How do you properly fund or oversee useful spending for homeschool? I like the rest, and glad the folks of the state itself voted to open the enrollments, but that item is glaring for questions.

So you're worrying about Home School instead of the GIANT problems right in front on you? Public ED is crap, focus on fixing that. Worrying about a small segment that tends to do a great job is ignoring the bigger pic. Just saying.

It's a tax credit. You do it the same way you handle any tax credit.

I know here in Arkansas homeschoolers will get just a small portion of what everyone else is getting. Which is honestly fine. We looked at renting our homeschoolers out to people for manual labor instead of educating them. Then we would just pocket the states money and get rich. Turns out they aren’t handing much out.

Relax Francis, the state isn’t going to go broke throwing a few hundred dollars a semester to homeschoolers to help with an online class or two.

Wouldn't end of the year testing at a state facility be beneficial? Maybe if your kids in the 5th grade all year and funding is successfully given and he fails miserably at the end of the year on standardized testing- you don't provide any more funding to that family until that child is caught up.

How is the $15,000 per student spent in the public school system being overseen? Any chance there might be any waste there? Surely not, it is the highly efficient and accountable government after all.

If a homeschooler receives money I am fine with some accountability, but let's do accountability across the board.
