[Truth]

If the schools are inferior why would a non student want to play sports there?

It is difficult to take your query seriously but I will attempt to do so. Your government schools are, with the exception of a few schools like Highlands and Beechwood, academically inferior to private schools and home schooling. However, home schools don't have sufficient students to field athletic teams. Thus, if the students are to participate, it must be with a local school- private or government. Now, since these home school parents likely pay local, state, and federal taxes to support the government schools, their children should be allowed to participate in sports even though the applicable government school is likely inferior academically. The void in academics doesn't effect the home schooled student. He/She merely wants to exert his/her right to participate in athletics. Academics, or lack thereof, is a moot point.

Since all this is reasonable, it will never happen. The government schools will continue to fight it because they are not getting the daily allotment for those home schoolers. Thus, the welfare of the children is lost in light of the pursuit of the government school for extra money. As usual in government education, it is all about money and never about serving the populace.
