Homeschooling on the rise amid COVID-19 pandemic

Because of the pandemic, more people have tried homeschooling and no longer want to send their children to the traditional schools.

The percentage of children being homeschooled in the U.S. has nearly doubled since the start of the COVID-19, according to a U.S. Census Bureau report. 

The number of students increased from 5.6% in March 2020, to 11% in Sept. 2020, according to the most recent bureau report on the issue, released in March.

Prior to the pandemic, roughly 3.3% of U.S. households homeschooled children. 

Black households saw the largest increase. Their homeschooling rate rose from 3.3% in the spring of 2020 to 16.1% in the fall according to the report.
