The rise of homeschooling | Spectator USA

As school districts scramble to plan for the new school year during a global pandemic, many parents are taking matters into their own hands.

States around the country, from Virginia to Kansas to Texas, have reported large rates of increased interest from parents in homeschooling their kids this fall. North Carolina s homeschool application website recently crashed due to overwhelmingly high levels of submission. National and state polls show anywhere between 15 to 40 percent of families expressing a greater likelihood that they will homeschool during the COVID-19 pandemic. Interest doesn t always translate to action, but experts say large numbers of parents may consider homeschooling in the coming weeks as more and more school districts back out of plans for in-person instruction.
