$9K is insufficient. This number must be much higher and anyone homeschooling should also be exempt from paying various taxes (maybe federal, maybe state or local).
But a parent who leaves the workforce cannot afford to do this now yet they sacrifice and homeschool for the good of their children and other children in their neighborhood.
This is a nice gesture (at this political point in the administration’s tenure) but wholly incomplete and not enough!

🚨 BREAKING: The Trump administration is reportedly drafting a plan pushed by JD Vance to give federal child care funds to married couples with a STAY-AT-HOME SPOUSE while the other parent works — NYT
The program could be $9K per year for these families
The goal: make it easier for married Americans to let one parent take care of the children, rather than both work and pay others to take care of the children
This could create an incentive for parents to "stay at home with their children"
Apparently, this is similar to a MARCO RUBIO proposal when he was Senator 👀
It sounds like this would be under current federal programs, not new laws passed by Congress
Holiness starts with the small, seemingly insignificant things. Whether gardening or cutting firewood, doing it to the best of your ability matters to God. True holiness begins with mastering the small.
