Yeah, the local evangelical Christian school around here is about 5,000 a year. Wow. The average cost of homeschooling varies from state to state, but in Arizona, the range I got was between $500 and 2,500 bucks per kid. So another advantage of homeschooling is it's cheap. I did this as an unemployed single dad for a year. People in the 75 to $100,000 range

income bracket are the most likely to homeschool, with the very poor being a close second. That's people making below $25,000 a year. And I think there's just this sweet spot of affluence where it makes more sense to homeschool than to send your kids to a private school.

And then there's just a whole bunch of families who take the hit on a second income, have moms stay home, and that's what accounts for the lower end of it. It's also probably a function of a fact that the biggest state for homeschooling is Alaska, which famously is not a very affluent state.

I don't think there's much of this going on, but there's maybe other forms of abuse and neglect. In any event, it doesn't strike me as a compelling reason to have An invasive bureaucracy for policing homeschooling. I'm reminded of the Mark Twain quote about censorship is the philosophy that a grown man shouldn't be able to eat steak because a baby can't chew it.

Are we just going to make all of our laws about the absolute worst people that exist? The rest of us responsible people have to like suck it up. I think no. We actually have statistics about the overlap of abuse, neglect and homeschooling. And there's a really disturbing study with a really disturbing title called Child Torture as a Form of Child Abuse that addresses this.

There are some things I won't do even for money. The people who wrote this study got some pretty solid statistics on abuse and homeschooling. And people taking their kids out of government schools because teachers notice abuse that happens. It's pretty rare, but it does happen. There's a super sad case that you can read about if you have a strong stomach.
