Covid Silver Lining
The Urban Institute has issued a report on the effect Covid has had on enrollment in public schools. Findings include:
Over the first two school years under the pandemic, K–12 enrollment in public schools fell by more than 1.2 million students…
In the 2021–22 school year, private school enrollment was 4 percent higher while homeschool enrollment was 30 percent higher.
Among the implications:
The sharp and sustained growth in homeschooling and private school enrollment raises new questions about the quality of the learning environments children are experiencing.
Just as we no longer trust health authorities after being brazenly lied to by power-hungry technocrats, parents no longer feel secure leaving their children’s education in the hands of a dysfunctional and ideologically deranged establishment — not after online learning gave them a glimpse of the moonbattery kids are subjected to.
By recklessly wasting vast fortunes and crushing small business, Covid hysteria sowed the seeds of our unfolding economic ruin. But if it results in prying education free of the liberal grip, it could end up saving the country in the long run.
