What could have been a pandemic-stimulated blip is now regarded as a trend and quite possibly an emergent movement: More parents are choosing among a larger and more diverse array of options for their children’s education. The data on homeschooling, mini-pods, micro-schools, and virtual charters shows that all are experiencing significant increases in interest and enrollment. And this phenomenon seems neither a pandemic bump nor simply the result of the proliferating state policies around choice-promoting education scholarship accounts. Advocates, thought leaders, and leading practitioners are grappling with the emerging reality that more parents are actively curating the education experience of their children. And in doing so, these parents are bringing into the K–12 arena many of the same behaviors and expectations they have for the mixed-delivery system they navigate before formal school is mandated and for the market of options they pursue after high school — college, careers, military. The surge in parental “curating” presents new complications and, more importantly, new opportunities for the “school choice” controversies that have roiled education policy for decades. Beginning with this GLR Week session, CGLR will host a series of conversations into the fall that will invite a broad examination of (1) the factors, values, and realities driving the current debates; (2) the development of the major pre-pandemic options, homeschooling, charters, and open enrollment; and (3) the emerging options.
