- American parents are increasingly taking their children's education into their own hands -- and their own homes. Washington Post staff writer Peter Jamison joins CBS News to discuss why that is and what it means for American education.

Parents are sick of all the woke, racist and down-right nasty nonsense their children are being exposed to by too many radicalized teachers, and the school board members. I agree that the money should follow the child.
I'm with you
Also, there's a woman at my church who pulled out her kids from public school after there was a stabbing. There's been an increase in fights to the point where it is honestly not safe anymore
Its almost like we don’t want our kids brain washed by either side of the government
Parents are homeschooling their children because a lot of administrators care more about their paycheck and kissing the government's arse than they do about the academic success of each child
Home schooling is on the rise because kids are returning home from school knowing less than when they left the house.
it's the opposite, actually. They're learning too much. Parents are scared that kids will know more than they do. And they're right
@@katenoke1571 If they're learning so much, why is it that an ever increasing number of kids can't even read at their grade level? Or why have test scores gone down to the point where there's several sxhools where not a single student was proefficient at math?
@@trato-jm3fx because of a couple of things: inequality (red states have a dismal record on this) and the fact that we are committed to educating all students, including those with disabilities (you know, like those babies born at 22 weeks who are medically fragile and suffer cognitive and behavioral deficits). Other countries don't include those kids in statistics. Hope this helps and you become an advocate for equal educational opportunities for all of our children!!!! Our 3rd level institutions are the envy of the world
@@katenoke1571😂😂😂
I know a couple that homeschools their kids just because they don't want them SHOT!
Extactly why my child is and has been in virtual school since 2019 it’s not like it used to be dangerous
Sometimes I wish I was homeschooled. Staff don't care to address bullying and drugs. I always went to good schools but there are some people that are TOXIC!
It’s because schools suck.
I’m sixty six, I wish I’d never put my children in public schools.
No surprise at all. Government schools have been failing so many children. They’ve also been dumbing down the schools for decades. If you want your kids to actually learn something you often have to teach them yourself.
If you have to get your kid jabbed more than 50 times just to attend kindergarten, something is wrong.
Everyone should home their kids, if they could. I would NEVER want to raise my kids in the public school system. I've even thought about taking them out of the country for schooling because I don't want them around all the other kids whose parents don't even parent them anymore.
Hello Everyone! I am a homeschooling mom that is also a professional Educator. Having a view from inside of the educational system, I did not want my child mixed in with all the issues taking place. There are so many things that need to addressed, I just feel sad for our kids' experiences. I am so grateful that I get to homeschool mine and offer what is needed instead of what was provided previously. I do wish I could help more kids have a different option. It's just alot to see and navigate for the kids. Take care everyone and have a great day.
Thank you for sharing your experience and your contributions. It’s assuring to see the perspective from a
true professional educator
Please share with us parents how to get started, what websites for example. Thank you !
@@MallyNC Thank you so much for your kind words! I truly love working with kids.
About to homeschool my own kid and she's only in pre K right now. Her mental health has sunk so low.... She likes learning but the kids make her miserable. She also has SPD and I suspect she's being bullied.
I'm sorry to hear this and advise you to pull her out because in my experience bullying does not get treated serious at all. Most schools are soft on bullying calling it "restorative discipline" and moving away from zero tolerance.
I'm not sure why anyone is surprised by this. Just look how public education handled COVID.
I just started homeschooling my child because of all of the school shootings and lockdown drills which was my initial reason however as the weeks are going on, I am seeing so many other benefits to homeschooling but what about the parents who cannot homeschool and who have to be at work in person with no option of working remotely? Also, even if parents are working from home, it would typically be an 8am thru 6pm work shift therefore how are they able to assist their children when the kids are stuck and need help and what about being stuck inside all day as a child while your parent is working in another room? These poor kids today have already lived through the pandemic, school lock down drills, etc...These things will affect them as adults and now to be stuck inside all day homeschooling with no social interaction while the parent's work from home is just crazy. I feel so guilty being in this situation. How do you all manage? 😔
My kids are homeschooled because 2 of the 3 were atleast 2 grade levels behind and when we requested they be held back, it was a fight with the superintendent. Also, the staff and administration were choosing to enforce policies only when it benefited them. Ex: teacher taking kids to his home to see his home theater....no educational reason, just to impress kids. No permission slips sent home, no teachers or administration aware he was doing so. When we found out and reported it, no repercussions for the teacher because "he's an upstanding member of society".
the reason why kids are being homeschooled more is because kids are being bullied, to much homework, lack of transportation, lack of friends, early start times and tests
There are also lack of life skills. I know many of the teachers do their best as teachers, but the kids are badly needing life skills. It does not hurt for a 12 and 13 year old to learn work ethic. And kids also have more time with their families when they are homeschooling. It kind of makes me mad that the guy is talking about consequences. I love homeschooling my kids.
