Well, I don't want to be disagreeable here but anyone should be able to scale back their lifestyle so as to be able to live off one income and have one parent homeschool.
It is really far easier than you think. Out here in Southern California, where the schools can be really, really horrible, in addition to filled with leftist gasbags, there is a huge homeschooling community that helps even the most timid and fearful parent learn how to successfully homeschool.
One of our three has been homeschooled. My wife was terrified at first, but my son had special needs and it was essential that he be pulled out of regular school. [We are blessed financially, and my other two are at a local Christian school.] He struggled in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades, and we homeschooled him from 5th through 7th. My wife did a brilliant job. Yes, it was work, but not really that hard.
So, please, don't make the rationalization you made so quickly. It CAN be done. Check it out.
‘We are blessed financially’
Most people need two incomes these days...lucky you. Also, once the use of homeschooling them and then sending them into the world...not a great world. Maybe we should try to make things better instead of running away.
That’s wonderful. Maybe more parents could do it. Maybe we need PSAs telling parents how to get more information on home schooling. I know there are many parents who are probably interested but just think it would be too hard. Churches could promote home schooling, too. But I still think we have to be willing to fight to take back some balance in the public school system. We can’t abandon the students whose parents just can’t home or private school their kids.
