I recall that there is a minimum grade point average one must maintain to participate in extracurricular activities. How will that be enforced fairly? Kid is failing but wants to play ball, let's homeschool.

There are several arguments against.

1. Why should the schools have to accommodate a non-student? Especially with limited budgets.
2. Why should a non-student get to take up a spot on a team that a regular student may want?
3. This opens up schools to athletic recruiting shenanigans. If you can get a non-regular student on your sportsball team, there is a significant risk (as we saw in the past leading to the current rule set) that children will be recruited to specific teams.
4. Homeschoolers opt out of the school system for a reason. Getting to pick and chose what parts you want should not be an option. If you want your kid in a public schools athletic program (or art or music) then enroll them public school.

As a child I was home schooled for several years. It was not a good thing and I suffered from it. But god said to do so and thus I was stuck. And while over the decades I've interacted with a small number of children who were helped by it, the vast majority I've met were not.

I grew up on Crutcher(Grand and Glenstone), and this seems familiar. But I’m not sure I was getting out on my own much until ‘87 or ‘88, so it may have been gone by then.

What? You don't live an hour away?

Would this mean their homeschool children would have access to sports scholarships typically meant for public education kids?

Also I can see an argument either way for this. Why is it particularly bad in your opinion?

TY for the repost. I broke rules, so

Yes, that's it! I saw online it is temporarily closed...but when it opens it is worth a visit

So they want the schools to let their kids not attend like other students, but still participate in sports and other such activities? Sounds like they want to pick and choose what part of society they get to take advantage of while opting out of things they do not want. Maybe they should get together with the other homeschool parents and make a homeschool sports team.

Is it the Pioneer Museum?

As someone who was homeschooled in the late 90s and early 00s. I completely agree.

I also was under the impression that all that was something you could do back then.

Been there a handful of times, unfortunately not yet with this partner. We're going to make a special visit for that later so I can finally see the Frank Lloyd Wright house.

Ty, btw. These folk have opted out of services, yet want to double dip: No oversight, yet access.

I'm keen on the social benefit of rounding out kids' skill, but you can't privately exempt your fam and turn around and request public services.

The Midtown Library has a Fix-It Fair on April 15. Someone there might be able to help.

Cool! Thanks for the info!

Also Legacy Bank bought the land across from Costco for a new bank.

I do! I live by there and looked up construction permits, a Whataburger and a Domino’s will be next to Taco Bell.

New here huh? It's a car wash

Was that, " Bear, Book & Records" ?

> So apparently the local highway patrol office is not following court orders and sealing expunged convictions.

Or the circuit clerk didn’t forward a copy of the judgment to the Highway Patrol’s CJIS division. This happens a lot more often then you’d like to think; not everything is nefarious or neglectful on the part of law enforcement.

There are a number of other non-nefarious scenarios where the computer record doesn’t get expunged like it should.

Maybe so. Feel free to look at my post history and the subs I’m active in. I think it’s possible to have views while also trying to be objective. I don’t think every conversation has to devolve into ‘you’re either with us or against us.’

Cops are also exempt from some traffic laws. Want to cry about that too?

The cop knew the law and confused it for another taillight law. That was a reasonable error. Once again, no cop was given a free pass.

In both cases they did not follow/know the law and suffered no consequences. Yet if you or I tried that argument, do you think the judge would buy it?

And the Shelton case is about Medicare fraud…
