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.

If they are forced into home schooling their children, then yea I could see where that might be appropriate. If on the other hand, they choose to go that route, than no, that is something they have volunteered to do on their own. Of course, I believe the best approach is a combination of the two. My wife and I both kept active in our children's education, and ensured our values were passed on to them. Now that they are all grown, and successful in their chosen occupation, it seems that our approach worked out very well.
