If you think the public school is SO great, you should welcome homeschooler's into it, at least part time.

I do. If they attend the school and remain eligible for extracurricular activities, they can march in the band. As the article points out, letting this girl participate effectively exempts her from maintaining the academic and behavioral standards that enrolled students have to maintain. Sorry.

If homeschooling parents want their kids to participate in marching band, they have every right to form their own.

Homeschooled students also have grades to maintain. If they don't accept the parents grading system or the states evaluation system, then the school could require some sort of test. I'm sure the girl would have no problem with it.
