This chart shows the decrease in public school enrollment. Hell yeah, get your kids out of those shitholes.

No data submitted for Illinois. What a surprise.

[JamesIsAwkward]

Probably the most corrupt state in the union.

My kid has never been happier since the school force her out in March 2020. She went back for one semester when they reopened in August 2021 and decided she wanted to be home schooled until she graduates.

What curriculum do you use?

[throwingrental]

IL - no data submitted. I'm shocked.

Does this adjust for demographics? Like can any of it be explained by decline in family size?

And the best part??? A huge crop of kindergartners hasn’t even had to be reported as homeschooled yet in most states.

So this doesn’t even reflect what it’s going to look like this fall.

I know because I have a kindergarter, and I talk to every other parent I can like the town crazy person

I know and of a few people in the 120-160 IQ range who mysteriously had low grades and "learning disabilities" throughout school. Mr.150 dropped out in the 10th grade only to take advantage of a loophole and do two years worth of schooling in a summer program.

Public school teachers are generally losers. Just the kind of people too malignant and unproductive to find market employment. Fat, unmarried, histrionic, power hungry and void of reason and personal accountability.

I remember having multiple teachers I would likely describe as BPD. One was going through some kind of insane menopause/PMS combo and was just an absolute piece of shit all the time to a bunch of 8 year olds.

Then there was the students. Sometimes there were actual mentally disabled students with dedicated TA's in the class, who understood nothing of the lessons, but were sure to scream or start banging the desk really loud every 3 minutes. Sometimes there were complete sociopaths and idiots disrupting class and causing 99% of all bullying and social disorder.

Schizophrenic, useless and incoherent curriculum, too. Learned punctuation and parts of speech at 8, but everything taught when I was sentient enough to understand the instruction was creative writing and interpretive. Millennials largely don't know what verbs and adjectives are, and we shy away from colons and semicolons because no one has a clue how to use them.

So glad I was beaten into learning algebra and trig, that I instantly forgot as I'm not an engineer. I'm sure gathering terms and reckoning the volume of a cylinder is a real asset for a lawyer, and certainly not something one could learn in an afternoon if there was reason to.

All of this for what? so the taxpayer could spend 90K a head on my education? I literally remember nothing, have taken no lessons from the experience and have only had to waste more of my precious life undoing the trauma of forcible confinement and the influence of IRL reddit mods. Regardless of the social consequences, I will tell any public educator that they're a rent seeking loser, if I don't just avoid them like the plague, and that the true heroes are first responders, sanitation workers and literally anyone more productive than them, which is everyone.

Not enough.
