Good.
And why not?
The taxes paid by their parents support the public schools.
yep
Ping to metmom.
Then they should petition the government to waive all school taxes of any kind from homeschooling families.
They would go for that, right?
Why not the parents all pay taxes
I am getting increasingly cynical about high school and college athletics. Maybe it's time to sever the link and make club sports the baseline. Schools could still have intramural sports as a part of the PE program, but perhaps they're not the place for highly competitive athletics.
And let the NFL and NBA run their own farm systems. College football and basketball jumped the shark a long time ago. Kudos to the remaining legitimate student athletes, but the saving remnant has perhaps dropped below critical mass.
The Ohio High School Athletic Association isnt thrilled about the changes.
Probably cause the home schoolers will do better than the regulars and that will PO the coaches and NEA
Virgin kids! Fresh meat for the bi-and transsexual locker rooms. Trust my kids to liberal teachers and their progeny.
No thanks. Take a pass.
Marvelous... Homeschoolers hooking up to the soccer mom welfare train. I don’t care where you school your kids, but if you want them to play games or to be in clubs, open up your own damned checkbook and pay for it yourself. It’s not my job to entertain and recreate the kids you brought into the world.
Parents will have to pay the same fees and public school kids, so the will be opening their own damn wallets.
Oh, yea, and the HS parents are already paying public school taxes.....
Orangedog, you’re junkyard dog ... down boy ...
Excuse me.
Public schools are funded by tax payer money - mine included. Even if you don’t have kids you pay.
So a parent with home school or private school kids living in that public school area is supporting that system with their taxes. So why shouldn’t their kids be able to play on that tax payer supported team?
I noticed two items in the law that I agreed with 1st - Only if the private school didn’t have that sport and 2nd That the parents would have to pay any and all fees the public school kids had to pay.
Homeschoolers already do that, by paying the property taxes that support local schools. Homeschoolers don't get a tax waiver just because Junior learns his algebra at the dinner table.
That’s a silly statement. Academically the home schoolers would likely do better, but there’s no indication they would athletically.
They definitely should have had a home-schooled fourth grader write that press release.
I don’t have a problem with this at all. Kids will still have to try out so only the best will make the teams anyway. It will make the teams stronger.
