Should Homeschooled Kids Play High School Sports?

I'm no advocate of home-schooling, by the way. I just helped coach a golf team in my spare time, and learned the rules from the coach employed by the high school.

 

OK to continue to be a pest about this . . . admittedly I am clearly wrong, thanks for the input PP and papag just let me know you have been in that position . . . golf coach huh, shouldn't have told me that and taken my money on the course, I'm an easy target when it comes to golf.

Q: Is it that the HS allowed these kids to golf and swim (because it was the right thing to do) or is it that the private school kids had a right to try out and be considered equal with other students?

 

I have no reason to bullshit you on this or anything else. Sometimes, there are people who know what they're talking about. I wouldn't post in a thread like this one if I didn't know what I was posting, in terms of accuracy.

 

Try-outs, of course. If they can't make the team, being in a private HS, or home-schooled, doesn't matter. They're treated the same as any other athlete, except they don't go to school at the high school.

 

Hey you just admitted in this thread that sometimes people feel you argue when you don't have a clue . . . how am I suppose to when that is? But I've been reading you posts for years and finally caught on about how sure you were and deferred. Could of just started out you were an assistant coach or whatever and have dealt with the situation.

Also, you threw me off for a while with the whole other name thing (don't throw it back you know my situation is completely different) . . . but I'm slowing understanding your vibe (most of the time) . Besides, you wouldn't BS a poster who got you tickets to a Blazer game. You won them and I donated them so really a thanks isn't warranted . . . but it would make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

 

I think that sucks for the students at the school. I would be pissed if I missed out on a team because some private school doesn't offer the same sport at their school. So kids get to go to private schools on their parents dime and to add insult to injury, they take their country club life golf and tennis skills and bump some public school kid trying to develop their game from limited playing time.

 

I didn't write the rules. Discriminating against a private school kid could result in a lawsuit against the school district, so it's all merit based in the sport I helped out with.

 

I know I'm getting old, but when did I win tickets to a Blazer game from you? I remember buying some from mgb to bring my youngest daughter to her first game, but I'm drawing a blank, KMD. Was it years ago for the Dallas playoff game?

 

See PM

 

My kids are homeschooled. Honestly I don't care if they are allowed to play high school sports or not, but we are still paying fully into the system which we do not use. My theory is that the state will not change the rules because the demands of some sort of tax breaks would probably grow as a result.

 

You have issues.
