In the Los Angeles Unified District, enrollment dropped by 27,000 students, dropping by more than 5 percent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For students even younger, the number is even higher. Both the preschool and kindergarten levels experienced significant drops, decreasing by an incredible 13 percent. Even more ominous is the pre-K student drops, which fell by more than 22 percent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we reach the 19th complete month of \u201c15 days to slow the spread,\u201d the government continues to pursue their anti-rights agenda on the population with no end in sight. With many schools threaten universal vaccinations or weekly testing, the future looks bleak for people who seek freedom and individual liberties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With more and more families leaving the public school systems, alternate venues are being explored. The most notable among these are charter schooling and homeschooling. The first of these saw a 240,000 student, or 7% increase over the 2020 season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interestingly, there is a significant rise in homeschooling among black and multi-racial families up from 3 percent from last year, to 16 percent in the new session.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In previous years, homeschooling and charter schooling was considered a less effective route to schooling, but as faith in the government system continues to wane, these options are becoming significantly more appealing to the public eye.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Photo Cred: Spencer Grant\/Alamy Stock Photo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Andrew Morris As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to give rise to differing views on government actions, parents have reached a breaking point with the Public School System.
