I would agree in a high trust society. However all that would happen with a tax break society currently is that the dregs would keep the money, then demand someone else educate their child for free. School vouchers at least removes the public education plague and allows for invested interests like charter schools to fill the gaps for people who can’t or won’t homeschool. Parental involvement will always be king, but in our current society we need some mitigating factors as a stepping stone.
Okay, how about a voucher system where homeschooling is one of the voucher options but this option is only available to married people with family incomes above $100k/yr.

Money is fungible. If you give these people their tax money back, they will pay for school. GP is talking about worse parents.
Two things can be true, ok? Parents have a broad right to influence their children's education, and the kids of bad parents didn't do anything wrong to be denied an education. That's why money is taken from taxes and put towards students so every student has something to bring to the school.
It's somewhat statist, but it's a lot less statist than what happens now. Going from government-run to free for all often leads to corruption. I am totally fine with shrinking government in phases.
As a responsible parent that wants control of my child's education and who doesn't believe women should be working, I don't want my wife doing anything except home schooling and I don't want to pay for an education system that doesn't benefit me. In fact, given that many women work at these institutions earning an income, their mere existence goes against my moral values. I should not be forced to pay for them. Even many private schools and catholic schools are woke monstrosities.
I fail to see what's wrong with allowing married parents with sizable income to get all their tax dollars back in the form of the "voucher". It should not only go toward schools but also parents that want to home school. By limiting it to married parents with a sizable income we'll pretty much cutout most bad parents from having access to this. A few will slip through the cracks but not enough to matter.
I guess I was misinterpreting the aim of your policy. As long as there's some way that innocent poor kids can get an education, while respecting the primacy of parental rights, I'm all for it.
Should you pay for prisons even though you're not a criminal and they don't directly benefit you? Well sure, because you're better off with thugs off the streets.
Same idea with schools (which today are kind of like prisons), you're better off the more educated people there are.
The problem isn't that childless or home school parents are paying for education for others, it's that they're paying for indoctrination and everything but education. End the teachers unions, bring back merit, competition, and consequences for kids and teachers both.
Like if teacher pay was scaled to how well their kids actually performed then they wouldn't even have time to teach woke shit, they'd be too busy trying to keep their jobs or get that bonus by actually teaching.
Well micro schools are also popping up too fortunately , I would argue vouchers across the board, while homeschooling should definitely have a requirement factor
