"The homeschool families are paying their taxes, their property taxes, their local taxes, of course, their state and local taxes, and a small percentage of those go to the state and federal departments of education, and an even smaller percentage back to the local schools," explains Will Estrada, director of Federal Relations at the Home School Legal Defense Association. "But then the homeschooling families are not using services from the public schools."

You can say the same about parents with children in private schools. It's a choice they make not to use the government provided option.

Now I get it. Charging people with no kids for schooling other peoples kids is THEFT. Right?

Some private schools cost more than a semester in college! I checked where my nephew went in late 70’s - it was $18K for KINDERGARTEN! That’s ridiculous!
I wasn’t homeschooled, but I never saw the inside of a government school, except for typing class during a summer session.
