Homeschool Surge: Homeschooling is growing popularity all over the country.

It has been rising in popularity over the last decade going from the “socially awkward” to the “cool smarties”. And now a day doesn’t go by without seeing another news article about public schools declining and homeschooling growing.

Here are some articles showing just how popular it’s getting and why this change is happening across the country. As public schools lose students, more are going to homeschooling or charter schools. Families want more quality education, safer communities and better situations. It’s no wonder families are reacting.

Families are making a stand by choosing simply: Taking their child out of the school system. The school system is not going to like this because that takes dollars away from them. Don’t believe me? Each child in a public school system is worth an average of $16,526. The government calls this “funding for the student” but it’s what the government pays to the school on average per student per year. So the less students, the less money. Enrollment decrease causes a funding decrease.

Are the schools marketing themselves to gain students again? No. They don’t have anything to incentivize families to re-enroll their child to the school system. They have oversized classrooms, limited resources and safety issues. Government schools ask for more county tax money from your property taxes to come in, or ask for more money for resources and school lunches – all run and funded by the government. Government spending per pupil is the funding the government gives to the school for the child attending. Is the funding truly paying for all the educational needs your child may have?
