Homeschooling and school choice.

  Homeschooling: where someone unqualified to teach every subject toughs through it and there are absolutely no standards School choice: How we get taxpayers to pay for your kid's private and/or religious education I'm okay with 1 if you admit that you can't teach your kids every subject, and get help where you can, but 2 is unacceptable.

    religious people pay taxes too they're just getting their money back

      That's not how that works. I'm a pacifist - can I get a refund of the part of my income tax that funds the Pentagon? Can people who don't have kids get a refund on their school property tax assessment? If you want to send your kid to private or religious school then you can pay for it yourself.

        A pacifist benefits from the military protection their country has whether they like or not. I shouldn't have to pay for the same thing twice

    > Homeschooling: where someone unqualified to teach every subject toughs through it and there are absolutely no standards And if my wife and I are teachers? With postdoctoral degrees? > > School choice: How we get taxpayers to pay for your kid's private and/or religious education Seems a little more fair than the current state where I pay both taxes for public school and tuition for a private school. You do know that there's lots of non-religious people who want to take an active role in their children's education? > > I'm okay with 1 if you admit that you can't teach your kids every subject, and get help where you can, but 2 is unacceptable. I deny you. On both points.
