From The Magazine: The pandemic transformed K-12 education. Some parents withdrew their kids from public school. The Post asked parents why they chose private or home schooling, and what the right to control their child’s education means to them.
I looked at public schools. She was supposed to go to five different schools from 3 to 13 years old. Who has the time to deal with that? It is too much stress for the parent and for the kid. At her Montessori school she goes from 3 to 13 years old in the same building, with the same principal, the same rules, the same traditions. It’s a small school, so we know all the teachers, kids and parents. It’s a tightknit community. Plus, I am hoping for no school shootings.
I don’t think people should have this option. I think everyone should attend public school with limited exceptions and that doing so creates a more cohesive society. I struggle with this decision because I believe I’m contributing to the failure of public schools and society, but, honestly, public education is failing anyway. My children might be better positioned, but I question the future society we’re preparing them for.
We never thought we would be paying for private school. We’re doing this at the expense of saving for college and retirement. We believe in the public school system, and it was heartbreaking to leave it. We are taking it year by year and not looking long-term at this point. In addition to covid concerns, our district has had some extreme voices, including parents who want to ban books, anti-LGBTQ rhetoric among parents, and some questionable school board members.
