It's very possible, right now in SC, they only get half the funding for every home school child. They will get full funding for each child if they have them registered in the system.

I find it odd that they are suddenly admitting (in a round about way) that home schooling is the way to go. There has been an effort to bring the home schooling community under the umbrella of the state. Our current laws do not require home schoolers to register with the state. They are required to register with an umbrella group who reports the number of children home schooling and the ages, but not the names or the families. In other words, home schoolers in SC can remain anonymous. The legislature is not going to change this any time soon, so I think this is an attempt to regain some control.
