[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't consider homeschooling kids an upper middle class thing to do. That's something poor people and super religious people do. If you are living in an area with great schools, you send your kids to the great schools. Why wouldn't you?

Your kids will probably not have the same opportunities you did thanks to their homeschool education. Their peers will have the advantages that come with graduating from some of the best school districts in the country. Why wouldn't you want to give them that edge?[/quote]

And this has to do with their finances how?   I wouldn't choose homeschooling but that isn't really the point of this post.[/quote]

Presumably because wherever they are living does not have very good public schools, making their housing costs that much more affordable.  OP has never said where he/she is, but I live in an average school assignment (not Bethesda or McLean), and my house still cost more than $500k (and it's nothing special, believe me).  To the poster recommending Hyattsville and Mt. Rainier, I agree, those are great places to live and get in on the equity train.  The problem is if you have school-aged children (or will soon), you may not like what you find in the schools.  [/quote]
