Really? How about the fact that home school families pay local real estate taxes, state income taxes, and federal income taxes supporting that local government school. Why should they be punished for wanting to provide their children with a better education than is available in those under performing and politically correct government schools? They should get something for their money, shouldn't they?

We all pay taxes, whether we use the public schools, city government, police, fire, what ever. If you want to do an extracurricular activity you should also do the curricular activity of attending that school. There are limited guide lines as far as what constitutes homeschooling. Yes most do a fine job of educating their little one to what they feel is the best but their are those who do not.
from the Department of Education website:
If a parent chooses this option, they take complete responsibility for educating their child .The parent/guardian selects the curriculum and educational materials. There is no state financial assistance for families who choose this option.
For details on Kentucky laws regarding Homeschools please see the information packet available in useful links and documents.

What's to stop parents from "homeschooling" their student then shopping them around to teams?
