Not when both parents need to work to cover household expenses.
I don’t mean to be insensitive, but this is a concrete example of a child being bullied to death, perhaps because the parents both insisted on working so that they could avoid a crappy lifestyle of poverty. Looking at the situation now, perhaps they would prefer a crappy lifestyle of poverty — with their daughter.
Sometimes you can’t afford NOT to homeschool.
I work and homeschool. I know many other parents who work and homeschool. I know many other parents who live on a very small budget due to one parent working. Life is about choices.
