Enthusiasm for private learning options grows gettyMy neighbor has had enough of Zoom schooling and halting district reopening plans. She is removing her child from public school to homeschool this spring and will enroll her in a private school in the fall. More edtech startups, such as Expanse Online, have emerged to meet the demand of parents for affordable and enriching online education.

With a renewed and refreshing sense of ownership over how their children learn, more parents are opting out of their local public schools for better options.
