Only those who don’t care about their kids would send them to one of the public programming centers..

...or do NOT have the funds. Everyone cannot home school their children even if they strongly desire to do so.

i unfortuntately was a single mom (divorced for physical abuse. broken nose etc). then in my second marriage i was bread winner. all of my children attended christian school some part of their lives. i just couldnt afford it all the time. i wish i could have home schooled or at least sent them all to christian schools for 12 yrs but i could not. i was too busy working to pay irs and 4000 in property taxes.
the more they take our money the less we can afford to educate our kids the way we want to.

It's been my experience that it's largely a matter of priority and deciding what sacrifices a parents are willing to make to keep their children from the gov't schools. There are many resources out there that help to make it affordable. In ID for example, you don't need to spend one cent.

You’re right, except every kid comes home and there’s summers and grandparents, etc. What’s so great about homeschooling is that it’s dynamic, customized and much, much easier than people think.

Even in government schools kids with very involved and focused parents or a parent perform fairly well. Children are God’s way of challenging parents to live their lives to the fullest potential - no regrets, no poor examples.

You can home school your kids with a library card. There are many online resources that are free to use.
