They can’t get tissues or hand sanitizer or whatever without bribery. And that’s pretty sad.” The schools have plenty of money…the fact is that those in charge are greedy and use it for their own personal gain so the school doesn’t see the money! Each child that goes to school allows the school to receive several thousand dollars! What do they think we are? Stupid? Maybe we should put a big “I” on everyone’s forehead because the school system thinks everyone is an idiot except them! This is absolutely ridiculous and just another way for the school system to try and get homeschooled children into their system!

Sending a child to a government run school is not cause for such action, but it makes the provision of a Christian education much more difficult. We have a few families who send their children to Christian schools; the vast majority home school. Texas is a GREAT place for home schoolers – very favorable laws, lots of support from churches and home school groups.

Parents simply need to make wise, Christ-centered decisions with finances so they have the freedom to obey Him is other areas – such as child rearing.
