We hear about other single parents like you and we applaud you. We homeschool as well and struggle financially, but we will never, ever, put our children in a public school. We will sell our home and move out of the state if that's what it takes to continue homeschooling our children.
Amen to both of you.
Speaking from my personal experience as a single parent child (parents divorced, my father was an abusive alcoholic and my mother sisters and I were subjected to domestic violence) my mother juggled the bills to keep food on the table, sometimes it was impossible. The state said she didn't qualify for assistance because she worked and wouldn't file for child support from my father, he never tried to file for custody and she was afraid for him to find out where we were.
Some days, If it wasn't for free lunch at school there would be no meals. That wasn't a regular thing but sometimes it would be that way for a week or so.
Anyway, why should we surrender this nations educational system to the radicals? What they're foisting onto society has no business in the schools primarily.
