"They do and have for a very long time."
Understandable, and true. My point to this, however, is that if this type of promotion of pulling away from Public Education is going to be offered as alternatives, private Christian schools need to be affordable to those who really do need it, and some curricula would be great for those who can homeschool.
Currently most Religon based private schools are financially unobtainable, especially for one income families. There are financial aid cases each school in our area offer, but my children will graduate before making the acceptance list.
Personally, I am a homeschooling Mother of 3. That is why I can base my opinion that not everyone is capable of homeschooling. It's hard work, we've sacrificed financially, and it can become BEYOND stressful at some times.
I would certainly love the assistance of the Church, as my school expenses come straight out of our pockets, with no tax break of any kind, and we still have to pay for the PS's failing school system.
