Inasmuch as I was making the point that most anyone can, if they really desire, homeschool or opt for private school; and that the argument of unaffordability is usually weak; I’m going to assume you have entirely misunderstood my post.
Hidden taxes are beside the point as well. I was simply demonstrating how the typical budget reflects choices which could be otherwise, if the parents rearranged priorities.
As to my personal experience I’d prefer to keep that to myself.
Please accept my apology. I did miss your point.
Far too many parents make excuses for not homeschooling or private schooling rather than making the sacrifices needed to get their kids out of these moral cesspools.
I do want to point out, though, that renters do pay property taxes. In fact, school property taxes are hidden in every service and good that we purchase. It just sets my teeth on edge that just to survive I must pay tribute to the godless temples of atheism ( misnamed “public” schools). This is what set me off, and I responded to your post without reading to the end.
