[quote=Anonymous][quote] have to agree with PP this is not all kids, but public school kids. What it says to me is that the upper and middle classes are abandoning public education in favor of private. That was especially likely in the south. [/quote] Interesting idea, but only ~10% of school age kids in the US are enrolled in private schools: [url]http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jack-jennings/proportion-of-us-students_b_2950948.html[/url], and only ~3 percent of the US population is home schooled: [url]http://www.hslda.org/docs/news/2013/201309030.asp [/url] If we assume that everyone who is home schooled and in private school are not low income (which may not be a great assumption), that would mean that ~45% of school aged kids in the US are growing up low income. Which is a huge deal.[/quote]
