Your first paragraph is based upon a misreading of my example. I said the private school doesn’t have a team.
Unless you know of a state where there are no school taxes, everyone pays to go to school. Some people even pay twice, for public AND private/homeschool. Kids who don't attend the school should not be barred from participating in extracurricular activities. I mean, how else will they be "socialized" to society's expectations?
...and which one was that?
it looks more like government school is having it both ways... receiving money from people who have no children attending government school...
Votemout, honey, how old are your parents? I think most public school restrict the participation to kids aged 5-16 or 18. That may be part of the problem. ‘Sides that, doncha think your mom would look kinda silly playing the cello in orchestra with a bunch of 6th graders? ;)
Perfect answer to a snotty statement...As well as some of his's/her's later responses...
Makes me wonder about votemout's agenda here....
Why not? Assuming they have not graduated from high school they are eligible to take classes and play on the sports teams. There is no age limit.
should consider that when you ecide to pull your children out of school.
according to the logic on the thread, they are entitled. They pay taxes.
not so many that you can’t scan back. It’s still there.
You’re nuts. I am absolutely certain that if I went over to the local community college and applied, I would be accepted, would pay my fees, and would have the same priveleges as any other STUDENT.
You don’t seem to understand the difference between mandatory elementary education and voluntary secondary education.
And I certainly wouldn’t go in waving my property tax forms and bellowing that I should get something everyone else pays fees for.
We pay taxes for a lot of things we don’t personally get to use. Don’t blame me. I’m for vouchers.
, but, honey, she pays taxes.
The freedo0m is in the decision to send your kid and not send your kid. There is no freedom to use the resources of a school you don’t attend. That’s why some of the states had to pass laws to allow it.
I didn’t realize that you were suggesting that your parents be allowed to run around loose on a high school campus. That’s totally ridiculous.
As a parent, I certainly don’t want some strange adults on my child’s campus.
Makes me wonder what people do when they can’t engage in the dicsussion. Ask vague non-specific accusatory questions about the other guy’s motives. I wonder what your agenda is?
No, I was just adding on to it.
If private school student wishes to plays sports for a public school that has his sport, then he’ll play in whatever school district the board assigns him to (probably the one he’s in).
BTW: i don’t know a lick about soccer but if they have it for AAU then he should go for that.
My parents are not strange. The example was used to counter those who earlier said that if you pay taxes you are entitled to use the school’s resources and engage in school activities. I have explained this to you four times. If you have a new point make it.
Just saw your name calling. Goodbye.