Not just those listed above. It’s because of other things also like some
being dangerous, outrageous policies, bad teachers, the curriculum and the mix of political rederic and indoctrination of “system” ideologies. Those are just some but extremely good reasons kids should be homeschooled.
@@thelizfamilyvlogs6187 In response to your point about consequences to home schooling. There are also positive consequences to home schooling that are left unstated. Such as better academic achievement, and a better learning environment (lack of bullying, etc).
@brianschuetz2614 OH yes. There are a ton of pros to homeschooling. I mean you do not get the high school proms or graduation ceremonies, but that's ok. I never wanted to go to prom anyways. I don't think my kids are interested in prom either. My daughter gets to go to Night to Shine, and that matters to her, but she could really care less about prom and homecoming...lol. The pros are more time with the family, being able to make learning fun, including field trips, doing life skills which is something they do not have time to do in school, or they are too tired to do it, learning money at home, being able to learn at their own pace and not having so much peer pressure. Like my kids do not care that they wear Goodwill clothes, partly because they don't have the peer pressure to buy the newest brands of clothing.
@@thelizfamilyvlogs6187Many homeschool co-ops do prom and graduation :)
Public schools were not where I learned. Anywhere else was.
poor thing
I did have a teacher who taught me real life experience. Actually 2 of them. They were phenomenal teachers. They had to take me out of the school to do so.
@@thelizfamilyvlogs6187 Same here. And my two highly dedicated mentors made sure my experiences were as varied as they were vast, spanning twelve cities in five U.S. states and two countries on two separate continents. Mere brick & mortar schoolhouses staffed by staid, bored, highly-regulated “teachers” can never provide that level of intense, real-life learning experiences.
@fluxfaze I had one teacher take me and the class out of state to an overnight science camp for learning, another would take us on random field trips such as a holocaust museum, cemetery where most people buried there died of either the bubonic plague or Spanish flu, and she would take us to DC. She knew we were not learning in the classroom. Another taught me work ethic by having me volunteer and taking me on part-time job interviews. So 3. They were phenomenal. And then my parents taught me work ethic by having me work for them and earn money. I learned the most from those experiences than I did from four walls.
@fluxfaze Now I homeschool my kids and my kids are thriving. Their having life experience, learning job skills, money, gardening and so on.
In FLA, and maybe other states there is ONLINE public school which is NOT considered Homeschool. This number of ONLINE PUBLIC school has increased as well, but I bet they are not including this data in their studies because they are NOT registered as Homeschooling. Most of these ONLINE public school remained online because the "drama" in Public brick and mortal: bully, shootings, and so on.
SCHOOL CHOICE! Government money for children in home schools.
This often comes with strings attached…
@@mariafuniciello7645 as it should. You're taking away $ from other students just so you can indoctrinate your children
That's not the victory you think it is. The government will want more access to your home in that regard.
@@nikkifoster9943 probably not in texas, lol
This is not nationwide phenomenon in US but world wide too!! Including INDIA... For parents who focus on more than rote learning, infrastructure of the school and what their peers feel, and more of ....on quality of teachers.. Though I'm talking about global online schooling rather than homeschooling by parents..
Yup! All around the world. I have parents reach out to me for homeschool support from South Africa, Bulgaria, Australia -- all over!!
Extactly why my child has been in virtual schooling at home since 2019 she’s on honor roll no public school it is a no to dangerous
Homeschooling is on the rise because people are afraid for their progeny and their future.
They're doomsayers, in other words
Send them to public school and they’ll come back telling you that math is racist.
@@celestial-mq9sc uh oh, another fake terrified right winger. Watch out, everyone!!!!!
@@celestial-mq9sc oh no, your kids might actually learn something! I bet the Duggars wish they had been sent to public school so they could have learned about inappropriate touching...
