I don't want go this route... but I think if you gave money towards education, that money is taken and given to another district for other kids, and then you are asked to pay more money for your child's books and supplies you wouldn't be real happy about it? That is eccentially what home schoolers do. Again I have choosen this route and am not complaining, just stating a fact. I realize our taxes go towards many things that benefit everyone, but education is a big part of it and if you insist we benefit from the public education system then you will have to concur that you also benefit from those that home school and go to private schools.
I think with this we need to agree to disagree. Life is not fair, the law was passed, it is now up to you to work to over turn it if you don't like it, you have that freedom.
The fact of the matter is, only a fraction of home schoolers will actually attempt to try out and I'm sure the coaches will only select ones for teams that they are absolutely sure will benefit them. I don't believe spots will be taken from public school students and given to a homeschooler if they are at the same level.
If we get back to the original point of this thread, home school teams have been created and we want to be allowed to play in tournaments. We are not trying to infiltrate your public school teams, which from the sound of it some of you don't want home school kids on the team anyways. PAC parents and most of the players are happy with what we have to offer. But there are some who would be very proud to play for their local high school, they would represent what ever team well and be proud to do so. Believe it or not, this law doesn't benefit PAC or the other home school programs. We are feeling the affects by losing some players and having the privilege of being a part of tournaments taken away.
