"You mean you want me to give you money to educate your kids? Shouldn't that be your responsibility?"
Yes, but I'm constantly being inundated with requests to buy cookie dough, books, bags, delicious doughnuts, candles, candy, raffle tickets, carbonated beverages, and other random crap from your public school child. Save the soup labels, box tops, and cut the corners off the pancake mix for my child's school! Doesn't my tax money help pay for their education?
With our fundraiser, you can get some original one of a kind artwork and maybe even the story behind it. Or not. And I'm not going to send my kids over to your house with puppy dog eyes and an order form attached to a clipboard.
We're going the cheapest route possible, not buying a set curriculum, getting everything used, planning to re-use the same learning materials between children, and DIYing whenever possible, but the first few years can get a little expensive (not to mention stressful) for most homeschooling parents. Sure, I could do it all myself and put everything together on my own. I tried that, and between my jobs, three kids, and the actual act of educating the children, I started going a little batty. A person can only handle so much before she starts thinking about ways to put a saddle on the mutt and using him to raise the children.