@@katenoke1571Yeah, because inappropriate touching never happens at school or to any kid that goes to school 🤦🏻♀️
Randi Weingarten and the teacher's unions are scr*w*d. 😂
One thing that seems to have been left out is the quality of the education. I am engaged to be married, and my fiancee has a daughter of school age. In my city, I'm not impressed with the school. It has a low academic achievement, and from what I've gathered isn't the safest learning environment. Those two factors are the main reasons why I won't be putting her in the public school. Has nothing to do with ideologies, religious or political. So my options are private school and home school. Home schooling gives more flexibility with the what and how of a child's education. Plus, I can give more control to her child over her education. I see that as helping her become more invested in her education. Instead of a required task (drudgery), it becomes her choice. We will be able to cater her education more to her learning style, and her interests. That doesn't mean we won't provide our own input and direction, because there are things I want to introduce her to, things I want her to learn, but I want her to own her education.
No it's not people afraid of conservative values.
Most liberals I know are not afraid of conservatives at all. They just want their kids to have life experience.
I'm sure there are a few that actually are home schooling because they don't like "conservative values", but my guess is that the majority of them are not doing it for that reason.
Hmmmmmm let me take a shot at why home schooling has increased....
People should home school to protect the psychological well being of their kids. Schools are some of the most damaging places emotionally, where allowing students to prey on one another gets a pass and boring school work, most of which is intrinsically meaningless memorization, induces the so called "ADD/ADHD" in kids. Very little real learning goes on too because K-12 is mostly a learning charade, where kids memorize facts (different from understanding) for a test/quiz, and then forget the facts within two days after the test supposedly proved that learning supposedly occurred.
But what about "socialization"? yes, kids are socialized to form cliques, prey on the self esteem of the weak or sensitive, gossip, bully, and are taught that absorbing pop culture is "cool" and "popular".
Why would you send your kids to such a dangerous place? I would not go to a bar with the kind of awful place
Time :4 5 home
Nobody surprised by that 😂
Home schoolers have the right idea if I had the means to homeschool I would
First of all, our institutions are supposed to serve people. They no longer do. Kids spend as much time in school as full grown adults do at work. I have a big problem with this. I realize not everyone gets the option to opt out of this. If I can I will because it’s a ridiculous expectation of a child. In Colorado half day kindergarten was completely halted so even a 5 year old doesn’t get a half day anymore. This is a ridiculous. With homeschooling parents can spend half the time with their child focused on their interests and needs and get better results than with the nearly 8 hour learning day in public school. I want my child to grow up expecting more for herself. It’s just a design to condition kids to grow up to be good employees.
DIvErsity
Good! Nobody should be sending their kids to school. We have technology in this country, even 3rd world countries study from home or at home and do very well. If I were a kid, I'd not go to school but either learn online or ask to be home schooled. Kids are not safe at schools anymore. There is no school experience any more in today's world, unlike when I went to school in the 60s. Today there are shootings and worse bullies. Kids are don't know how to interact with each other anyway little less the teachers at a school. Home schooling your kids in today's world is MUCH safer. All in all, we have failed the children, sadly.
You are right schools are unsafe. Liberal teachers in government schools will indoctrinate your kids.
This coincides with the rise of unsocialized school shooters. You realize you're reinforcing what you're complaining about, right?
@@katenoke1571 Please elaborate. I think you are making a correlation that isn't justified, but I'm curious to hear your take.
@@brianschuetz2614 I mean, the same people who complain that schools were shut during covid also complain that public schools aren't fit places for their children, who need to be sheltered from a dangerous world. What is the impact of hearing that you can't be allowed to attend school with your peers? Isolation is a key factor in mental health issues
@@brianschuetz2614 I do understand that correlation doesn't equal causation, but children not being able to interact with peers from different backgrounds and experiences in public schools just doesn't seem wise to me. Too much fear is being forced on children. No wonder they're struggling to make their way in the world
First those numbers include the pandemic timeframe, where they had no choice.
Turn on the news. The pandemic is over
good point
In my state, school at home numbers during the pandemic were not the same as homeschooling. Homeschoolers are not "registered" students in the district.
@@juliennedesjardins5383 this is definitely an important and relevant context which could mean these numbers could be skewed.
@@alk3078nope I know a lot of people with Covid it is not over
That end was a lot of jibber jabber to get to …kids are money we need them in the system
BOOM!
