Here’s a new motto: Homeschool- It’s cheaper than riding the bus! This article is about a school district’s bus woes. The HS conncection?
There may be an alternative. Under Missouri law, districts may bus ineligible students if a parent or guardian pays the district’s transportation cost. Last year, the cost of hauling a student was $385. Phillips [a parent of one of the affected kids] said she would be willing to pay, if her finances allow. “It may put me in a situation where I have to home school,” she said.
HS for less than $385/year?? I know some HSers can HS on a shoestring. We haven’t managed that yet. It’s my fault entirely. Before we HSed, our kids were in a fairly pricey private school. When my lovely wife decided to HS, I uttered those fateful words: “Unlimited Budget”. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea MAXIMA culpa. Actually, she’s really quite frugal and purchases only what she feels she needs. It’s still much cheaper and, of course, a much better education, than their old school.
