> We have some neighbors who are not too well off that homeschool their kids

This is exactly the type of situation ttul seems unaware of. The "only rich white people homeschool" trope is a myth from people who are unfamiliar with the much more complex reality of the situation.

I am sorry. But if you are rich enough to have one parent stay home and school your kids, you are rich by any reasonable measure.

Does being at-or-below the median family income for your location make you "rich by any reasonable measure?"
