Good at least you’re consistent. There are many who feel I shouldn’t get a break, only them. Just to set the record straight I’m not opposed to homeschooling but I also do not share the strong opposition to public school either. ( I went to a good public school and I don’t have kids). I would approve of the tax reduction route as opposed to the “cafeteria” plan with the school. If the child isn’t a full-time student of the school they shouldn’t participate in the sports programs, too easy to bring in ringers.

Fair is fair. Single folks should get some kind of tax break.

I attended public school...but back in that day they were still treaching reading, 'riting, and 'rithmatic. Since the 70s, publik skools have been dumbed-down Indoctrination Centers for social change, socialism, and functional illiterates.

I understand, but the innocent and legit children of taxpayers shouldn't be penalized because a few "ringers" evade the filter.

And that is a legitimate concern.

But that can be addressed by requiring the homeschooled student to only play on the team for the district in which they live. So attendance at the school is not mandatory, but it still prevents the schools from recruiting from other districts.
