The Public, Parents, and K-12 Education: A National Polling Report [January 2022]
EdChoice
This poll was conducted between January 15-January 16, 2021 among a sample of 2,200 adults. The interviews were conducted online and the data were weighted to approximate a target sample of adults based on gender, educational attainment, age, race, and region. Among the key findings are: (1) Although there has been an ongoing surge of COVID cases with the emergence of the Omicron variant, the percentages of Americans who felt major disruptions to their lives -- personal, household, or community -- were still near pandemic-lows; (2) In January, the majority of school parents were still comfortable with their children attending school -- despite a decrease compared to the previous month; (3) Based on parent reports, the share of students who have had to quarantine from school increased substantially. In November and December, about a quarter of parents said they had a child who had to quarantine. But in January that number jumped to 37 percent. The vast majority of those parents -- 82 percent -- viewed quarantining as disruptive to their child's education; and (4) In January, three out of five school parents supported moving back to remote learning due to the Omicron variant. Democrats, Blacks, urbanities, and younger generations were the most supportive of shifting to remote learning. Republicans and those living in small town/rural areas were least supportive. This report highlights: (1) COVID-19 and schooling; (2) school choice policies; (3) views on K-12 education; and (4) the survey profile and demographics.
