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'm always leery when the government starts handing out money. There's probably strings attached somewhere. "Keep your money and stay out of my business" works for me.
Here we had to jump through the religious loophole but at least the state mostly looks the other way and leaves it up to the parents how to go about educating their kids.

@robb65 if parents dont like the school system they should go to meetings or run for the board of education

@JimBeam If they pay parents to teach their kids they will want to tell them what, how, and when they teach. Then of course there will be the parents realize they can get paid for pulling their kids out of school.
