Florida parents are taking advantage of an expanded school voucher program championed by Governor Ron DeSantis ®, according to messages from private Facebook groups obtained by Popular Information. The private Facebook messages reveal how parents are using the new
Nonsense. How could they ‘choose to homeschool’ if that would mean they couldn’t afford to feed their children?
And don’t say ‘welfare’ again. Florida is a welfare to work state, that means you can only be on it for a limited time while you look for a job.
The availability of the funds is based on whether you choose to homeschool not whether it makes financial sense for you to do so which us why I keep saying they are in fact available to all parents because they are.
If they will talk to you Ultra Orthodox Jews can explain exactly how you do this as there are thousands of people in those communities who homeschool and have no income.
Again, some people can’t make that choice. Because it isn’t always a choice. You say you don’t think anyone can homeschool, but you keep talking as if they can. Unless everyone can homeschool, there are two tiers because some people are literally unable to access those funds. They do not have that choice to make. So no, they aren’t available to all parents since they aren’t available to poor single mothers working multiple jobs. They cannot make the choice to homeschool no matter how much you think they have that option available to them.
The fact that they have the choice is why I can say that the money is available.
You keep saying they don’t have a choice but they do even if the other option is bad.
The only ones who are denied access to this money are people with no kids or whose kids graduated
This is like saying I have the choice to buy a Ferrari because there’s no law saying I can’t buy a Ferrari. That’s not what ‘choice’ means.
No it’s like saying you have an option to participate in x program but choose not to because of y. No one is stopping you from accessing x other than your choice which is exactly what these people are facing.
So they chose to be poor?
Now you’re just arguing in bad faith. The fact that they can choose to take the money means the program is available to all parents of school aged children.
How can they choose to take the money if they can’t choose to homeschool their kids? The only answer I can come up with based on what you are saying is that they are choosing to be poor.
