March 31, 200620 yr For those that think the child should be allowed to participate: Should the home-schooled child be allowed to come to school for AP Math? Should the child be allowed to come to school for choir? If "no", please explain and explain and compare it to the football scenario.
March 31, 200620 yr FairFan - look at the quote I quoted THEN use that context for my quote. If your basis is that home schoolers should be allowed because you pay property tax in that school district, how is that different than my scenario? Because you are saying, your sending your kid to one school, but playing football for another right?
March 31, 200620 yr Because you are saying, your sending your kid to one school, but playing football for another right? I am saying EXACTLY what you are saying: I pay taxes in a public school district. I choose to educate my child some place other than the public school whose district I live in and pay taxes in. What's the difference?
March 31, 200620 yr I am saying EXACTLY what you are saying: I pay taxes in a public school district. I choose to educate my child some place other than the public school whose district I live in and pay taxes in. What's the difference? What you are saying is that you are going to enroll your kid in two different schools. Whether one is private or not, you cant do that.

Should the child be allowed to come to school for choir? If "no", please explain and explain and compare it to the football scenario. See? I find that extremely worthy of consideration. When I was in high school, I went to Holy Rosary. We weren't too far, geographically, from DeSales High School. Because both schools were very small, the schools pooled resources and offered classes at each that the other school's students could attend. So, for instance, I took Advanced Phyisiology at Holy Rosary. There were about 10 boys in my class. Reciprocally, for my Advanced Biology class, I went to DeSales for instruction. As to extracurricular activities, well, I guess I feel those are extracurricular, and that if a student chose to be homeschooled, they should still be allowed to participate in the school's extracurricular activities. To use my example again, I was also a bit of a drama queen in high school. :lol: Not really, but I acted! We, again, partnered with DeSales in our productions. I'm not sure that pooling resources is such a bad idea. If a school isn't able to offer everything their students may want in the way of classes, why not pool resources with another school to provide the classes? It would alleviate 2 (hypothetically it could be more) schools trying to find the resources to offer extended curriculum to a few students by consolidating the interested students in classes together.

From the KHEA Home school participation in public school activities Home school participation in public school activities is governed by local board policy. At the present time there is no prohibition against a home school student taking classes at the local public school. Local situations vary. Contact your local school for details. Current regulations prohibit home school children from participating on athletic or academic teams sponsored by public schools.

March 31, 200620 yr Are they allowed to participate in public school sports as well? I don't believe they are. The last line of HHS's quote addresses that. Notice it says "current regulations. Sounds open to the possibility of change.

Am I the only one that doesnt make sense to. You can take classes there, but not participate in extracurricular activities..:confused:

March 31, 200620 yr Are they allowed to participate in public school sports as well?Last sentence of the quote says no. Makes you really wonder if schools are about education or something else. "We'll let you take our classes but we won't let you play on our teams."
March 31, 200620 yr Last sentence of the quote says no. Makes you really wonder if schools are about education or something else. "We'll let you take our classes but we won't let you play on our teams." OK, so I'm not the only one that doesn't agree with that. It makes no sense.
March 31, 200620 yr OK, so I'm not the only one that doesn't agree with that. It makes no sense. I agree with you as well. Sorry....I didn't make that clear.:thumb:
March 31, 200620 yr I agree with you as well. Sorry....I didn't make that clear.:thumb: Quite all right.
