Sorry your state is poor. It sure helps the pocket book when the tuition is free, LOL.

LOL?

The tuition isn't free. It's just that someone else is paying it for you.

Well actually, I don't look at that at all.

I've paid property taxes for the past 24 years.

My child was homeschooled, so I never took advantage of public education dollars that are allotted by the state taxes and local property taxes.

So it's my turn, as a homeschooler, to reap some of the benefits of my educational tax dollars.

IMHO, the major inequity in the program is that since I pay the same taxes as the public student parent, why are the books for the public school student free, and I, as a homeschooler, have to pay for the books.

I'm not up to "fighting" the inequity, but it does exist.
