Just a little side note...LBBC, you do know that you don't have to be Catholic to go to a Catholic school...right?

 

And, we don't bite, and we won't cast any spells on any non-Catholics.

 

The worst you might get is good football, golf, or swimming spells.

Yes, I know that. Your athletic teams are filled with them. :sssh::banana::jump::lol::idunno::popcorn:

 

Well, that one was too easy.:lol::lol::lol::laugh::lol::lol:

 

Seriously, for many the Catholic doctrine is too far away from their religious beliefs to let their child attend a Catholic school. WHile I consider us Christian brothers (I know that the pope would disagree with me there), I wouldn't let my children attend a Catholic school and a doctrine that I disagree with.

I'll return this thread to it's regularly scheduled "discourse". But, that would be an interesting theread in P&R

I think the argument is why should there have to be a choice?

 

That's a question better left for the parents who choose to pull their kids out of the school environment (and the commensurate extracurricular activities that go with it), don't you?

Feel free to start another thread, but you can't say things like this and, even though we have repeatedly told you otherwise), continue to get away with it. That simply is not true, unless your definition of Christian brothers differs wildly from my own.

And we have agreed in other threads that if I don't become a Catholic, the Pope's view is that I will not find my way to heaven. You even posted once information that supported my point. Now, I know you don't share that view but.....

 

ANd my point is NOT the debate of that but rather that is an example of doctrine along with other doctrine that Christians who are not of the denomination of Catholic do not choose to enter their child in a Catholic school.

The only athlethes who don't have an avenue to play organized sports if they are homeschooled are football players. To the best of my knowledge you can swim, play basketball, baseball, tennis, golf, soccer and maybe volleyball on a team that is not affiliated with a school.

I'm not sure a thread has been so far off course..:popcorn:

We have moved it into debate in PM's so we are done with the threadjacking at least at this moment.:thumb:

I wasn't addressing the thread title but your comment about a poor public school was the reason for home schooling.

 

And sometimes there is not a private school that shares their values. In the area of Mason, Bracken, Pendleton, Harrison, Nicholas, Fleming, there is not a Christian, non-Catholic private school as a choice. They would have to go to Lexington for Lex Christian, NKY for Calvary Christian or Ashland for Rose Hill.

 

Your middle point is one of the strongest reasons for not allowing home schoolers to play. No accountablility with them not being in school both academically and behavorial.

 

This is not a totally true statement. Highland Christian school is located in downtown Maysville for grades K -8. Harrison County has a small Christian school as well but right off the top of my head, I can't remember the name.

 

As for this thread, it is my experience that in "some" instances kids are said to be "home schooled" because they have problems following rules in public schools. This is a way of "quitting" without it being labeled that. Under no circumstances should these kids be allowed to play sports because they don't have to follow the grading policies or the discipline policies of the school district. We all know that some of these bad kids could be very gifted athletes.

I was meaning at the high school level. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to clarify.

I have a problem with home schooled kids playing on school teams. However, I would not have a problem having a legitimate team of ALL HOME SCHOOLED KIDS be allowed compete.

Who is responsible for making sure the child is academically eligible and by what standards?

 

The parent who wants their child to be playing going to be the one to declare them academically ineligible?

I'm not saying it's the best situation, nor do I know how to police it... But I do feel that team sports and physical education is very important and would like to see every kid get a chance to play...

 

How do they police the unaffiliated Christian League when they send a team or two to play Calvary and/or Latin?

And the bolded is the difference between making a statement on an Internet board and what the KHSAA has to do. They have to know how to police it and then try to figure out what to do with every potential problem that would occur.

 

I would need to know more about your last question. Latin nor Calvary are allowed to play unaffiliated Christian league teams or the KHSAA insurance is voided for that game and they are in violation of scheduling rules.
