That many families aren’t leaving the Bay Area they are just pulling their kids out of school. Why if not the progressive curricula?
- otterley 5y agoThe article you cited provided the primary reasons why enrollments are declining: """ Slow population growth: In the 1960s, the population in California grew 26%. Between 2000 and 2010, growth slowed to 15%, then 6.5% between 2010 and 2020. In 2020, there was a net migration loss of 0.5%, signaling that the state’s projection for the next decade, a slim 5.2 percent, may be high. Aging population: In 1970, the median age in California was 28; in 2020 it was 38. In 2030, it will creep up to 40. Birth rates: In the 1950s, the birth rate in California was 25 per 1,000 people; in 2020, it was 12. The previous low of 12.6 was in 1933, during the Great Depression. Delayed marriage: In 2020, for the first time, women’s average age of marrying was over 30. """
