That’s quite the straw man you are attempting to construct in multiple posts.

Then get out of those parents’ wallets. See how this works?

Yeah, I'm not responsible for the tax codes or structures.

See how that works?

Fact is a few homeschoolers want to avail themselves of athletic
programs while expressing disdain for the associated schools.

Well, if they are so much better than everyone else, they can fire up their own teams.

What seems to be the hold up? Where are those homeschool teams?

The word will come down from the teacher's union that none of the home schoolers make it through the first cut.

Your argument is slim to non-existent.

Wrong, Jackass.

People that hate McDonald's should not demand Big Macs.
People that hate local schools should not demand to be on the football team.

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 simply meant that you get the benefit of your stock rising in value. You also get the opposite if it tanks. Of course you don’t get the bennies the CEO gets. You don’t get the ones the school superintendent gets, either.

Right, until the first time a home-schooled kid runs the fastest 40 ever at the school and they try to take him away from the coach!

Well.. if they are just too good for school then they are too good for the football team.

So go make your own whiny little petunia football league.

He wouldn't be "at the school".

He would be at home with his mommy because he CRIED when someone tried to put him in with normal kids.

Jeez, Gunner, who pissed in your cornflakes this morning?

What happened? Did one of your grandkids get beaten out of a starting position by a homeschooler?

Sorry.. it just seems retarded to cry about hating something
and then demanding to be a part of that same something.

No need to apologize ... but you just seemed a little bit (how to put it) .. edgier than normal.

I've seen what "normal" looks like these days and I am profoundly not impressed. Moreover, the athletic programs of a school are not related to the education provided.

I'm willing to bet you know zero or very few homeschooled kids to make them out as abnormal crybabies. There's a reason this topic rages you out - curious to know why.

I don’t know where you live, but in Wisconsin, children who attend private school are allowed to ride the school bus with the public school children, and certain text books are paid for for private school kids. I think that they are also allowed to participate in scientific labs, etc. This law pertains to HOME schooled children, putting them on an wqual basis with private school children.

Who I do or do not know is irrelevant.
My point is that disdaining the school but demanding to be a part of its athletic program is hypocritical.

If you hate the school, stay out.

I think HG knew a homeschooler once who had a blog...

It is quite possible to have huge issues with certain aspects of the public school and still see value in the sports programs. To think otherwise is to fail logic 101.

Using emotional words like cry, hate, and other things is simply a way to cast a negative light on homeschoolers. This isn’t the first thread HG has cluttered up with his irrational thoughts regarding.

I wonder what the correlation is to homeschoolers wanting their son to play for the football team and the team’s success. “No son, you can’t play for the football team. The school is a den of iniquity filled with people who worship Satan, but worst of all, the team sucks.”
