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.

There is no expectations of the government to provide education. They take the tax $$$ to do so from us all regardless whether we homeschool or not.

Unless there's been some laws changed that I am not aware of.

What I'm saying is that everyone's situation is different. Sure, some can do it with little or no issues. But some families are hanging on by a thread.

Scolding for, "Shouldas, couldas and Wouldas," helps little.
