That's very interesting. I've never heard of home schooling parents receiving money in the US. That certainly wasn't how it was done in the area where I was home schooling.

I don't know if I would want to do it that way, myself. I wasn't happy with the way the local school system was handling my son when he was in school. I don't know if I would want them to be in charge of how I schooled him at home. In fact, it's almost a certainty that I wouldn't.

But I guess I don't understand why parents would go to the trouble of keeping their kids at home all of the time just so they could get a couple thousand dollars per year. That's not much money for the added hassle if they didn't do it out of concern for their kids' education.
