I ended up being evenly split between Buddhist and Catholic, which seems rather odd.
Much of your "homeschooling things learned" above hold true for us here in California, but not the If you never sent your kids to school, you don't have to tell anybody they're home with you. In California, and in much of the U.S., if your child is born, your child must receive a birth certificate and Social Security Number; if your child has a Social Security Number and Birth Certificate, then your child must attend public school, private school, parochial school, or make an accounting to the State Dept. of Education of how one is educating this child.
I know a few people who have had unattended homebirth for the express purpose of having their children undocumented in the Government's records. But my kids are on the books.
California government will not reimburse any homeschooler for anything, and the average cost per student in public school here is (last I checked, 4-5 years ago) USD $11,500. I'm saving my district a bunch of money by schooling my kids at home, and in recent years the district has figured this out, and actively encourages parents who wish to homeschool. As long as they don't want anything like support.
