Perhaps even more, considering that the outcome of homeschooling is a net positive and not a drain on the community like many of the public schools 'products'.

Public education needs to be challenged in a competitive marketplace or its hegemony and power (of taxation, indoctrination) will never diminish.

Not if it raises my taxes they shouldn't. Just saying. The govt is too stupid to set this up in a way that won't be massively abused.

You think it will drive taxes up? Any attempt to increase school taxes after this would be transparently shot down IMO because the rationale for increasing the taxes is "need to build new schools to support more students" but here we are taking away students from them.

Set it up in a way that no school board can abuse; i.e. it is illegal to tax any more than X% of appraised value, or any increase in tax counts double for the incentive (so they bleed more every time they try to hike).

Here in Texas school boards are forced to hold referenda for tax hikes.
