That’s your best response to this comment? That’s a legitimate result of tax incentives. This is an argument that takes more nuance.

My mom was able to go back to work no problem and she is teaching at the university level. She actually gained tons of work experience teaching us and learning all of the ways kids lie and avoid homework. :)

I worked, played sports, played music, went to local homeschool co-ops (which were mostly very religious and I’m not), and participated in activities like Odyssey of the Mind.
