You make your choices. Apparently living in that region is more important to you.
Public schooling is a form of welfare, not to mention a hallmark of socialism.
Homeschooling is neither a hardship nor a luxury.
Somehow I manage to sleep despite all of the horrors I’ve inflicted on my children; there is no welfare when my school tax bill is over $6K (which I have to pay whether I use the school or not). The Church has decided that education is not a priority (and is paying for that by having to import priests the way the US imports people); my children are raised with the faith but with no sense of responsibility for supporting clergy obviously better off financially than we are. Homeschooling is not an option (it is a luxury); to do so would reduce income to a point where we’d live in public housing and my genius children would be killed for a quarter.
We can debate this ad nauseum; I’ve had plenty of people (with opinions that matter to me) commend the job my wife and I are doing. We’ve more than reproduced ourselves; we’re doing our share.