Lets be honest public schools are for children to socialize not learn. Its up to parent to make sure their child is getting proper education smh
oh boy
As a homeschooling mom myself, how many times do I need to repeat that my kids are socialized??😅
@@thelizfamilyvlogs6187I have my friends from Christian homeschooling group I was part of. Including my boyfriend!. We both been labeled crazy sorry nay sayers my boyfriend & I made that decision to homeschool when we have kids one day special Ed in the school system no thanks.
@@thelizfamilyvlogs6187 That's the thing that's getting so annoying to me, is the continued idea that home schooled children won't get "socialized". I grew up in public school, when public school was actually not as bad as it is today. After I graduated high school, I had to spend several years developing my social skills. I was shy and socially awkward. I'm not convinced a formal school setting is ideal, or even helpful, for "socializing" children. And really, how difficult is it to socialize a child outside of a school setting? I mean, I actually had plenty of socializing outside of a school setting that was definitely more enjoyable and profitable. As long as you don't keep a child isolated all the time, they'll be just fine. There are many options available for putting a child in social settings outside of school. If nothing else, get them involved with scouts. If you have friends with kids, there's another source for socializing. My friends had their son involved with a theater group involving children. There are sports options. Even options involving music and art. If a parent is truly interested in their child's development, they don't need a formal school setting to achieve it.
@@brianschuetz2614 amen to this. I completely agree.
Well maybe the public schools should listen to the people that have to send their children to the schools. Because they have the power to say what there children are being taught.
where the heck do you live? Most parents are too busy with all their social activities to bother with supporting schools
Have you been following all the school board meetings online? Parents have stood up and given evidence, ideas, compelling arguments, and they’re totally dismissed and ignored, even bullied by administrators.
@@roamingmompreneur792 maybe they're just a bunch of ignorant whiners? Just a thought. Luckily, young people aren't as easily manipulated as their parents
Ok, maybe I am missing something here, but I am going to go out on a limb and call baloney on the "ultimate financial consequences for public schools" due to the significant percentage growth for homeschooling in recent years or at least here in Wisconsin. Our household pays in full taxes that still support the local schools AND we pay 100% for our own homeschooling (as it should be- because no thanks to any strings attached elsewhere). So those tax dollars do NOT follow the child here at least. If anything, homeschoolers are instead HELPING because they are not an actual cost burden to the school district while those tax dollars still roll in funding the schools. With all due respect, nice try CBS/WAPO and the "COALITION" wanting "more oversight,", but from the overwhelming number of comments down below here, I don't think most folks who actually understand the true merits of homeschooling are buying it as nicely packaged this all seems- at least more at the start..
I'm surprised the comment section is not disabled 😅
Because they don’t want to send their little boy to school, then kidnapped by the state, and returned to them (or not) as a little girl ? (See Ca’s AB 665? )
Or identifying as a cat
Or sexually trafficked, which that has happened in schools....sadly.
@@thelizfamilyvlogs6187 LMOA on cat.. and agreed
Plenty of abuse happens in the home. Homeschooling would make that easier to hide
@katenoke1571 But the families who are not abusing should not be punished due to families who are abusive. So there should still be freedom to homeschool. I know that families who are known to have a history of abuse, are required to send their kids to school in some states, which I think is great. Families who are abusive have no business homeschooling their kids.
maybe... CRT is bad?
We homeschool, let’s be real, when I was in college, most of the people that went into teaching were simply failures of real eductions (ie. Premed, engineering, nursing, etc.), and I went to a university that took a lot of pride in its teaching program… many modern day teachers are simply the failures of other degrees, they’re pathetic, some of the dumbest people I know are teachers, it’s the default degree
lol. Homeschooling emerged in the 1970s??? Homeschooling has always been around and is a lot older than public or private education 😂😂. Who is this “journalists “? He needs to get his facts straight.
I cringed when I heard 1970s 😂
A number of our country's early leaders were homeschooled....Homeschooling was the more traditional way to school going back from the beginning of humanity up until the late 1800s- when the industrial revolution had Rockefeller declaring "I don't want a nation of thinkers, I want a nation of workers," and then set out to establish widespread gov't funded (mandatory) schooling to learn the necessary skills to fill the factories.
What percentage of new homeschoolers in Florida reported shifting in the last 6-12 months because of conservative issues in instruction? Were there actually any or are you just projecting because you like the idea of 6 year olds learning about gay sex?
I’d send my kid to public school in Florida before a public school in Michigan. They’re half-white, and I don’t want them being taught their father is a colonizer that hates them 🤦🏾♀️
Dems and teaching unions and lockdowns
Bunch of scaredy cats...
