Marquita Straus said she feared her daughter Roo would fall victim to thewhen teachers complained of behavioral issues and difficulty socializing. Roo was diagnosed with autism at 8 years old, Straus said, and her behavioral differences began to make sense. Still, she kept Roo, now 10, in traditional school until a violent incident with a teacher prompted her to look at other educational options for her daughter.
Instead of battling “with people who are not in tune with what their child needs, I encourage considering home-schooling as an option,” Straus said. “It’s completely changed the way I parent and it’s changed my kids’ lives.” . Among the top reasons Black families cited in the survey chose home-schooling were sharing specific values and worldviews , encouraging better academic outcomes , and customizing children’s education .
“I’m able to speed things up and slow things down according to my needs. It’s very individualized,” Cynae Young, left, said of homeschooling with her parents, Cynthia and Landra, and sister Amaya.For Thorpe and the other families, the benefits of home-schooling have been many. They reported, improved mental well-being, and stronger familial bonds. “If they need help with something, the older ones help the younger ones,” Thorpe said. “It fosters family.
Can't imagine some of the nonsense that is going to be taught to these kids. But at least they will not have to spend everyday in a dangerous public school.
Yeah, the school system is a mess—regardless of your skin color.
Public schools are the worst in Democrat cities and states because they do not educate. They indoctrinate.
Any responsible parent. Exit.
Segregation!! Yeah!! Oh…
Good grief.
Home schooling can provide a superior educational experience. An obstacle to home schooling among Blacks is that 75% of Black children are raised in single parent households making home schooling difficult. Black fathers should create a family with the mother of their children.
So sad our schools are failing these children. Kudos to the mom's that are taking matters into their own hands to make sure their children are educated correctly.
NOT the kind of home-schooling righty evangelical Christians love. And that's a good thing.
Now, the usa will increase its pisa’s score.
Only bad when one group does it, only good when another group does it. Your bias is showing & no, I'm not religious/rightwing I'm just not cognitively dissonant either
I bet the scholastic environment will be a lighter and better place now. 🙏
So now everyone thinks they are a teacher even people who didn't graduate school I feel sorry for those kids who will lack education...
Sounds like a terrible idea lol
They only learn woke in public schools
Oh what a quality education.. So Auntie is now their high school counselor, teacher and warden.. Yea, that will work out.
School choice for all, send corrupt unions packing!
Black homeschool= Good. White homeschool= white supremacy indoctrination 😂
An excuse for the poor education systems in the hood.
Sounds racist
This is what they want 🙄 they’d rather have your complacency they want the education system to fail so they can just keep it privatized
So happy that they are rejecting the narrative that has decimated black families since the civil rights movement.
Remind me again why school choice is bad?
Good for them …. Integration at its finest Wonder why we still have racism
Junk schools thanks to dems being owned by teachers unions. This is why dems are against school choice, Got to keep that union money coming in, Money before people
CHINA is launching smaller and smaller 'objects' across the U.S. in order to discover at what point the 'size or shape of the objects' can remain under the radar to avoid U.S. surveillance. Intelligence researched the signatures of prior launches and shared the data with allies
ALL FAMILIES should home school their children. Public schools are not fit for children anymore. There are FREE online schools. There is too much violence and brainwashing in public schools! Your kids' future is worth homeschooling.
I though home schooling was racist? What changed?
Good that's exactly what they should do. Our public school system is trash. They won't be as influenced by trash kids whose parents don't care and exposed to less violence.
That's great if it leads to better outcomes.
This could be the game changer.
Not only black families but, yay! Raise them well.
Our public education is an abysmal failure. Everything the govt touches turns to crud. I’m thrilled more folks are placing such high priority on home schooling for these great kids.
That’s a 100% better than letting these racist teachers in our public schools teach them about sex in kindergarten
White liberals aren't going to like this
“More”, as in there were ZERO, and now there are like three families in the whole world? Good for them, though. 👍
Correction, more black families are turning to homeschooling to properly educate their children instead of just telling them how they are oppressed and should be rewarded for their skin color instead of their hard work
I hope they're also teaching them these basics:
This is one of the best solutions for parents I have heard of. Our public schools are failing and at least this model empowers parents to who can’t afford private school to ensure a good education for their kids! I hope the learning pods grow nation wide!
The white nationalist curriculum in Texas and Florida is a good reason to not have much faith in their school districts where it's illegal to educate children.
Good, their children are not going to be exposed to some ideological agenda, grooming, or brainwashing. Good for them!
Love this!
It's better and safer for their kids. The racism and violence is getting out of hand. I can't imagine raising a black child in AmeriKKKa
More redheads are doing this too
We need black history In our schools!!! ITS AMERICAN HISTORY
So glad to see parents of any race taking their children out of public schools to raise them up right at home. Schools have become disgusting vile places where teachers want nothing but to talk about sex and turn children into activists that hate their country
Good News
