Expenses

====If you consider the cost of resources that are available in public school, to provide those same resources while homeschooling can cost a lot of money. “Curriculum and homeschooling resources can get expensive”, and those same resources, if not better, are provided at public school for free (Jennrich). The average cost of homeschooling a child is $3,197 a year and that can be a problem with a majority of families today, with the average family earning about $50,000 a year (US Census; Homefires.com). The truth is, your expenses will mount as you try to provide your child with the same state of the art education to make sure they can compete with school goers. “Your true costs will be surprisingly high” (ezinearticles). In the area of technology it is impossible for families to replicate the extensive equipment provided to a child in a traditional school. Even if your a high income parent, with vast resources, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to match the resources avalible. If you choose to home school and have your child benefit from the same resources as a public schooler, you will be amazed at how high the total cost is.====
