@KateMullinID @DrAparnaBole @DrAmyBeck @MonicaGandhi9 I believe, the article is trying to paint a dividing line. Leading readers to believe & blame that "white flight" or "wealth flight" is why public schools are failing...(cont.)

@KateMullinID @DrAparnaBole @DrAmyBeck @MonicaGandhi9 In NC, it isnt just wealthy families leaving when you have over a 7% increase in charter school enrollment. nsjonline.com/article/2021/0…

@KateMullinID @DrAparnaBole @DrAmyBeck @MonicaGandhi9 Homeschooling pop. also growing like gangbusters. The most interesting thing is the supposedly "best" & wealthiest public school districts REFUSE to work w/ homeschool families in a hybrid model. The districts that allow hybrid homeschooling get to retain the ADM dollars. (Cont.)

@KateMullinID @DrAparnaBole @DrAmyBeck @MonicaGandhi9 Oddly, these same LEAst are this 1st to complain about "white flight," but they do nothing to try & retain families that leave. FYI, ideological homeschooling families usually dont attempt public school or if they do, it isn't for long...(cont)

@KateMullinID @DrAparnaBole @DrAmyBeck @MonicaGandhi9 Families pulling kids out in middle/high school, flee bc they're experiencing school failure. Theyve been begging for help for years & been ignored. The pandemic just brought it all to a head, so they had to flee.

Dont blame parents, when public schools failed big time! 🤷
