Are you of school age? If not, then your ability to walk in is immaterial.
Home school families most often choose the home school approach due to academics. Time after time we see open events that accept all students from an age group won by home schoolers. Spelling bees are a common example.
One of the sticks used to beat home schoolers into sending their kids to the school is sports and other extracurricular activities. Any student in the district of a certain age is eligible to play or participate, unless their parents choose to sacrifice (while still paying the taxes that would send their kid to the school) by home schooling - again, usually for academics.
The state universities are immaterial, as well. In order to matriculate one has to apply, be accepted, and pay tuition over and above the tax based support. With local schools, there is no such requirement to pay extra.
“Any student in the district of a certain age is eligible to play or participate”
Not if they go do a different public school.
Or a private school.
Or have dropped out.
Or have bad grades or poor attendance.
Or are not students at the school.
The last one you cite is no longer true under the new law.
You simply seem to want it otherwise - despite the fact that it is simply a punishment in most cases for having higher academic standards.
Actually where I live...anyone in the community can use the facilities...if they talk to the right people..and get permission.
It's not a problem...and as it should be.
Right.
Anything else you figure I'm responsible for?
Ever show up at a school board meeting? Ever run for a seat on it?
If the answer to either is no, then you’re responsible.
Yeah. Sure. Makes perfect sense.
“Our Florida schools have tons of homeschoolers. They are usually standouts for not only their athletic ability but their behavior. Oh and their parents are usually the first to volunteer and help do the work.”
I have two girlfriends who have both homeschooled their kids (4 for 1 family, 6 for the other!) and those kids are a JOY to be around.
Lesbians are not nearly as offensive as fags.
You both know just how unpatriotic and disloyal the average homeschooler is. I mean they lack the basic indoctrination in American values that their government school peers get. They’re just not cut out for leadership or team sports.
Tell me, are you in high school? Your arguments would certainly make sense to high school students, but not to adults paying high property taxes.
I do believe the individual to whom you respond is having a bit of sport (no pun intended) with everyone on this thread...
The arrogant stupidity is clearly a put on...
“Any student in the district of a certain age is eligible to play or participate”
Not if they go do a different public school.
What a ridiculous statement...if they go to a different high school, they are still participating in the district...
Or a private school.
Absolutely wrong...plenty of private school kids play on public school teams, provided the private school does not offer the sport...
Or are not students at the school.
Absolutely wrong again-plenty of homeschoolers play on public school teams, as many posters have illustrated to you...
I get that other dissenter in this thread is playing games...but I sense you actually believe the tripe you are posting...what I can’t figure out is why you believe it...
