11/24 Great School Debate
Quote From: tlmurrIt is up to the superintendent of the district whether to allow homeschoolers in the district to take part in any of the offerings of the public school system. The regulations for New York specifically state that homeschoolers do not have the right to access public school resources. Some superintendents are very good about this and will let some students play in the bands or what have you, but others are not that inclined. I'm confused. How are you disagreeing with me? I agree that each school district regulates the resources available to homeschoolers. In highschool, my sister, who was homeschooled, tried out and made the public school tennis team. Suddenly, there was a big stink about whether homeschoolers should be allowed to play on the public school team. My parents fought the school district on this and eventually won. Not to mention that several teachers and coaches in the school district thought my sister should be allowed to play and were upset with the way the school board handled this issue. So, yes, I realize and agree that school districts differ in the way that they make resources available homeschoolers.
