Do you agree that parents who homeschool their children, should be paid by the government?

I was talking to a friend on here, and he agreed with me. I won't mention his name, because I don't want him to have to go into the witness protection program, for associating with a dirty rotten scoundrel like me.

In my state, it costs about $20,000 to teach a student for a year in a government school. Conservatives are not happy with our tax dollars going to a government school that focuses on teaching crap about pronouns, toxic masculinity, all white people are garbage, and of course, LGBTQRSTUV. Meanwhile, the government schools are saying that math and science are racist. lol

If parents want to forgo this insanity, and teach their own kids, I believe they should get paid. I believe that if this came to fruition, the government schools would be nearly empty. Yes the mafia (teacher's union) wouldn't like it, but tough shit.

So is the money coming from new money or the money that already goes into the school budget?

When your daughter, Jane, goes to the first grade, the government will give that elementary school $20,000 per year.

As my favorite Aussie on this site said: " The money should follow the kid." Exactly.

Jane is entitled to receive $20,000 per year for her education. That money/school voucher will be in YOUR hand. Spend it where you see fit.

If you want Jane to learn about safe spaces, LGBTQRS, toxic masculinity, gender studies.....then hand the 20K over to the public school system.

If you want Jane to be a brilliant surgeon, then hand the 20K over to a private school.

If you feel you are qualified to teach Jane, then put the 20K in your bank account.

None of this will cost the taxpayers an extra dime.

It's all about YOUR choice.
