So proud to work with these great researchers from a variety of great institutions doing this important work on the fastest growing form of education— really about the only growing bc other sectors are flat or declining— in the US. @hmatthewlee @AlbertxCheng @JHUeducation and

EdChoice's "Schooling in America" survey was cited alongside Johns Hopkins University School of Education's Angela Watson in this article about the surge in homeschooling families. While the pandemic sparked the shift, parents are still choosing to educate their kids at home.

I’m seeing more and more of this topic in ed circle discussions— this is next— after cell phone bans.
I and a growing number of professors ban all devices during class--even our grad students fall into distraction. How can K-12 students handle it? @jean_twenge shows that they can't. Get laptops and tablets out of classrooms now: https://t.co/0uunLBBWLe

This year Hillsborough County’s public schools lost 7,000 pupils to “deschooling”, as well as to more familiar charter, magnet and private schools. What has prompted the shift?

Not at all surprising and not causal but interesting and a great catalog of the research on the topic!

What FL is doing is actually not that radical. Some districts across the country have been doing this for decades, even without ESA/vouchers. Any district could do this today- and many are-- allowing HS students in for a la carte offerings paid for with pro-rated per pupil state

Love the @TheEconomist so I am nerding out a little to have our work mentioned @JHUhomeschool @JHUeducation but this story also highlights some really important trends-- unbundling/public school access and the prevalence of students with special needs in homeschooling. We think
