I sent an e-mail asking them to reconsider. Giving them the benefit of doubt I'm thinking maybe they want the 1000 dollars to go to a school and not the individual. I suggested that if a home schooler won , the money could be donated to their home school association or an educational institute of their choice (a library, a local college scholarship etc)

If that is their intent they should not have held the contest this year. The ad agency that proposed this idea is out of touch with Subway’s market. If his goal was to have less customers.... he just succeeded.

Maybe, just maybe Subway wanted an incentive for public schools as a good thing?

Face it, how hard is it for a homeschool curriculum to incorporate an extremely narrow focus, such as when some of them focus on spelling bee competition?

I really don’t understand why homeschoolers get any satisfaction from competing with public school programs since homeschool is essentially the same as being tutored.
