The Death Cult anti-evangelists that infest the indoctrination centers once known as public schools are voicing dismay at the rising number of children escaping their clutches.
The coronavirus pandemic ushered in what may be the most rapid rise in homeschooling the U.S. has ever seen. Two years later, even after schools reopened and vaccines became widely available, many parents have chosen to continue directing their children’s educations themselves.
Odds are, two years of home schooling made those parents realize “Holy cow! Teaching my own kids takes like two hours a day and is more or less free. Plus they’re not learning to hate me and chop off their body parts!”
Homeschooling numbers this year dipped from last year’s all-time high, but are still significantly above pre-pandemic levels, according to data obtained and analyzed by The Associated Press.
Those are rookie numbers. We need to bump up those numbers.
Families that may have turned to homeschooling as an alternative to hastily assembled remote learning plans have stuck with it — reasons include health concerns, disagreement with school policies and a desire to keep what has worked for their children.
Maybe they also balk at sending their kids to government schools where they’re taught to kill themselves.
The only difference between public school and home school curricula is home schooled kids aren’t taught to hate, mutilate, and kill themselves.
Unless their parents decide to teach them those things.
In which case, every sane person would agree those parents belong in prison.
Which leads to the inescapable logical conclusion that all parents who still refuse to home school should be imprisoned for child endangerment.
But there are more benefits to home schooling besides having kids who aren’t suicidal and avoiding prison.
The number of small schools … is growing in many American cities as public school enrollment declines. More than one in five New York City elementary schools had fewer than 300 students last school year. In Los Angeles, that figure was over one in four. In Chicago it has grown to nearly one in three, and in Boston it’s approaching one in two, according to a Chalkbeat/AP analysis.
Most of these schools were not originally designed to be small, and educators worry the coming years will bring tighter budgets even as schools are still recovering from the pandemic’s disruption.
The next time some doomer whines that the Death Cultists are invincible geniuses who’re always infinite moves ahead of us dirt grovelers, show him how the Cult’s own ritual purity laws are decimating the state-run seminaries they need to reproduce.
Manley Career Academy High School on Chicago’s West Side illustrates the paradox. It now serves 65 students, and the cost per student has shot up to $40,000, even though schools like Manley offer few elective courses, sports and extracurricular activities.
“We’re spending $40,000 per pupil just to offer the bare minimum,” said Hal Woods of the advocacy group Kids First Chicago, which has studied declining enrollment in the district. “It’s not really a $40,000-per-pupil student experience.”
Long story short: Each kid taken out of public school costs the system around $20,000. That makes home schooling one of the most high-impact ways to oppose institutions that hate you.
