Oh ok.. then to participate.. have them take a test. Too easy.

Great point. I don’t think opting out of property taxes is the answer. In this scenario, people that don’t have kids aren’t really part of the equation because they don’t have a dog in the fight. Here, property tax payers pay for a service to be provided to their children.. but aren’t able to because they disagree with other aspects of the education system. I guess I can put it this way.. you want a pizza.. but the only type being served is a supreme pizza. You hate mushrooms… why can’t you order it without mushrooms. BTW, I don’t have an answer.. I’m just curious what the logical counter arguments are. 👍

Great come back.. bravo.

FYI, According to the National Home Education Research Institute, homeschooled children usually score 15 to 30 percentile points above public school students on standardized tests.

Do homeschooling families pay property taxes that fund schools? If they do, why can’t they use their tax monies to benefit their family..

1. Sports should have tryouts.. everyone doesn’t make the team. Crazy idea.. especially nowadays.

2. Have the homeschoolers take an academic assessment test to qualify for school activities.

3. Most homeschoolers still have cooperatives that are set up in a “school setting”. Homeschoolers homeschool because public schools are failing kids. Over-crowded rooms, questionable curriculum and poor allocation of school funds are just a few reasons why parents look for alternatives.

Wow! Thanks for the heads up. We will look them up!!

Thanks for the suggestions! We will definitely look to join those FB groups!

Thanks for the suggestions. We've been homeschooling for 12 years now across several states. We're all too familiar with state requirements. We we trying to stay secular. But we've been a part of many secular homeschool coops before.

We are a military family. Been stationed primarily in the west coast.. we’ll be moving up there from Houston.

Thank you. I did see that on my google search. We will check it out!

Yes we are. My boys have completed in several tournaments and want to continue. Finding an active and competitive dojang is important.
