Believe it or not, it’s the Associated Press that has published the feel-good story of the day.

If there’s one positive thing to come out of the mess of the last couple years, this might be it:
The coronavirus pandemic ushered in what may be the most rapid rise in homeschooling the U.S. has ever seen. Now, even with schools back open and vaccines available, many homeschooling families are sticking with it. https://t.co/hB3DzSTQOv

More from the Associated Press:
The coronavirus pandemic ushered in what may be the most rapid rise in homeschooling the U.S. has ever seen. Two years later, even after schools reopened and vaccines became widely available, many parents have chosen to continue directing their children’s educations themselves.
Homeschooling numbers this year dipped from last year’s all-time high, but are still significantly above pre-pandemic levels, according to data obtained and analyzed by The Associated Press.
Families that may have turned to homeschooling as an alternative to hastily assembled remote learning plans have stuck with it — reasons include health concerns, disagreement with school policies and a desire to keep what has worked for their children.
“The coronavirus pandemic ushered in…”? Actually, the government’s reaction to the pandemic ushered it in, not to mention the teachers unions and many more.
Because people are finally, clearly seeing the indoctrination, and they're taking back control of their children. https://t.co/dQ7Mb5dK8E

If I had kids, I would home school them. I would not have said this just five years ago. https://t.co/XYEABbnWtV

The Left has contributed big time to destroying public schooling.
Maybe the only good thing to come from the debacle of govt #COVID19 policy. 👇 https://t.co/ZvYRJsjGhA

That could be.
Just like the supply chain and economy…it wasn’t the pandemic that caused this huge shift.
It was the government reaction to the pandemic. https://t.co/b7fw71xhHd— Marty (@woodyfarley) April 14, 2022
Now we’re talking.

If you think about it, the teachers’ unions have been contributing big time to their own possible demise at some point in the future.
