Unlike public schools, formal homeschooling programs or traditional private schools, nearly 9,000 private schools in Louisiana don’t need state approval to grant degrees. Nearly every one of those unapproved schools was created to serve a single homeschooling family, but now some have buildings, classrooms, teachers and dozens of students. They may represent a small percentage of the state’s students, but those in Louisiana’s off-the-grid school system are a rapidly growing example of the nation's continuing fallout from COVID-19 — families disengaging from traditional education. https://lnkd.in/gBsKPrEn
