• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

I've followed quite a few people who have started homeschooling their kids or are advocates for home schooling, and they all have the same general message that if we want to fix a broken system we have to remove our kids from the system. That sounds great but if I homeschool my kids, my property taxes still include money going to the local public school so I'm wondering how does that solve the problem? Is there a way I can get out of them if I homeschool my kids? I haven't been able to find a good answer to my question which leads me to believe there may not be one.
Depending on your state and income level, you can use vouchers to offset the cost of homeschool (curriculum is more expensive than one might think).

There are also a decent amount of co-op or university-style blended programs (2-3 days at school, 2-3 days at home) that also take vouchers.

Indiana has a pretty good system.
