You decide to opt out of the public school system with home schooling, and you expect a tax break. I opt out by not having kids, and you want me to pay full boat. Is that fair? Let's make it simple. You pay X as a taxpayer to support public schools. A homeschool family pays X to do the same. They also pay Y to buy materials to homeschool their kid. That leaves a slot in the school system. If you give the parents a tax break of Y, you end up with a slot in the school system worth more than that Y value in the first place, and both of you still pay the X base cost. How is that unfair?
