Tebow Bill: Should HS home schoolers be allowed to play Public School sports?

torQQue Wrote:Our sons do get social interaction, but no where near what a kid attending a public/private school daily receives. They have several friends and family members around the neighborhood from their age group that they interact/play with. They also play city league sports. Another bonus for us is they are brothers, and are constantly interacting together as well. We (as an entire family) attend almost every Elementary and High School sporting event at our home town, and they interact well with kids there too.
For example, they attend sleepovers, go bowling, parties, swimming at public pools, play at parks, attend movies, fish, roller skate, play bingo, attend carnivals, cookouts, go hiking, go to church events, trick or treat, hide eggs, take friends on vacation, play city sports, have bake sales, etc,

We do have some concerns, but as of now, they seem to be developing just fine socially. It also helps that my wife was a psychology major; she will/can recognize and correct any social development issues, before they lead to any social psychological problems. However, we (as parents) are involved with their social development, and I don't think we will ever have any problems. I can see problems arising when parents that homeschool fail to get their kids involved in social events and activities because kids and even adults need social stimulation.
sounds like you are doing all the right things, keep up the good work!
