Closed National equipment fund for parents who home-school children

Closed on

I took my children out of school because I believe the education system is a mess and has no discipline and I want the best for my children. Home-schooling without any state support to help pay for equipment, materials and stationery is hard.

Parents that choose to home school should be able to get funding for their child just as a school does, even if this is just equipment and materials to use. I love home schooling my children but getting simple things like paper, printer ink, pens, work books and reading books becomes extremely costly. All parents should be able to get financial help with these things.
