RIGHT! I recall Betsy DeVos saying years ago that if you take public funds for your school, then you will be considered a public school. I'd like to believe she was warning us, not threatening us. Either way, DON'T TAKE PUBLIC FUNDS.
That's like saying, don't accept tax break checks like what trump gave. becuase then you are working for the government. That money was yours to begin with. Now you just get to choose what to do with it instead of it being chosen for you.
Unfortunately, that is not true. By using money funneled THROUGH the government for your homeschool, you make yourself beholden TO the government for the way THEIR money is spent on education.
It's absolutely an issue that needs to be fixed, but until there's a better way, homeschoolers should not seek to invite the government into our schools.
Yes, and it has NO ties to the way I educate my kids. Monies dogeared for education DO come with strings attached. I don't want my homeschool to fall under the purview of the DOE, therefore I will NOT accept funds from the government which pertain to education.

Aren't you funneling money through the government when you get a tax break check ?
