Why should people like a single mother not have access to the same vouchers despite their children going to public school? Or does that particular social program not need to be utilized by everyone?
No they don't. If your child goes to public school, you don't get voucher money.
I thought programs should be utilized by everyone? I guess public school kids aren't part of everyone.
If your circumstances mean you have no choice to put your children in public school because you're a single mother working two jobs just to support your children, it is not available to you. It simply isn't. I have no idea why you think everyone can homeschool just because you know someone who does.
You seem to not know what a two tiered system means. A single mother working two jobs has no possibility of accessing that money. Again, you think anyone can homeschool and that is patently false.
Thank you for admitting it's a two-tiered system.
Nonsense. How could they 'choose to homeschool' if that would mean they couldn't afford to feed their children?
And don't say 'welfare' again. Florida is a welfare to work state, that means you can only be on it for a limited time while you look for a job.
Again, some people can't make that choice. Because it isn't always a choice. You say you don't think anyone can homeschool, but you keep talking as if they can. Unless everyone can homeschool, there are two tiers because some people are literally unable to access those funds. They do not have that choice to make. So no, they aren't available to all parents since they aren't available to poor single mothers working multiple jobs. They cannot make the choice to homeschool no matter how much you think they have that option available to them.
This is like saying I have the choice to buy a Ferrari because there's no law saying I can't buy a Ferrari. That's not what 'choice' means.
So they chose to be poor?
How can they choose to take the money if they can't choose to homeschool their kids? The only answer I can come up with based on what you are saying is that they are choosing to be poor.
Huh? That is literally what that means.
Nope. You can still drink milk if you're lactose intolerant unless you can't afford milk. You can't access that money unless you can afford homeschooling or private schooling.
Again, this is no different from claiming I have access to a Ferrari. I just can't afford one.
Except the fact that the money is only available to people who don't have kids in public school, and they can't have kids in private school or homeschool them, so they do not have access to those funds. They simply don't.
Again- a single mother working two jobs cannot choose to homeschool no matter how many times you claim they can. That is not a choice they can make. It isn't. Why you keep saying it is, that's beyond me.
They aren't making a choice. They can't make a choice. They have only one option. Why don't you understand that? There is absolutely no way they could choose to homeschool their kids. None.
How do they have that choice if they can't afford to make that choice? That makes no sense.
