A Cardus Educational Survey (CES) has discovered that homeschooled children outperformed their non-homeschooled peers on various psychosocial issues. Between 2019 and 2021, school enrolment declined by 2.1 million while homeschooling increased by 30%.
The trend was largely influenced by the pandemic when homeschooling was mandatory. However, many parents continued to teach their children at home even after physical classes resumed.
The CES report that studied adults between adults 24 to 39 years old analyzed economic, mental health, civic, spiritual, and family formation among homeschooled and non-homeschooled individuals.
It categorized the subjects into short-term homeschoolers (1-2 years of homeschooling), medium-term homeschoolers (3-7 years), and long-term homeschoolers (over 8 years). The individuals attended traditional public schools, Catholic schools, Protestant schools, nonreligious independent schools, or were homeschooled.
One key finding was that homeschooled adults exhibited better mental health than their non-homeschooled peers amid the nation’s ongoing mental health crisis affecting teens and young adults.
11% of parents now homeschool, according to new Census data. That’s about TRIPLE the rate prior to the pandemic.
Great.

The report found that long-term homeschoolers had the highest levels of optimism, gratitude, and life satisfaction. They were also the least likely to “feel helpless dealing with life’s problems” or report depression and anxiety symptoms.
Similarly, short-term and long-term homeschoolers were more likely to volunteer and give to charity in the last 12 months compared to medium-term homeschoolers or those who were never homeschooled.
Homeschooled individuals also reported higher rates of belief in God and participation in religious activities compared to non-homeschoolers. The rate of religiosity was proportional to the number of years spent homeschooling.
“The prevalence of religious belief and practice increased with the number of years spent in the homeschool sector,” the study stated.
This is hardly surprising considering that the education system is highly anti-religious while allowing other negative ideologies to thrive within the learning environment.
Long-term homeschoolers were also more likely to be married, have more children on average, and had the lowest divorce rates. The study did not attribute this finding to any ideology but the school system has been pushing anti-family ideologies such as feminism and LGBTQ+, which greatly undermine family formation.
Given the diverse nature of the study subjects, it is likely that these results are more nuanced than reported. If the study isolated individuals who attended public schools, where woke culture thrives, vs homeschooled individuals, the results would likely be groundbreaking. Many religious and private schools still instill conservative values and are free of the woke culture that plagues public schools, thus potentially neutralizing its effect.
Another concerning finding of the CES survey was that homeschooled individuals were less likely to be full-time employed compared to those who physically attended school. Given their tendency to have more children on average, getting married, and being less likely to be divorced, it was likely that some were stay-at-home parents taking care of their families.
Likely, their decision to take care of their children instead of pursuing a career resulted in better mental health outcomes for themselves and their children. No amount of financial success can substitute for good mental health and a nice family when the “achievers” live in a perpetual state of mental anguish, anxiety, helplessness, and silent desperation.
As the study indicated, long-term homeschooled individuals had better mental health, were happier, more grateful, and were the least likely to feel helpless, and contributed more towards charity.
While the short-term financial gains might be appealing, they are costly in the long due to depopulation which is an existential threat. The mental health crisis also requires more funds to address, resulting in the loss of otherwise productive members of society through depression and suicide. Likely, that is why nearly 60% of all “gun crimes” in the US are suicides instead of accidental shootings or homicides.
Like many parents i took my kids out of school
as they were being taught LBGT stuff about beinga homosexuals
they had drag queens ( transvetsites ) teaching them and kids were made to sit on their laps my boys aged 6 and 8 were told to suck the boys thumb next to them and imagine it was a dick
Not only that but groups of migrants would try to chat to the kids by the school gates, kids were scared of them and most would carry a knife
teachers knew but said nothing
anyone who sends kids to school nowadays needs to get real with how the country is
We have enough technology and excellent content on line to just make school — home school or something like it. YouTube is a good example. Khan Academy is another. Both are good for old guys as well. The real problem in public school is discipline which in a large part is due to the educational environment.
“Homeschoolers Have Highest Life Satisfaction, Better Families, Least Divorce Rates, and are Least Depressed”
It is because they believe in God and are religious that they have these things and not because they homeschool. You need the mothers to be at home full-time to homeschool and for that you need stable families, based on permanent and faithful commitments in a thing called “marriage”, and for that you need God and religion in your life. The main reason such parents avoid the government-run schools and most of the private ones theses days which follow the secular humanist value systems is that they are so very decadent, amoral, corrupt and harmful to kids.
I NEVER allowed my two children to be public-schooled. Why? One, I myself taught math in high school and jr. high in farr west Texas rural towns as well as El Paso (in a gangland HS no less!) and knew I could do a better job than any public school could…at a time it was hard for hubby to find work no less. Two, I used a Christian curriculum (without the Bible curriculum…the kids just read the Bible). Three, we did our own Phys-ed “sports” stuff…and my son is as athletic and strong as a man can be. Four, it allowed my anime-loving daughter to learn Japanese (speaking, not writing). Five, our local area had its own home school group and we did yearly spelling bees and project presentations, including term papers.
Finally, why is home schooling better? Because it’s FAMILY oriented, whether Christian home schooled or not. And “unschooling” can be good as well. And yes, both my kids ar happy and prospering; son married with three kids, daughter getting married in July.
All for homeschooling, mostly because schools have become so bureaucrazy there is no concept of true learning, more importantly, love for learning. You spend the first few years learning to read, the rest reading to learn, a combination (more home/less school) seems ideal, and unlikely.
Many years ago, I tutored a smart high school boy who supposedly had ADHD and had been removed from the school. In three hours a day, he covered the entire daily curriculum provided to me by the school with time to spare. He was polite and cooperative and tried very hard to sit still, mostly succeeding. I wish I had let him run around in mini-coffee breaks, but it didn’t occur to me then. He was no genius, but was bored by the school lessons (so was I) and made high grades on school tests.
When I was in school, I was bored, too. I thought it was mostly babysitting. This experience convinced me how right I was. Public schools sure do waste kids’ time. Who knows how many could be graduating college at age 14 or 16 if they could learn at their own pace and add their own interests to the 3 R’s?
In the 19th century, it was not unusual in British families with governesses for the children to be reading by age 4 or 5 and reading Dickens by age 7 or 8.
Who has gained by dumbing down our schools to the level of day care centers and filling their time with pornography and perversity?
when positive discrimination began
to push black kids up to the level of whites
white kids were held back
i was a teacher and saw a dramatic change when the syllabus was altered to dumb down our kids and i saw kids of 15 and 16 leaving school not able to read or write this was intentional
we have not the LBGT agenda to turn kids into homosexuals
those i know still in teaching say this indoctrination has meant so many parents have taken their children out of schools
Oh No that natzi guy is back
get him help some one please
