This is absolutely false. Did you read the article?
Parents didn't flock to homeschooling during the lockdowns because of religious ideology: they did it because they wanted their children to LEARN.
IME, the two biggest reasons parents chose homeschooling were a) government school academics are garbage and b) government schools were often unsafe.
The parents wanted a SAFE _EDUCATIONAL_ environment for their kids, rather than prisons which allowed students to assault one another while the teachers spent all of their energy trying to get the bottom 10% to meet the absurdly low minimum standards.
Your experience may be very different, but don't use your bigotry to defame millions of parents.
- jdbernard 3y agoMy wife's exposure to the daily habits of public schools in our area as part of her internships towards a degree in childhood education are a huge part of why we chose to homeschool. My experiences going through the public school system are another big part. Your explanation fits our scenario completely.
