My family and I cherish the education we are able to provide at home to our children. As a former public school teacher, I can honestly state that my children are learning way more at home than they would have using the public school curriculum. In addition, homeschooling has allowed me to focus in on some of my children's personality, behavioral, and spiritual needs and development. Please, Indiana state government, lead the way for unimpeded homeschool education!

Government doesn't need to decide what's good learning material for our children. The whole reason I homeschool, is because I do not agree with what is taught in public school!

I'll take tax credits but no tax payer funded redistributed monies. The reason we home school is to keep the bureaucratic governmental mess from effecting our children's educations. HB 1591 is not what we want and is in effect using our monies to bribe us to submit to government oversight that we're not interested in. No to HB 1591!

I like being able to teach my kids what I want. They do not need to be force-fed stuff they don't need.

Public school was a disaster for us because the curriculum did not work for our daughter. The freedom of unregulated homeschool allows me the ability to teach her the way that works best for her. The freedom of unregulated homeschool allows parents to seek medical attention for their children where public school hours could pose a problem.

No government intervention in homeschooling! A government hand out expects government control. No thanks!

While homeschool and private school families save the government tens of thousands of dollars over the academic lifetime of each student AND that a little compensation would be helpful, I do believe believe the cost of government supervision and mandates is worth it. Vouchers only end up hiring in this case!

A parent knows and loves their children best of anyone else in a child's life! We don't need government assistance, regulation, or oversight to do what's best for our God-given children. They are ours, not the state's!

Homeschooling in Indiana works. Keep your state money, we don't need it!

As a veteran homeschooler of 20 years I love Indiana because of its homeschool liberty. Please don't fix what isn't broken. Deal with the real issue: truancy.

Homeschooling should not have to be "public school at home." Parents, not government, should decide what is best for their own children. No government regulations for homeschooling!

I love homeschooling in Indiana because I love being able to choose what the best course of study for each of my children. I hope that this can continue without government funds or oversight.

I'm for free choice when it comes to educating our children. I'm against government regulations for homeschooling.

Homeschooling works! My homeschooled children handled college and are citizens any society would want.

We value our freedom to direct our children's education according to the dictates of our conscience, not according to government regulations..
