Let me see if I get this. I don't have kids, but I pay very significant taxes to educate other peoples kids. Now you want to give a tax break to those who choose to home school so that my taxes will be higher? So you don't think it's in the state's interest to educate everyone? Are you advocating getting rid of the public school system? I don't think your taxes would be higher anyway. Home schooling is more efficient, so removing that child from the public schools would save the state more money than any possible tax break would use. It would be a net win for the state. I forget the figures for NC, but the state spends a crazy amount of $$ on each kid's education. I think it was more than even private costs were (but I may be wrong on that one). It's certainly more than the costs of giving homeschoolers a deduction on the books and materials they buy. If you thought I was advocating that parents of home schoolers should completely avoid education taxes, then you misunderstand me (and I agree, that would be extreme). Brian
