THIS is why people homeschool … and/or send their kids to charter, private schools
Dave Huber - Assistant Editor •November 11, 2017
Charter school enrollment has nearly tripled in the last decade and the number of families electing to homeschool has increased as well. If the educators confab in Philadelphia a week ago is any indication, it’s pretty easy to understand why.
(Enrollment in private schools, after a surge during the mid-90s tech boom, has since fallen to around 5.4 million from a 2001-02 peak of 6.3 million. Charters, homeschooling and a poor economy have contributed to the decline.)
