This would have killed the family budget
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Ours too!

One of the reasons we could afford to homeschool was the savings in clothing. They kids were satisfied to wear fewer clothes, and those clothes were most often from the local Goodwill. I could completely outfit a kid for sometimes less than $50 a year. ( Except for shoes that were from Payless and underwear).

The savings in clothing alone paid for the homeschooing expenses.

Personally....If lobbyists want to fight this, they should get the homeschooling crowd activated. All the homeschoolers I knew ( and currently know) are very dependent on the thrift stores.

Wintertime has a good point here. Although this isn’t a topic specific to homeschooling per se, it certainly will have the kind of impact she sees on homeschooling families, so......

PING!
