If this doesn’t influence parents to homeschool, I don’t know what would.

Good question. We have more “conservatives” than one would think who will defend their government education welfare entitlement to their dying breath. Of course, as they will tell you, their schools are “different”. The check is in the mail, too....

Do you think anything different would go on in the home of a liberal?

I have 4 kids. I wanted to home school, but to be honest there is no way I could keep up with what they have to learn.
My wife stayed home and became a room mother for the kids classes. She even became president of the PTA.
She was at the school so much that they offered her a job as a teachers aid, but she refused because she wanted the ability to go to my kids rooms and not be sent to where they would put her.

Private schools are about $8,000.00 a year per child. So that was not really an option either. Though my oldest did do that, I couldn’t afford it for the other three sadly.

Then you have to think about colleges and where they can get accepted based upon what they have learned and where they come from etc. It ain’t easy, but we watched like hawks. Still do!
