In the 2024-2025 school year, homeschooling continued to grow across the United States, increasing at an average rate of 5.4%. This is nearly three times the pre-pandemic homeschooling growth rate of around 2%. Notably, 36% of reporting states recorded their highest homeschool enrollment numbers ever — exceeding even the peaks reached during the pandemic.

    I was homeschooled. Its the best! “they need social interaction” yeah, but not necessarily with the retarded kids in public school, sorry… I got plenty enough social interactions. I had friends that went to public school. I played soccer, made friends there. I went to church, had friends there. My parents had friends who had kids I was friends with. I also surfed and liked other sports well enough. There were the neighborhood kids I was friends with, and I lived rural too. I had brother too. Enough about friends.

    But yeah, if yall give homeschooling a good try and be committed I believe it is 1000% better than public school. And I think that is both because of education and social education. Some public school kids that I see -especially these days-… its just sad and pitiful… like cant read a clock or read or write cursive? There are so many bad influences too, I know that sounds cliche even, but its true. The wrong friends are worse than the wrong education, sometimes… Oh also both my older brothers are very successful, im a little less successful but still awesome, I make enough and live well. Im also the only one of my brothers that had a drug phase too though. But… im clean now and got shit back together.

    Hey my mom also was a science teacher before she became a mom and started homeschooling!
