According to an attorney for the largest U.S. legal organization for homeschool families, schools across the country are making it difficult for parents to withdraw their children and homeschool them, a burgeoning trend since the lockdowns instituted nationwide took effect.
T.J. Schmidt, a lawyer for the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA), told Fox News, “We see this across the country. I’ve had school officials attempt to prevent or dissuade parents from pulling their kids out.” Schmidt theorized two possible reasons for the difficulty in processing the necessary paperwork: the schools have been understaffed because of the effects of the coronavirus, or the schools are simply afraid of losing students.
Some of the funds public schools receive depend on how many students are enrolled. As The Washington Post noted in 2015, “Traditionally, public schools are funded based on their total student enrollment.”
“A RealClear Opinion Research survey shows that 40 percent of families are more likely to homeschool when lockdown restrictions lift, a significant increase from the 2.5 million parents who were educating their kids at home before stay-at-home orders were put in place,” Fox News noted.

This is a positive for the future of our country. It will decrease their indoctrination. They will learn faster and learn life skills as well.
OF course, they think they own your kid, that is why here in MD at least in SBY/Wicomico they want kids to go to school longer, meaning start earlier... For what??? they don't learn anything new, they don't even complete the current curriculum in the first place... It is so they can raise taxes to get more money, and they will say, well we have to feed them, we have electric and all of this bullshit... but who cares right, you all love more taxes so this should't be an issue!!!!
Good
Close public school down
they are nothing but Detention centers
Look around the nation and witness first hand what public schools are doing to children. They've learned nothing but left wing liberal hate, RIOTING 101
The content they shoved down the kids throats was so lacking it was atrocious. They literally rehashed the same lecture for several weeks and never covered new content the remainder of the school year.
