    My concerns would be the same as many on here. First, grades. I know many home school parents do a great job, but some do not. As a former educator I know that many children who come back to public schools after being home schooled have fallen far behind. How could you be assured a child was passing all his classes and that those classes were at the same level as the public school classes. Also missing the athletic period. It would be unfair for a kid to participate that missed all the hours of work that the other kids did in the athletic period. However, if those two problems could be managed I would have no objections. Some parents just get mad because they or their kids don't get their way and pull them out of school and often do very little actual schooling at home. Other parents really believe in the concept of home school and do a great job of educating their kids at home and it would be great if a fair system could be worked out for those kids to participate if they want to.

    I agree with Tigers2010. We need to protect officials and the UIL needs the authority to see that they are protected.
