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.

I hate to disagree because I love your reasoning but home schooling is a right that you are able to choose.
Just like going to court. You still have to pay your own way to do it.
Man ... That sounded convoluted even to me and I wrote it. Huh.. LOL

I'm not sure what you mean by the court thing, but if your son, Timmy, puts his but in a chair at Fredrickson Elementary school, that school will get 20K from the taxpayers.

If you choose to teach your own son, I think you should get the same 20K. Either way, it wouldn't cost the taxpayers a single dime extra.
I realize it's hard to imagine something that's never happened, but that's how we went to the moon. :)

@JimBeam LOL. Yeah I even lost myself in my comment.
Probably should have just skipped answering but I think I thought I had something to say.
I do understand where you are coming from so don't get me wrong. Maybe like a child tax credit type thing. I should stop while I'm still semi afloat.
