We all pay taxes for public schools including those who send their kids to private schools. That' doesn't mean the kid from the Catholic school down the street is in the PS 101 band.

I agree with the rest.

But, as I pointed out, the NY homeschoolers are required to REPORT to the public schools. According to HSLDA, they even must follow requirements on what to teach.

The parents of that kid down the street who attends Catholic school aren’t required to submit forms and report to the superintendent of the public school system. If they were, the public schools should offer services to that kid, too.

The public schools want to have it both ways: They want to require homeschool parents to submit to the public schools but then deny them services. At the very least, if the public schools want to deny services to homeschoolers, they should stop intruding in homeschooling.

Oops, I think I misread the line above. I thought you meant you agree with the rest of the posters. You meant you agree with the rest of my post. Sorry about that.
