[TexasJingles]

The state already pays for public education, which is why they are reluctant to pay more for homeschooling.

The only ones I've heard getting approval for foster kids are the kids that get kicked out of school due to behaviors or other problems where they cannot handle any type of classroom setting.

Not saying it can't happen...I hope it does for those that need it.

I'm a public school band director, so every child that is homeschooled, is a child that can't participate in my program. Fine arts are so important to a well rounded education and sometimes that's the last thing included. At least the state of Texas does recognize this to some extent and says that children have to have fine arts (but took away the mandatory number of minutes each week --- not a good thing).
