some kids don't go to public schools for other reasons than being stuck up so lets not be narrow minded private schools/Home school offer a lot of advantages other than being schools for the uppity. I'm not rich or stuck up but struggled (work two jobs) to send my daughter to a private Christian school to teach her humility and love thy neighbor as thy self and get her ready for higher education not to be better than your child. we still pay taxes just like she was going to local county or public school so if she wanted to play any sport, band or any other thing the school offers I'm just as entitled to those activities as your child I PAY THE SAME TAXES.

I look at it this way, if you send your child to a private school and he or she wants to play a sport that that school doesn't offer then you have 3 choices:
1 switch to a private school that does offer that sport
2 switch to and enroll in a public school that does
3 just don't play that sport.

This is on the private school stuff, this thread is not about kids attending private schools it's about where home schooled kids should be allowed to play sports for a public school or not.
Another way to look at it is besides sports are you going to allow these home schooled kids on other stuff to like the debate teams or join the clubs that public school offer. Just seems to me that some people want their cake and eat it too!!
