> Texas is working on an amendment that ostensibly cuts taxes on child care facilities to make them more affordable. It's very easy to tell that those savings won't be passed on to consumers. In reality, it's very much more a pro-homeschooling thing. "Homeschool your kids and save on your property taxes".
A 'childcare facility' typically refers to something kids go to before school. I've noticed several other commenters make the claim that those who are not using daycare facilities for their non-school-age children (i.e., the norm up until the late 90s) is a form of 'homeschooling'.
It's not. Raising your young non-school-aged children at home is the normal way people have raised their children
I have no opinion on Texas's law, but it doesn't sound like it's about homeschooling
