That doesn't make any sense. The state pays a certain amount for every child enrolled in the school. If the child is not in the school, the state is not paying for his/her schooling. If the parents are paying taxes AND the child's tuition and fees at a private school, the state is actually making out great.
Texas' laws recognize homeschooling as a private school. One agency told me I was free to put children in private schools, but not to homeschool. It didn't seem to matter if an accredited homeschool program or umbrella school was used or not. (There are some that do all the corrections, grading, report cards, transcripts, etc so the issue there isn't if the children are getting verifiable educations.)
I just don't understand.
