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.
That much is obvious! I fully understand you've no intention of reconsidering the choice you have made. However, for the sake of anyone who might be awakened, two points:
there is no welfare when my school tax bill is over $6K (which I have to pay whether I use the school or not...
You have to pay taxes to feed the people on food stamps too. Why not take food stamps? And you have to pay taxes for their housing, whether or not you live in that housing. Why don't you? It'd save you a heap of money, property taxes, utilities...no mortgage...If food stamps were available to you, entirely without strings, would you take them? Of course you would.
Point two. Homeschooling is not a luxury. If you can afford to live in a high-tax region, likely paying 25x the property tax I do, you can afford to homeschool. You just don't want to give up the lifestyle.
It's a free country, you can set these priorities and make these choices, but one ought to be honest about it.
Again, I write this not for you but for whomever it might avail.
PS: I am against killing genius ANY children at ANY price.
