Home schooling rates soar during pandemic in Hawaii and nationally
Nearly twice as many families in Hawaii decided to home-school their children this academic year as last year, according to new data from public schools and the Census Bureau.
The figures mirror a national trend that appears to reflect coronavirus concerns, more parents working at home, and dissatisfaction with “remote learning.”
“Home schooling is alive and well in Hawaii,” said Lori Beth Auldridge, who home schools her three daughters in Upcountry Maui and helps other families.
“We are doing it because it aligns with our family’s values,” she said. “Other people are doing it because virtual school isn’t working for their children.”
