Yes and no. They do want the money and they don’t care about what is truly best for children. But there is more, many in public education practically foam at the mouth when they discuss homeschooling. They honestly believe it is dangerous and shouldn’t be legal. We’ve experienced it first hand. My husband lost his job of twenty years due, in part, to the fact that we homeschool.
They’re afraid home schooled kids will be taught conservative theories vs their liberal lies. I was home schooled and glad of it.
