Are You Paying the “Scholarship Tax”?

  Why families in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, and beyond are paying 20–50% more for homeschool supplies — and how to stop it. If you are one of the thousands of families using a state-funded Education Savings Account (ESA) or scholarship to educate your child, you might be noticing a disturbing trend. The money in your account seems to disappear faster than it should. https://medium.com/@ahermitt/are-you-paying-the-scholarship-tax-5e2f63500ef7
