You can not homeschool when you need to go to work.
You feel it as a penalty. I think it is a necessity. People pay
taxes (indirectly) based on their income. People who contribute less
than they would have to pay for tuition benefit from the public school
system. This is the whole point. Of course, this assumes public
schools provide the education they are meant to.

Yes, it is the responsibility of the parents to care for their
children. But, how about those who are unable to? Those who are
unwilling to should get their children removed.
