Florida parents are taking advantage of an expanded school voucher program championed by Governor Ron DeSantis ®, according to messages from private Facebook groups obtained by Popular Information. The private Facebook messages reveal how parents are using the new
Again- kids at public schools can only play on those playgrounds at recess. These homeschoolers can play with their swingsets all the time. That is a two-tiered system.
And those kids parents can get the same money if they choose to homeschool. It isn’t a two tier system.
Of course it’s a two-tier system. Do you think every parent is rich enough to survive on a single income while the other parent homeschools their children?
My buddy is a poet and his wife works for the park services and despite an income of 50k a year they make it work.
Im not sure you understand how many people who aren’t rich homeschool because they cannot afford daycare.
How does a single parent make it work?
Welfare though I doubt any single parent is homeschooling. In my buddy’s case they are part of an atheistic group of homeschoolers and they share teaching responsibilities.
You think welfare is enough to sustain a single parent so they can homeschool? Really? Do you know how low welfare payments are?
It’s virtually impossible for most single parents to homeschool and I think you know that.
So it’s two-tiered.
No but I don’t think every single social program needs to be utilized by everyone.
Why should people like my buddy’s kid not have access to swings?
Do you support college loans being paid off?
Why should people like a single mother not have access to the same vouchers despite their children going to public school? Or does that particular social program not need to be utilized by everyone?
Yes but for each swingset purchsed using state funds for a homeschool kid provides for 1 student whereas each swingset purchased using state money can provide for multiple classrooms of students.
That homeschool swingset is now private property not useable by anyone else that helped pay for it.
People choose homeschooling, fine. Homeschool should never be funded by the public, unless public school is not available or the student cannot attend for legitimate reasons.
You choose to homeschool? Great, you homefund it, too.
