We mustn't chastise homeschoolers as hiding."
Nothing wrong with homeschooling. It's homeschooling and then not participating in the public school system which is taking their money to, in some cases, use it for a flawed system.
Sitting at home on FR bitc*ing about doesn't solve the problems. Hence, I'll hide my kid at home, you take my tax money and spend it anyway you want and I'll complain to people who can do nothing about it. LOL
Actually, you should add that some of the ed-libs want to take MY tax money so they can use it as welfare to subsidize their kids' private education (even if they can already afford it). Even some homeschoolers are getting into the act, feeling that they are "entitled" to the funds because of their extra time spent (I thought that was a part of raising kids). I wonder if I should get on the bandwagon and ask the government to reimburse me for the 1000's of hours outside the classroom that I spend for my job. Maybe a lot of people in other jobs could do the same. Maybe I could get reimbursed for helping that little old lady across the street when I was a boy scout or that time I volunteered at the homeless shelter.
Let's see - my local school district spends $12k a year to educate every child in the district. Could I just have $10k of that to send my kid someplace I'd want her ?
Hello, they're taking YOUR tax money and spending it anyhow. Why do you care where it's spent as long as the kid is getting an education ? Isn't that how public schools started ?
