Why Some Parents Choose to Continue Homeschooling After Pandemic

Sandra Kim, a resident of Loudoun County, Virginia, started homeschooling her three children in the summer of 2020.

She doesn’t necessarily have a problem with public schools, Kim says, but realized her children could do more.

Her second grader now is doing higher-level math and her fourth grader is writing essays, which normally wouldn’t have happened until sixth grade.

“Homeschoolers also do really well in college because they learn executive functioning skills from being at home,” Kim says.
