And considering that only 40-60% of the funding the schools get for each child makes it into the classroom, there's lots of money that goes to the beauracracy that is the public school system. The more kids they have, the more they can fund that money sink. Getting all the money they can is not about providing more services or a better education to the students.

Yes, we are saving them money by not having to provide all the overhead costs for our students, but the costs they incur educating our kids is less than the amount of money from the state so they're actually losing money, which is why they get their bloomers in a bunch so often over homeschooling and "unexcused" absences.
To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.
