A bump for homeschoolers-on-a-shoestring-budget.

I don't think we can afford to test right now! Maybe that's why the "less affluent" homeschoolers are underrepresented in these stats? I know we'd rather spend our limited funds on solid resources than testing.

All the home schoolers in our co-op are pretty broke. We trade curriculums or buy it used for a couple of $$$. I know very few people who spend hundreds (or thousands) on new curriculum. We role pennies, cook from scratch, buy our clothes at thrift stories, etc.

But hey.....we're the happiest we have ever been as a family because we're TOGETHER, so I'm not complaining.
