So you can’t afford to school your child. If you couldn’t afford the house or food would you expect the government to provide that too?

That's a pretty thin, "If."
Most people work so that we won't NEED the government to supply our housing and food.

The other poster said they can’t homeschool because they work because they need to provide food and housing. They work to provide those needs but expect the government to cover the cost of education. There seems to be a disconnect here. Why is it okay for the government (ie our fellow citizens via taxes) to pay for some things and not others? I dare say that most two income families have nicer houses, cars, meals, than we do. (Not a complaint, I am perfectly content) They can afford those because the government frees the second spouse to work. I know there are alot of single parent families out there so that doesn’t apply. However, I have known single parents that homeschool as well.
