Wealthier parents are more likely to send their kids back to physical classrooms — here’s why

The parents most likely to keep their kids home made less than $50,000 a year, according to a new survey.

School’s out, and for many kids this fall, it’s going to stay out — especially if they’re on the lower end of the income ladder.

On the other end of the spectrum, 27% of parents making more than $150,000 a year will or likely will keep their kids home. They may be paying for “teaching pods” and “private educators” instead. “ Because property taxes and school funding are linked, lower-income parents are more likely to live in communities with poorly-funded schools. ”

No matter how much money they make, parents have a tough choice. If their child’s school is open, they can keep their kids home for virtual learning, a repeat of the spring.
