The court upheld the pause Friday after an appeal from the Biden administration.

Examining the growth of homeschool enrollment in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, PRI has released The Homeschool Boom: Pandemic, Policies, and Possibilities, a new book by Lance Izumi that profiles families from diverse communities and different backgrounds who have successfully transitioned to homeschooling.
“The Covid-19 pandemic forced millions of students to learn at home. Many parents saw for the first time how ineffective traditional schools were at educating their kids,” said Lance Izumi, the book’s author and senior director of PRI’s Center for Education. “With the number of homeschooled students growing to 8 million, my new book shows why more parents dissatisfied with their children’s education are making a once unthinkable choice – the choice to educate their kids at home.”
