In the first week (April 23-May 5) of Phase 1 of the Household Pulse Survey, about 5.4% of U.S. households with school-aged children reported homeschooling .
By fall, 11.1% of households with school-age children reported homeschooling (Sept. 30-Oct. 12). A clarification was added to the school enrollment question to make sure households were reporting true homeschooling rather than virtual learning through a public or private school.
PIERS MORGAN: President Biden's attempt to criminalize complaining parents is a shameful attempt to silence dissent that's more worthy of North Korea than the supposed land of the free

Private schools aren’t really that affordable. And even if they are… that’s like $10k a year being taken out of a families spending for vacations, retirement savings, and a load of other economic activity.
Facing Forced COVID Shots, Students Are Withdrawing From College

Unless you send your kid to a Catholic school…
Unless you send your kid to a Catholic school… which comes with its own set of self-loathing religious related problems and irrational fear of hell bullshit.
Catholic school is a great place to send a kid who is a discipline problem in public school.

I have evidence that your theory is true. My youngest goes to private school and this year has this Indian teacher who wasn’t doing a good job at all. We complained, got others in her class to have their parents complain, and now she is on serious notice. Things are better, but we can stop paying any time we want and send our daughter to public school. So the school is highly motivated to ensure that their teachers don’t fuck around and do a good job.
Pennsylvania’s 14 state-owned universities lost another 5,000-plus students this fall, dropping total head count enrollment below 89,000 — a level not seen in three-plus decades, dating nearly to the system’s founding — according to just released data Monday.
The 5.4% downturn and anticipated loss of more than $36 million in tuition revenue is likely to further complicate efforts to redesign the State System of Higher Education and merge six of its universities — California, Clarion and Edinboro in the west, plus Bloomsburg, Lock Haven and Mansfield in the northeast — into two institutions.
Omaha seems to be one of the best for low cost of living/decent wages

True, but very high real estate taxes, plus a state income tax. Still beats California, though. Omaha does have pretty good night life, for all ages and genres. Opera, "Bagels and Bach" in a major park, Shakespeare on the Green, horse races, nearby casinos, museums, a good zoo, good AAA Pro baseball, outdoor dining with trendy local band, lots of ethnic eateries, dance halls for everyone from the young and hip to the granny grab polka places, and an easy airport to fly out of. Nothing if you like to sail, motorboat, or kayak though.
I’m guessing a $150k home in Omaha doesn’t carry a high tax bill, regardless of high property tax rates.
This $300k home in Omaha has a yearly real estate tax of $4300. Taxes do not include trash service, and school district taxes can be added.

Yes it's likely to help! (keeping kids home)
Schools get paid around $25 per student per day. If they are missing by an unexcused absence, the school loses that money per student per day. It makes a HUGE difference because it hurts them where they can least tolerate it.
Cheers!
At Tuesday’s meeting, 120 Loudoun residents signed up to speak in-person. An additional 13 did so virtually. Residents were allowed just one minute of speaking time. Several speakers referenced the fact that most of them had to wait outside in the cold weather — Dominion Energy reported thousands of homes lost power due to heavy winds in the DC area — because of the speaking restrictions and accused the school board of trying to discourage them from showing up to speak.
The vast majority blasted the school board over its alleged cover up of a sexual assault in order to advance a transgender bathroom policy, vaccine mandates for student athletes and the teaching of critical race theory in classrooms. Many parents came armed with signs featuring an email sent by Superintendent Scott Ziegler indicating that he had knowledge of a sexual assault by a gender-fluid student in a girl’s bathroom, despite claiming in a board meeting over the summer that he had no record of assaults on file.
“You’re all busted for lying and orchestrating a cover-up,” one female parent said early on in the public comment portion of the meeting. “You’re digging yourselves deeper and deeper with each day that goes by. Do the taxpayers and families of Loudoun a favor and resign today.”
