On July 17, 2009, by jrj90620 - This could revolutionize the country.With the advent of the internet there are so many possibilities to greatly improve education in America.If we could just get beyond the self centered greed of the education establishment this bill would do much to turn around this nation in decline.

On January 06, 2011, by Trina7 - I oppose this bill strongly. I homeschool my 8 children. I do not want any 'favors' from the government, for when the government gives it also takes. Giving a 'tax break' will only mean more regulation. In order to get the tax break one will have to have an approved curriculum and most likely testing. Just because Ron Paul suggested it doesn't make it a good idea!
