longer should a family’s zip code or income level be a barrier to what education their children receive. We believe allowing Oregon families the right to choose among various schools and educational programs will provide fairness to all the children. Wish us luck and send prayers!

Teachers have been bellyaching for small size classrooms for years. Now they have it.

Not a surprise. Public indoctrination centers are going to find out that the scam-demic is the worst thing to ever happen to them, but NOT for the reasons they think!!
