Time to End Lockdowns From Public School Alternatives
Charter Schools,Inequality,Public Schools,Education
Coronavirus public K-12 school safety lockdowns and reopening uncertainties have driven millions of American families to think very seriously about home-schooling, private schooling and charter school alternatives that are facing opposition from powerful teacher union lobbies and compliant Democratic advocates.
Many, perhaps millions, of other current home-schooling and alternative program families are realizing that in many cases they, or their hired teachers, are doing a better job of educating their children than they experience with accessible public offerings.
Some families with school-age children are wondering if or when their kids will be able to get any sort of "normal" education experiences. Uncertainty about public and private school re-openings has affected more than 13,000 school districts nationwide, with some already pushing back start dates, planning hybrid online- brief physical presence models, or entirely online classes.
