Well, I have to admit, I'm happy that New Hampshire dropped the homeschool reporting requirements.
I honestly never thought Connecticut would go full psycho on homeschool families, but here we are.
It's going to be interesting to see what my Connecticut homeschool friends do now. Are they going to stay and deal with all the new insane and ridiculous oversighr, or are some of them finally going to pack up and head somewhere that look at the evidence that comes from the success of homeschoolers?
Meanwhile, New Hampshire is moving in the opposite direction and giving families more freedom. Imagine that.
The only thing that would make New Hampshire even better would be if they created a program like Florida's Step Up For Students and actually gave some of that education money back to the families who are doing the work themselves.
Seriously, why not?
In some towns, public school spending is exceeding $20,000 per student. There are school administrators and specialty DEI positions making six figures, yet many parents tell me their kids are spending huge portions of the day on iPads and computer programs.
Meanwhile, homeschool families are paying taxes, buying curriculum, paying for co-ops, tutors, sports, music lessons, field trips, and everything else out of their own pocket while saving the state money.
Wouldn't it be nice if homeschool families received at least $10,000 per child to use toward their education? If the money is supposed to be for the child's education, why shouldn't a portion of it follow the child?
I have a feeling the next few years are going to be very interesting for homeschooling in New England.
