Don't blame the pandemic.
Isn't this the same behavior expected in our public schools?
Between 2020 and 2021, almost 2 million students stop attending public schools. Charter school enrollment rose during this time. In a recent poll from Education Next, district-operated schools lost 4 percent of their students during those two years, with those children enrolling in other types of schooling.
In the spring of 2020, 81 percent of schoolchildren in the United States were enrolled in district schools, according to parental response to the poll. By November of that year, enrollment in district schools had plummeted to 72 percent, according to Education Next numbers.
This has caused some school districts to shut down some of their schools. Public schools in the U.S. have lost more than a million students since the start of the pandemic, prompting
some districts across the country to close buildings because they don't have enough pupils or funding to keep them open. (https://media.gab.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=700,quality=100,fit=scale-down/system/media_attachments/files/124/544/874/original/183b9226f1c0e168.png)

a rise in home schooling and growing competition from private and charter schools are contributing to the decline in traditional public school enrolment
Districts in cities including Denver and Indianapolis have developed plans to shut down underused schools...
