No, and probably never will be. Or they'll want too much supervision. They already demand a lot, it could only get worse.
The unfair thing about taxes on people who send their kids to private school, or homeschool, is that they're paying for the product twice. Everyone who doesn't use the system, like people without kids, is getting a raw deal. But at least they don't pay twice.

Yeah, that would be bad. What do they demand now? Standardized tests I'd have mixed feelings about (I believe in educational standards but not in the federal government designing them) but could grudgingly live with them. Supervision of curriculum I'd object to more strongly because the teachers unions would be likely to try to build some PC crap into the curriculum.

That's why I was wondering. To me it only makes sense to give tax benefits to homeschooling familes. I used to write articles advocating vouchers for private schools and I see the same arguments applying to homeschooling.
Sure we do...kind of. Ever try training college grads who can't add without a calculator or couldn't write a grammatically correct sentence if you put a gun to their heads?
