I received this via the Los Alamos-Homeschool Group, we will continue to monitor Valerie Bonham Moon of HEM's research on tax credits and information from around the country:
Tax credits for homeschooling familiesJanuary 7th, 2008 A couple of days ago, I posted a link to a (1998 vintage) HEM article about tax credits: Are Tax Credits for Educational Expenses a Good Idea for Homeschoolers? Some points in the article are:
credits are for government approved qualifications
“If state legislatures and the general public can be convinced that tax credits … are a good idea, they will gradually … accept the general idea that it is all right for the government to give money to private schools.”
“It would be difficult … for us homeschoolers to participate in a system of tax credits without being influenced by the government’s ideas about education…”
“If we agree to tax credits, we are agreeing to let the government determine which expenditures qualify for tax credits and which do not.”
“If we wanted to receive tax credits, we would have to make sure that at least part of our homeschool (the part for which we wanted to receive tax credits) conformed to public school standards.”

Two cows standing next to each other in a field, Daisy says to Dolly, "I was artificially inseminated this morning."
"I don't believe you," said Dolly.
"It's true, no bull!" exclaimed Daisy.
