So only 626 polled, hardly a representative sample.
Then there’s the question about “race” and test samples. While @50% of blacks and asians responded with a positive attitude, what was their percentage of the test subjects? And by using a high percentage of these demographics, how is the end result skewed?
And lumping “virtual” learning into the homeschool question, again skews the results.
And “likely breakdowns”?
Question for Parents (626 respondents):
Are you more or less likely to enroll your son or daughter in a homeschool, neighborhood homeschool co-op, or virtual school once the lockdowns are over?
More Likely: 40.8%
Less Likely: 31.1%
More Likely breakdowns:
Age:
18-34: 44.9%
35-44: 40.8%
45-54: 35.3%
Race & Ethnicity:
White: 36.3%
Black: 50.4%
Hispanic: 38.2%
Asian: 53.8%
Party ID
Democrat: 45.7%
Republican: 42.3%
And with all due respect for “virtual” or distance learning, I have three kids who are doing the distance thing. And have several friends that are teachers.
Actual learning stopped in March, and even the college classes aren’t as effective or good according to the grades they are seeing.
In middle school as well as high school, kids aren’t participating or often not showing up.
And then there’s the “socializing” that happens. Or in this case isn’t happening. Kids are moving backwards at a rapid pace. I am watching it happen all over the place.
