Yes, the kids do face the consequences of this choice of schools which is a choice that I acknowledge should be left to parents, be it public, private or home school. I would not make the choice of homeschool for as others have stated before me, my inadequacies would only serve to hinder my child's education. Having met Chester86 and his wife, I have no doubt that they were up to the task when they chose to homeschool their children. However, as Chester86 and his wife did, a parent in making this choice of school must weigh the potential positive and negative impacts of such a choice. And one such impact, as has been discussed here, is the fact that your choice of not placing your child in public school will mean that the child is not able to participate in the extracurricular activities, in this case the athletics offered by that district, that the public school district offers to its enrolled students. The fact that a parent is still obligated to pay school district taxes even though they make the choice to homeschool their child does not exempt the parent from that consequence. As has been stated above, we all pay school taxes whether we or not we have children attending the school district that we pay taxes to. The school district to which those taxes were paid has fulfilled its duty to the parents of that district by making available the services of the schools to the children of all of the residents of that district. In making the decision to homeschool or for that matter to send their child to private school, a parent is declining the services of that district. Should you feel that is a consequence that your child should not bear, you should do what Chester86 ultimately did. That is reassess the pros and cons of the decision to homeschool, revisit your decision based on that decision making and ultimately reverse your decision if you feel that is best for your child.

Thanks, folks!

Thanks for the input. But I do have one question: Why should I expand coverage in this forum to sub varsity coverage when very few folks express interest in varsity? Yes, I have not done as good a job in keeping up this forum as in years past. A couple of reasons were for that. First, we had teams advance far into the basketball playoffs and, sorry, but when a well followed forum like basketball goes into the playoffs it gets priority over forums that are not, especially when those forum's seasons are not in district play. Second, illness has slowed me down and I am still endeavoring to catch up. To anyone who feels that the girls have been slighted, I do truly apologize as any efforts on my part here are to highlight the play of all, male and female. However, I must confess that I field complaints about the lack of substance in this forum and some others with a bit of frustration as they appear in the forums where there is little interest shown. For example, let's look at last week. There were 67 topics started last week. 64 of them were mine. I had a game thread that covered every varsity softball game in an SETXsports district that was known to me just I do during football and basketball season. 26 of those topics did not receive a reply. Only 8 of those topics have at this time received more than 100 views. Other than the game threads and the standings, and this complaint thread, no topics of discussion exists on the first three pages of this forum. And while I realize that some threads regarding teams in the outlying areas might not be answered, some of the schools that did not report included Vidor, Nederland, Orangefield, Silsbee and West Orange-Stark, all schools with considerable followings on this board. SETXsports has, since it inception, relied on it members to assist with the reporting of scores. We have it that way in football, basketball and all of the other sports and have since this sports site has existed. And I appreciate those in this forum that do follow it, pick up when I have fallen, and post game threads and scores and media folks like Ashly who have been a great resource of info. You are at the games, I am behind a computer and your input is needed. I have operated in this and other of the smaller forums in the past with the thought of build it and they will come. I introduced game threads into these forums with the hope of building some interest in the games. Six years later, it has not happened. I know that I will never get the same amount of replies and views as a football or basketball thread for a game thread here, but when several game threads receive 0 replies and barely double digit views, it is hard to fathom that the solution is to expand into sub varsity areas which will, in all liklihood, also be ignored.
