Hi Sandra — that's true for double headers as noted above, but some schools only have girlsRead More still alive in the tournament, so their games begin at 7 p.m. Thanks for reading — good luck tonight! Erica

Exactly, so that one's failure to exercise such common sense has legal consequences. It's alsoRead More common sense not to murder another person, yet we still have laws against it.

We got this from a reader: Would you be able to add our race to your article? It is the Saint LukeRead More School Wildcat5k and Family Fun Run. Our website is www.wildcat5k.org. This year will be our 6th year! (Note: That race is Sept. 28.)

If I read this right, sounds like the educational staff in Loundon did not do the crew sport anyRead More favors in this discussion. Maybe these two achool administators job roles should be evaulated given the fact that as high school educators this does not set a good example of encouraging viable activities!

So then where does it all end? Show up and play a sport this year. Then next year some parents willRead More clamor for their kids to be allowed into the public high school's AP chemistry class because the parents can't teach that to the kids and "they need it to get into college." Then parents will say, "Let my child into the public high school drama class because she wants to apply to colleges for drama school." And eventually it will all snowball until home-schooling parents are cherry-picking not just the sports they want for their kids but the academic classes, extracurriculars and other things that they can't teach their kids themselves or via a homeschooling network, or they'll insist their kids be allowed into classes that improve the kids' abiltiy to get into certain colleges. The "Tebow bill' is about football, really, but it is the thin end of the wedge and would open the door to these parents pressing for their kids to pick and choose what they like from public schools. School is not a menu from which they can order what they like. If the Tebow bill ever passes it's going to create a mess for academics, not just sports, down the road. And don't argue, "But that's not happening in other states that do it already." Just wait.

You are wrong. It ends when all students (public and private schooled) are allowed full access toRead More all services at public schools paid for with the taxes of all citizens. This is the new leading edge of civil rights! Stop treating the home schooled kids like they belong at the back of the bus. Just because they opt out of full-time attendance at the local public school system does not mean they opt out of society. Being home schooled does not mean you opt out of all public school system services. Their parents pay for the "three-ring circus" we call public schools. They are entitled to cherry pick and choose (academics, clubs, sports) those services they want for their kids. Get used to it! Private schools will likewise recruit (i.e. cherry pick) public school athletes for skill positions getting short-shrift on their respective public school teams. Get used to that too! VHSL, whether they like it or not, will get used to it too! The VHSL monopoly will end! Its not a mess. Its life in the modern world! The old paradigm is kaput!

It is about tolerance! It is about multi-culturalism! It is about diversity! It is about acceptingRead More those different than you! You cannot discard those students who are being home schooled like they are second class citizens. When their parents pay for it, they are entitled to it however they see fit! They can choose to use it all. They can choose to use not of it. They can pick and choose whatever elements theyt want for their kids. That is the American way. When did we forget about that!

Sad to see Del. Brink voting against common sense. These kids have parents who pay taxes as much asRead More anyone else. There is NO good reason they shouldn't be allowed to participate in sports. Three more cheers for Barbara Comstock.

What happens when a home schooler is cut from the team? Will the parents sue because of someRead More perceived bias? What about the fees that every high school team requires of participants? How will the home schooler receive notices if not in the school? Current athletes must meet academic standards, How will the home schoolers satisfy these requirements? Which high school do they try out for, or will this lead to School team "shopping"? What about private school kids - their parents pay taxes too, maybe they should also be allowed to try out for the public school team? There are a lot of unanswered questions that deal with "Fairness" that are not addressed in the bill. Comstock once again has her minions praise actions which are not thought out but are put out there for their PR effect. If home schoolers do not want to waste their taxes, send the kids to school!

It's my understanding that the Tebow bill “would let local school boards decide whether toRead More allow home-schooled students to try out for their local team (to avoid families shopping around for the best team) and has provisions designed to prevent dropouts or students not academically eligible from skirting the rules.” It simply allows a county to choose if they want to extend this opportunity, no county or School Board is required to do so. The Tebow bill is much like the bill repealing the “King’s Dominion” law on school starting time that allows localities to decide if they want to start school before Labor Day. Both bills provide local choice and local options. Right now, local school districts that want to include home-schooled students in sports are barred from even trying. Under the Tebow bill each School Board and County decides what is best for their students. This is a very reasonable measure that allows different school systems around the state to decide what is best for their communities. This bill is so modest that even the Washington Post editorialized in favor of it on February 11th
