Parents Withdrawing Students From Texas Public Schools To Home-school Increases 400 Percenthttps://thefederalist.com/2020/09/09/parents-withdrawing-students-from-texas-public-schools-to-home-school-increases-400-percent/The Texas Home School Coalition (THSC), which processes requests for families pulling their children out of public schools, reported a 400 percent increase in withdrawals for August leading into the 2020-2021 school year, compared to August of 2019.
The August numbers follow a record-setting month in July where their online process saw a 1,500 percent jump from July last year.
The spike, the group reported, stems directly from the Texas Education Agency’s (TEA) pandemic schooling guidelines sparking a mass exodus from the public school system as parents opt to teach their children at home over enrolling them in a digitized, remote state-run classroom.
5X the previous year! I need a roller skate for my chin!
