It isn’t often that I get to write about public education and manage a smile, but the idea of public schools crumbling under the weight of their own massive failure is just too amazing. And as the Post Millennial reports, public schools in Washington state saw over 40,000 students leave, and projections forecast another 1,400 students leaving in the academic year 2021-2022.
Those are some brutal numbers.
Parents have chosen, instead, to homeschool their children or transfer them to one of the charter or private schools. Why? There are a few reasons: lack of in-person instruction, low quality of online education, and—surprise, surprise—the radical curriculum.
Public schools in the state boasted some incredibly impressive numbers. And by impressive, I mean terrible! School assessments indicate 70% of students failed to meet standards in mathematics, and 52% failed to meet them in English. With numbers like these, why wouldn’t a parent want their children attending public schools?
One parent told the PM, “I did not realize what my kids were being taught until I had to listen to it every day in my living room.” Thank you, remote learning! The greatest thing to come out of the left’s push to keep students out of the classroom has been the ability for parents to become aware of the indoctrination taking place.
Though those were the reasons given for parents pulling their children from the public school system, other parents said they would immediately pull their children is the COVID vax is mandated for attendance. “That will be the last straw.”
However, even as enrollment cratered, “Democrats in the state legislature pushed bills to allocating [sic] an additional $644 million to schools, as if they are still serving the missing students.”
And yet, the system is still hemorrhaging money! Seattle Public Schools is so hard up for cash that they are literally begging parents to re-enroll their students!
Did you know? The number of students enrolled at SPS determines our budget. Right now, we are seeing a decrease in enrollment, which means a decrease in our budget. SPS continues to work on making sure we have a balanced budget every year: https://buff.ly/3iTPV68\u00a0pic.twitter.com/WvmmevnqfT— Seattle Public Schools (@Seattle Public Schools) 1627512123
This makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. There’d be nothing better than to see all parents choosing to homeschool over the public school system, and this mass exodus makes me believe it could be a real possibility.
Kudos to all the Washington parents who chose to do right by their children and tell the public schools to f*ck off.
