65 | Why Are Parents Leaving Public Schools? | Parenting Teens & School Choice

Public schools across the country are losing students, and some districts are facing school closures, budget concerns, and difficult decisions. There are several reasons behind declining public school enrollment—but what can we learn when families choose to leave?

In this episode of Raising Boys with Purpose™, we’re looking at one piece of the public education conversation: parents choosing charter schools, private schools, homeschooling, and other educational options for their children.

Instead of focusing on who is to blame for changing enrollment, what if we paid more attention to why families are making different choices? What are parents looking for when it comes to academics, safety, school environment, and accountability—and what could public schools learn from those concerns?

We’ll also talk about why strong public schools matter to all of us, even when our own sons attend somewhere else, and why choosing the right educational environment is ultimately an individual decision for each family and each child.

If you’re raising a son and thinking about public school, school choice, homeschooling, charter or private schools, student accountability, or simply what helps our boys receive a strong education, this episode will give you plenty to think about.
