Parents react to politics kids learn in school through ‘microschooling’
Microschooling combines homeschooling with traditional in-person classrooms
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Fed up with the politics kids are learning in the classroom, some parents are taking control of their child’s education by enrolling them in "microschooling."
Microschooling is a hybrid form of education that allows children to meet with the teacher and other students several days a week while still being homeschooled.
Rebecca Kennedy, a Nebraska parent, created her own microschool calling it E3 Modern Learning. She started with one student last year and then through word of mouth, she grew to seven.

Kennedy said when a student asks her about politics, she advises the child to discuss that with their parents.
