Lindajoy, two quick things.
My suggestion for some reimbursement or pay or wh**ever for home schooling was almost an after thought. Many ideas could be employed. It was a reaction to my parents and my sister paying for private school education and the struggles that entailed, in addition to paying school taxes to pay for the kids in public schools. Something is just not fair in that and it needs to be adjusted, but fairly.

And your comment
***"saying she could no longer tolerate the intolerance of a school system gone wild, literally.
>>>And isn't that the problem with the public schools. They are so prominent in some areas, and so highly subsidized compared to alternative methods of education, and coming up with such poor results, under educated kids with entitlement attitude, and ill prepared for higher education in anything useful as far as getting a job. And any time there is only one option, that option starts leaning certain ways with an intolerance towards other thoughts and ideas. And we see that with public schools dominated by liberal l*****t thinkers indoctrinating our kids.

God help America if we don't change.

ImLogicallyRight, I agree with you and was only offering another suggestion such as the tax break.. All doable..Yet I realize just as our p******c emergency crisis standards are antiquated and obsolete so is our” standards” in education and works best for the government, not students.. We deal with a government mentality that likes to enforce what they have massed together.. Getting out of the box dealing with older politicians who don’t brain storm is obvious... Their too accustomed to holding the purse strings using it under the guise of one issue when in fact it is held as their slush fund backup etc..

Education itself should not be a federal government institution..Education is or was primarily a State and local responsibility in the United States... It is States and communities, as well as public and private organizations of all kinds, that establish schools and colleges, develop curricula, and determine requirements for enrollment and graduation... Yet the Federal government worked its way into Education over decades and have literally ruined it.. Do you know they supposedly pay out about 150 billion annually?? I do not believe it but that is what they claim..

I am a states person and believe education belongs under state control who knows Best their citizens and their citizens needs not the federal government... It become big business with little concern to education.. Why my sister in law got out of it..

Knock on her door leaving wh**ever at her door..As do others I might add..

We have a neighborhood online check in blog and it works surprisingly well..if someone needs something and others have it or can do wh**ever they reply and it gets done... It is amazing and uplifting to read showing how humanity rules!!!!❤️✨You also learn about your neighbors that are not right beside you..No one ever too busy to offer a hand when needed..

That's terrific!! So good of you (and your neighbors) to check on that woman (and yay for her that she's out there taking walks with her pup)! That's why you raised such an amazing young man 😊. Yes, I'm very blessed to have my own little community right here in the house AND a big enough home that everyone has their space and privacy, as well as shared time. 🌻🌹🌺

I don't know about that. I think at school is where kids learn to have and form relationships.

I think it was a Harvard female professor who recently came out against homeschooling. Found it.

Our children are guaranteed a public education for our children's sake. That is like saying our children are guaranteed enough food to sustain life. It is more like an insurance policy for when better methods fail. Kids whose parents can't afford better are given a free education at public schools and a free breakfast and lunch.

But, is it better. With the statistics I've seen, Charter Schools, Home Schooling and Private Schools have better results. And I'm sure they will get fed at home.

What is this big thing with Democrats always pushing for a Public Education. Unions and Control and Indoctrination to the philosophy that the Democrats want to instill in your children. They support the Unions and try to get them higher pay and benefits, job security no matter how bad of a job they do, etc, "All for the children" and as such the Unions return the favor with more Democratic v**es. Result: More Democratic power and control of you and your families education and indoctrination and your lives from cradle to grave.

Private schools are often too expensive and available only to those that can afford it. And there are usually waiting lines. They tend to give a better education by being free to hire better teachers and fire under performing teachers. They are also often Religious institutions and run by a Religious Organization. As such they also tend to enforce and teach a more moral society based on helping others get ahead and not just giving a hand out to those in need. And they even do that more proficiently. They are also better at teaching discipline. The Religious based Private Schools also help teach the students on the fundamentals of the religion of the parents, reinforced at home, and with the intentions of building not just educated children, but future adults of good character.

(As an aside, I am a graduate of religious schooling. My high school had to close down. Ever since, the alumni have donated thousand and millions to the religious order that taught them, and also to other schools where this religious order teaches. Pure generosity from the heart. Providing many scholarships to poorer children here and there throughout America. Private education. Yes.)

Charter Schools are also an alternative to the public education. They offer more choices to parents and a more specialized curriculum. They also don't have all of those bull s**t union rules protecting teachers at the expense of the children. And Charter Schools may unionize, but should never be allowed to join or affiliate with Public Employee Unions, or they will ultimately down grade and defeat their purpose.

Home schooling is a wonderful experience for children, often giving them hands on teaching and special care by someone who actually cares for the child, and the results of their special care. They have results that are superior to that of Public School children. I've seen articles from public school teachers complaining that the children they get, aren't being taught some basic fundamentals, before coming to public school, making them more baby sitter then teacher. And now they are complaining about parents doing exactly that. Crazy.

What is needed is free choice, or even a voucher system. That should mean some sort of financial assistance for parents that home school. Assistance to private schools, but only to the amount of assistance given to the public school. Same for charter schools. Religious schools get a slightly less contribution of state money, based on the time spent on general education, and not religious indoctrination. And all of this based on the results of the education given and absorbed by the students, in their pr********n for adulthood and independence. That means some form of universal testing, before and after, on general education and specialties. If you want the money, the State has a right to see the results of their investment.

And yes, the State has an interest in their investment to insure that there is a new generation coming along that can support the State's fundamental jobs, and the society as a whole, that is free to succeed, and make their own personal choices, based on desires and abilities, and not State indoctrination.

I love to hear that at least some parent's will be choosing to remove their children from the clutches of the "Red Menace" public schools.

Too many relationships form around sex and drugs.

Lindajoy,

so you want the previously indoctrinated parents to "educate" their children? Do the "homeschoolers" have to teach to the test as well? I am referring to the perennial complaint of the Unionized Teachers, spineless to really protest the curriculum and force the change.

Do not take it Personally.
