Why Parents Are Ditching Govt Schools for Homeschooling

It is clear that government-run “public schools” have failed children. According to the U.S. government’s own data, in 2024, fewer than a third of students nationwide are working at a proficient level in reading and comprehension. That means a vast majority of America’s youth cannot read and write. And the government’s definition of “proficient” is sad to say the least. Obviously, something needs to change.

But besides the academic failure that is apparent in government schools, biblically, parents must be the ones responsible for their children’s upbringing and education. Deuteronomy 11:19 articulates this principle.
