RoyalRaccoon+FollowWhy Are So Many Kids Leaving Public Schools?Public school enrollment is dropping fast—almost 4 million fewer students by 2031! The biggest hits are in elementary and middle schools, especially in the Northeast and West. Parents are switching to private schools and homeschooling (up 45% in MA!), and even charter schools are gaining. It’s not just COVID—lower birth rates and school choice are changing the game. Some schools are half-empty, and funding is shrinking, but a few experts say fewer students could mean more resources per kid. Wild times for education! #Education #K12 #PublicSchools340636Share
Kevin Craig+Followis public education slowly disappearing?Watching the gradual shift away from traditional public schools is concerning. New Orleans has just one public school left after Katrina, with everything else converted to charters. I wonder if states like Mississippi might completely abandon public education within 20 years. What does this mean for equal access to learning? #PublicSchools #EducationalEquity60Share
