      It is your choice in theory that determines whether you use it. Single parents are not barred from the programs.

          Go back and read my posts. I said available to everyone and they are available to everyone. If your circumstances mean you cannot avail yourself of them that does not mean they were not available.

          Is that really that hard to wrap your brain around?

            If your circumstances mean you have no choice to put your children in public school because you’re a single mother working two jobs just to support your children, it is not available to you. It simply isn’t. I have no idea why you think everyone can homeschool just because you know someone who does.

              Your confusion seems to be what available means.

              The state is not preventing single parents from accessing it. It IS available to the single parent. The only people who cannot access this are childless people.

                You seem to not know what a two tiered system means. A single mother working two jobs has no possibility of accessing that money. Again, you think anyone can homeschool and that is patently false.

                  I don’t think everyone can homeschool. I never said they could.

                  A single parent being unable to afford to homeschool does not mean the money is not available to them. The money is available but their circumstances prevent its use. That is why I said your confusion is over what “available” means.

                  Your inability to homeschool does not mean the program is not available to you. You could choose to homeschool and get the money if you want.

                    Thank you for admitting it’s a two-tiered system.
