      That doesn’t justify what I was talking about at all. And even in that case, the child gets to play with the swing set after school, unlike kids at public schools.

          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.

              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?

              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.
