If people decide to homeschool their children for whatever their reason, there are rules that they have to follow. It's not like they have no accountability.
Sure, they pay taxes, and the homeschoolers know this, and it is a decision they have made.
I pay taxes and my child attends a public school. That is my choice.
Some of the arguments are ridiculous saying that since the child doesn't attend the school, they shouldn't be allowed to compete in SCHSL sanctioned events and the reason is that we don't get to drive a police car? That is illogical. A child from 6 to 16 is required, by state law, to attend some sort of school. Not everyone is required by law, in all circumstances, to use the services of the police or fire department.
If you want all those sports and coaching supplements to go down the drain, please vote for the tax voucher where people can do whatever they want to with their money. You can kiss many sports programs bye-bye, because that is what will go first, not the educators' salaries.
Tim Tebow...his name ring a bell? yeah...home schooled kid. I am sure am glad that he wasn't able to compete in any HS sports sanctioned events.
