Should we bother having kids if we’re just going to turn them over to other people to raise? Children are in school – or engaged in extracurricular activities and homework – for roughly the equivalent of a full-time job each week. Outside of sleeping and recreation hours, that doesn’t leave parents much time to shape their kids physically, mentally and morally for adulthood. Many families still rely on public schools to help complete the job of preparing their children for life. But is a partnership with public school still workable today?
In recent years, many public schools have adopted divisive and harmful ideologies, like Critical Race Theory (CRT), gender theory, and radical sex ed programs into their curriculum. These concepts are being injected into every school subject, from math to history to P.E., often sowing confusion and anxiety in students who may already be struggling to meet basic educational goals. Reading and math proficiency rates in American public schools have declined and stagnated respectively since 2017, and the trend is likely to continue or get worse as unnecessary focus is placed on these politically charged ideologies. Sending your child to public school in this climate is a gamble, and there’s a good chance they’ll develop into a young adult who hates America, opposes your values, or adopts perspectives on sex and gender that depart from biological reality.
