Now if there were a trade off between paying “school” taxes or using those funds to send kids to private schools, I believe most public schools would be virtually empty.

You really do? Sadly, I don't believe it.

As for financial ability, what has that to do with it? Homeschool doesn't cost whatever one pays in property tax. Private school generally costs more than one pays in property tax, so the voucher, even a full refund, wouldn't cover it.

There are innumerable excuses for doing wrong, and sending children to public school is very wrong indeed.

“You really do? Sadly, I don’t believe it.”

There are quite a few families who would love to have their kids get a decent education. Unfortunately they are at the mercy of the bums who are aided by the race pimps who curry favor with the local dems pols and/or the education industry. Most of them are not able to home school either from a financial or ability standpoint.

My personal experience was I attended church grammer school and public high school. Neither school had “junk” or “fad” courses. Close to 90% of my high school class in 63 went on to college. Granted it was a different era. Sending my child to such a high school I would not consider wrong and frankly resent the inference that doing so was wrong for my family who was not well off or able to provide as decent an education to the one I received. As I said, I don’t have children so I have no dog in the home school/private/public school arena. However, I do believe one gets their moral and ethical foundation at home and should also have their foundation ABCs by the time they attend schooling.
