[quote=Anonymous]My kids' school lost 10-15 students this year, not including families who moved and not including kindergartners whose parents redshirted them. Half of those students had parents who were complaining way before the pandemic; they wanted a LLIV, they wanted language immersion, their 2E child wasn't getting the services they expected, you get the idea. They went private and probably would have done so anyway because the principal isn't great. The remainder homeschooled. That group universally has kids in the K-2 age group and either a SAHP with an education background or a live in grandparent who was already helping a lot. I think the second group will be back next fall. Not sure about the first group, although a few of those parents are vocally complaining about their private schools on the neighborhood FB site, too.

I'm sure it depends on the area, but most people where I live probably can't comfortably afford private school for the next 5-10 years and then pay for college afterwards without making some major sacrifices. I expect all but a few outliers will return to public school. [/quote]
