Far more families can afford to have one parent live at home than we give families credit for. The question is would that family give up 2 cars, vacations, etc. to home school their kid. The answer is generally no, but for those parents that do homeschool, the answer is yes.

What? A family should give up that 2nd car? What are you.... some kind of commie? Convenience is America's middle name!

It's not all a matter of money. Some children do better in school than at home. Some parents are happier with their kids in school than they would be homeschooling. It's an individual call, and "school choice" also includes the choice to *not* homeschool if the family doesn't think it best.
