Are Homeschooling Children Now 18% of students from 3% in 2010? We Have Passed the Tipping Point for American Liberalism.

Gary North reports:

The federal government, every five or six years, surveys the number of homeschool students in the United States. In the latest report, which was released in 2011, the number was under 1.8 million. This had crept up, but it was obviously quite small. The government doesn't have to worry about this.

Then I got to thinking about the Khan Academy. In recent months, it has stated that it has over 26 million enrolled students. This is in 190 countries. So, I went to Alexa.com to see what percentage of the site's traffic is from the United States. It is approximately 50%. Inside the United States, the site is ranked number 522. This is incredibly high.

I realize that some of their students are in public school settings. But I don't think many of them are. A few selected schools use the Khan Academy. I am convinced the overwhelming majority of these enrolled students are homeschoolers.

If there are 26 million enrolled students, and half of these students are in the United States, we are talking about 13 million students. Add these to the two million students who are in the conventional homeschool programs. This gets to 15 million students. There are approximately 80,000,000 students enrolled in K-12 programs in the United States. This means that the homeschool population has moved from under 3% of students in 2010 to over 18%.

This is taking place because of one man who gets funding from Bill Gates and other multimillionaires. Salman Khan came out of nowhere to take over the educations of 26 million students. Furthermore, the number keeps growing.

An article well worth your time.
