DeSantis program gives up to $9000 PER CHILD to families that “homeschool”. So if you have 4-5 kids, that’s $36,000 to $45,000 per year. He says that Florida has more homeschooled kids than any other state in the country — 155,000 of them.

They can use the money for TVs (up to 55”…), kayaks, theme parks…swing sets, stationary bikes, treadmills, surfboards, woodworking supplies, animal husbandry supplies, gardening supplies… etc.
