Until homeschoolers parents are allowed to opt out of paying school property taxes, they should be able to pick and choose what extra-currecular activities they want for their kids (including: art, music, and sports). THEY PAID THE MONEY.

So what? I pay tax money on all kinds of services that I don't receive...

This kid is taking a spot on the wrestling team that someone who is actually GOING to the school might wish to have.

I strongly believe in homeschooling, but this seems to be a case of wanting to have your cake and eat it too. The student is not subject to GPA requirements, the burden of carrying elective classes which requires more time and academic commitment, nor is he subject to school district rules (other than during his participation in the sporting event).

I believe if he wants to participate in sports, he needs to go to the school.
