January 1, Public Schools Face Growing Parent Revolt
Wyatt’s Take
- Over a million families decided to leave public schools.
- Parents signal loss of trust in how kids are taught and treated.
- Money continues to flow to schools losing students.
Parents all over America are choosing to pull their kids out of public schools. This isn’t just a few families—it’s over one million students deciding they’d had enough in 2024.
More families are saying the system isn’t working for them anymore. Some blame radical curriculum, others point to falling test scores and safety issues.
“My kid wasn’t learning, just getting pushed along,” one parent said.
Even as students vanish from classrooms, funding keeps flowing into the same failing schools. That leaves taxpayers with little to show for the money poured in year after year.
Families aren’t walking away on a whim. They’re seeking places where children can think for themselves and find real opportunity.
If this trend keeps up, the schools will have to face why so many Americans don’t trust the system.
If you’re a parent or grandparent, this hits close to home. Kids deserve the basics—reading, math, safety, and respect for their values.
Do you think schools should change to win parents back, or should families keep leaving for better options?
Wyatt Matters
Working families know that schools ought to build up strong citizens, not just check boxes. Trust is earned, and right now, it’s in short supply across America’s heartland.

The problem is that parents pay for these public schools through their property taxes, whether their kids go there or not. So to go to a private school, they have to pay twice for their kids’ education.

So true! My parents farmed, and the property taxes on their farmland were so high that my dad calculated that he single-handedly more than paid the salary of one teacher in our school district. We all attended Lutheran school, so my parents really got nothing out of all the education tax dollars they paid in.

I thought there was a plan to allow parents to choose where their portion of federal $$ should go? What do we all need to do to get that plan expedited?
As a retired parent and grandparent. I would like my property tax $$ to follow my granddaughter who is enrolled in private school.

I substitute at schools in my area , most of the problems stem from a few things- first off there are a lot of parents who are not engaged in their children’s school life which is a big problem, 2nd parents allow their children to have a phone during school and fight administrators saying “my child needs to be able to contact me or I them”. The problem is they won’t stay off their phones because they are on social media or talking to friends thru chat, and if they don’t have phones they’re sleeping. No matter how many times you talk to them about it 3rd the administration is too soft on kids and also allow IEPs to pass them even if they fail, and teachers are tired of it and just give into it and don’t do their job for their hands are tied, We NEED TO MAKE CHANGES AS PARENTS. My son graduated last year he had an IEP that allowed him to pass in the 8th grade, I made them REMOVE IT, and kept what tools the IEP had left to get him help to do the work, and if he failed he’d learn from it ,he went from a failing student to an A-B student on the honor roll, that’s what I mean by Parents keep involved with your child and their school and take their phones away or allow the teachers to hold them in a basket till class is over they do learn then, STOP students from doing whatever they want coddling does not make the student life lessons do!
