jenna64+FollowPublic Schools Are Losing Kids FastPublic schools are in a tough spot—enrollment is dropping big time, thanks to fewer kids being born and more families picking other options like homeschooling or private schools. Since 2019, over a million students have left the K-12 system, and it’s only expected to get worse. Less students means less funding, which could mean bigger classes, fewer teachers, and even school closures. Wild to think how different school might look in a few years! #Education #PublicSchools #EducationCrisis195Share
Katherine Hunt+FollowPublic Schools Are Losing Students FastPublic schools are in trouble—enrollment is dropping big time, thanks to fewer kids being born and more families picking private or homeschooling. Experts say we could see millions fewer students in the next few years, which means less funding, bigger classes, and even school closures. Districts are scrambling to compete, but with birth rates at historic lows and families moving to cheaper states, there’s only so much they can do. Did you see this coming? #Education #PublicSchools #EducationCrisis00Share
RoyalRaccoon+FollowWhy Are So Many Kids Leaving Public Schools?Public school enrollment is dropping fast—almost 4 million fewer students by 2031! The biggest hits are in elementary and middle schools, especially in the Northeast and West. Parents are switching to private schools and homeschooling (up 45% in MA!), and even charter schools are gaining. It’s not just COVID—lower birth rates and school choice are changing the game. Some schools are half-empty, and funding is shrinking, but a few experts say fewer students could mean more resources per kid. Wild times for education! #Education #K12 #PublicSchools438753Share
Kevin Craig+Followis public education slowly disappearing?Watching the gradual shift away from traditional public schools is concerning. New Orleans has just one public school left after Katrina, with everything else converted to charters. I wonder if states like Mississippi might completely abandon public education within 20 years. What does this mean for equal access to learning? #PublicSchools #EducationalEquity60Share
