Doesn’t matter to me, I’m still planning on homeschooling.

That's a choice one can make and I too went this way for awhile, but don't think you may do this the entire time as life rings uncertainties so at least think about others who can't homeschool and are not wealthy enough to choose a private school. You still pay taxes regardless. On another note, I have learned from experience that homeschooling isn't always the best method especially when it comes to social skills. I'll advise against it to anyone who asks. Let your kids grow up and learn what the majority of kids learn and have fun and be a kid.

I am wealthy enough to send her to the best private schools. They are still not good enough. My husband and I have (combined) 9 college degress and I taught at a private school.

She can get social skills in other activities and Home school groups so that argument is false.

They need to think about themselves and their children. For far too long people have relied on schools to rear their children. We do not. Sadly I do pay school taxes and that won’t change although I do support exemptions for those not in public school.

God forbid I let my daughter be influenced by foul mouthed children with liberal parents who have little morals (such as the local school). I grew up as a little adult with a checking account at age 7 and a once a year allowance from land rent who had to budget and pay my own medical bills and private school tuition. That may not be ‘kidlike’ but it taught me to be a productive, successful adult rather than a snowflake, whiner, or live in my parents basement until I was 30.

You forgot the little part about socialist/communist indoctrination and radical egalitarian social justice peer pressure. Not to mention the homofascists nihilistic marerialistic worldview that repudiates moralism, the word of God, and the rule of law. No thanks. I prefer a fun, family friendly, God fearing home school where kid can learn their social skill and graces from adults and not little goose stepping SJWs
