Ways to Support Homeschooling.

Updated: Mar 24





You can be part of the Homeschool Booster Club!



School choice has been around for a long time. We are fortunate to live in a country where we have the choice to homeschool or send our kids to a private or public school. However, more recently, homeschooling and private schooling have be come more popular and have gotten the attention of legislators. There has been an increase of laws restricting homeschooling, redirecting tax dollars and creating a huge legal mess, which parents have to navigate through.


The Homeschool community needs your help!


We must be diligent in protecting the freedom to homeschool by voting against voucher laws and other legislation harming our communities. Below are a list of practical ways to support homeschooling.


 

Non-financial Ways to Help

  • Share the truth about what homeschooling actually is. Read up on what homeschooling is actually about and why it matters. https://www.homeschoolgateway.org/post/truth

  • Offer to babysit for family members that are homeschooling their kids. That once-a-month date night can go a long way to support homeschooling families.

  • Teach a weekday morning class like art, cooking or fishing for homeschool families.

  • Tell a homeschool mom her hair looks pretty.

  • Be their friend. Invite your homeschool neighbor over for a playdate, our for coffee or catch up over lunch.

  • Send them a Christmas card during Christmas time.

  • Participate in a meal train. Deliver a home cooked meal to a homeschool family recovering from surgery, grieving a loss, or after welcoming a new baby.



 

Financial Giving

  • Buy a thoughtful birthday gift for their child.

  • Support Homeschool family businesses.

  • Support homeschool children entrepreneurs. Buy something from their lemonade stand

  • Support your homeschooled neighbor's Trail Life or American Heritage Girl fundraisers

  • If you run a business, provide discounted homeschool-special pricing.

  • Buy something from their Amazon wish list.


 

Donate to HSLDA

HSLDA (Home School Legal Defense Association) is a very important organization in the homeschool world. They are a group of Lawyers that provide legal protection and counseling to homeschoolers navigating their local homeschool laws. They also provide legal assistance to families encountering law-fare, which is common in the homeschool community. HSLDA also runs a charity that provides grants to homeschool families in need. Check out their website for information on donating or applying for a grant. https://hslda.org



 

Lower the Cost of Living by Decreasing Taxes

Imagine this: what if you only paid for police, fire, and road maintenance and the rest of government programs had a crowdfunding page. Everyone would have the funds to educate their children as they see fit and live freely. So, how can this happen? We can lobby for lower taxes and decrease government budgets. Many American taxpayers are pleased to hear about how DOGE (The Department of Government Efficiency) is cutting bloated Federal budgets. However, there are government budgets we should be cutting at a local level as well. They show up often during elections and we have the opportunity to vote against more taxation.


 

Decrease Funding in Public Schools

The public school budget is excessive and bloated. According to Census Beaureau, the average cost per pupal per year is $15,633. The school system is a known broken system set up to fail, given the amount of the money that is being wasted. Generally, Homeschoolers pay for Public school even if they don't use it. That money should not be taken from families to begin with. We must vote to allow families to keep that money and educate their children as they see fit.

Join the fight against dangerous School Choice laws.

The homeschool community needs your help to stop these laws, including voucher programs. I wish we could be informed voters who simply show up at the polls during an election after researching ballot initiatives. Unfortunately, this is not the case. We must all be proactive and diligent in protecting school choice (education freedom).


Our legal representatives often do not give us as option to vote on many important laws, like school choice bills. Instead, they write and vote on sometimes tyrannical laws in a congressional setting behind closed doors or with limited exposure to the public. This makes it so instead of just showing up to vote a few times a year at the polls, American citizens have to contact our representatives, attend congressional hearings and have elaborate social media activist campaigns in order to protect our freedoms. We have to do this, as our freedom is at stake.


Join the fight. Some bills are good bills we hope to pass and some are dangerous. If your state has a school choice bill out, there is likely homeschool groups organizing practical ways to get involved.

 

Vote NO on School Choice Voucher laws


*DO NOT* support any kind of school choice laws or voucher programs.


We already have school choice. You can go ot private school, go to public school or homeschool. Voucher laws are big government bureaucracy disguised as “help” and do not help our community. Join the fight against these laws.
