I think some of the replies that add "poorest" may have taken your comment too literally. Truly there is no greater treasure in the world than be able to spend that amount of time with your child. We have some neighbors who are not too well off that homeschool their kids, and they are the most engaged and loving family I know on our block. It makes me smile any time I see them interact.

This is exactly the type of situation ttul seems unaware of. The "only rich white people homeschool" trope is a myth from people who are unfamiliar with the much more complex reality of the situation.


I am sorry. But if you are rich enough to have one parent stay home and school your kids, you are rich by any reasonable measure.


Does being at-or-below the median family income for your location make you "rich by any reasonable measure?"
