Trends The Media Doesn't Cover Enough #5: Homeschooling

The biggest trends shaping our world that the media never wants to talk about: #5, the lost lockdown generation, and the rise of homeschooling. In 1971, there were only 78,000 kids in America who were homeschooled. Last year, that number jumped up to 5 million- 5 million kids.

Of course, a big reason for the recent rise has been the school closures, which were pushed by the teacher unions in our country. Even before 2020, millions of parents across the nation were angry that their kids were falling behind and recording much lower test scores than the children in just about every other wealthy country in the world and a few of the poor ones too.

Instead of learning math, science, history, or, God forbid, being exposed to a little bit of financial literacy, millions of American kids in almost every single state have been indoctrinated with radical gender ideologies and woke racial politics.

But things reached a breaking point in 2020 when the corrupt teacher unions forced schools to shut down- in some instances, didn't allow them to reopen for another two years; this despite the fact that the data has shown all along that it was completely safe for kids to return to schools.

And so, what were the results of the school shutdowns? Well, last year, we witnessed the largest decline ever recorded in the test scores of American children. The school closures wiped away 20 years of gains in academic performance for American kids.

And remember, American kids in public schools weren't doing so great before the closures: they were ranking 30th in math and 20th in science. So it's pretty obvious why millions of parents continue to take their kids out of the public schools, and this is a trend we hope to see continue.
