[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s too early to tell. Families may have stretched for private or homeschool this year but that doesn’t mean it’s sustainable or desirable long term. [/quote]

There was a sudden expansion of private schools overnight. Most of the attrition is permanent. Expecting a rebound, or positive change, requires evidence. Hope is not a strategy.[/quote]

I'm sorry, who is hoping any of these kids come back?  It's great for those of us who stayed that these kids are gone.   The ones who left in my kids' circles were honestly kids who were distractions in class too.  Not sad to see them go.[/quote]

Really? All the best students left out middle school. And the biggest PTA donors. (Not necessarily the same )[/quote]

The big PTA donors makes sense.  I have a middle school kid and my observation is the same as PPs.  The kids I personally know who left had executive functioning issues and virtual learning was a dumpster fire for them.  They were kind of barely hanging on before and the pandemic just really put them behind.  And the parents (understandably) panicked.[/quote]

Pretty sure virtual learning was a dumpster fire for every student. My kid is a totally different student this year compared to last. The pandemic effects were awful[/quote]
