If you as *a* home-schooler had $1000 to give to a total stranger what would you do with it?

I answered Oprah's question and it is lost in the tens of thousands of other answers. I've been rethinking my reply and would like to change it. So, I've adapted the question to fit only home-school people.

My answer is this: I would use it to help a family get started in home-education. I would take them to a conference with thousands of other home-school families and I would buy them the Robinson Curriculum, a good laser printer, all of the paper and pencils that they would need for 12 years, The First Reader from Eagle Forum, flashcards, plenty of classic literature and fuel for going on field trips.

Update:

Thumbs down????? Wow, I'm sorry if this question bothers you!

Just think of how much money people will have left of their own to give away when their students succeed with college advanced placement credits..... Pay it forward by planning ahead!

Update 2:

Okay, I'll buy some new Lego toys for Mike. With one condition! He has to play nice and quit being so hard on the home-school students.

    number 1 besides the usual things you should do with it is make sure they are a needy family and are in need for the 1000 to help them in schooling

    My 10 year old son said he would give it to a homeless shelter for food and clothing.

    We have been volunteers at a homeless shelter for 4 years and this subject is near and dear to our hearts.
