      How can they choose to take the money if they can’t choose to homeschool their kids? The only answer I can come up with based on what you are saying is that they are choosing to be poor.

          The fact that they cannot take the money because of other circumstances does not mean they are being prevented from accessing it.

          Huh? That is literally what that means.

              Nope. You can still drink milk if you’re lactose intolerant unless you can’t afford milk. You can’t access that money unless you can afford homeschooling or private schooling.

              Again, this is no different from claiming I have access to a Ferrari. I just can’t afford one.

                  Except the fact that the money is only available to people who don’t have kids in public school, and they can’t have kids in private school or homeschool them, so they do not have access to those funds. They simply don’t.
