How long educators can keep that up is largely determined not on the detractor's enthusiasm, but on the dependents' willingness to be weaned from the system. Americans addicted to two incomes can't home school, for example.

Many of our families choose this option for their children (at least for their older children) because it provides them with the ability to psuo-home school their children while still bringing in two incomes. We provide a service that empowers parents who are "addicted to two incomes" to educate their children at home if they so desire. Therefore, innovation also helps to break down barriers to the "dependents' willingness to be weaned from the system."
