Parent wonders why home-schooled students have to pay to play

Editor,

I really think it is discriminatory to single out home-schooled students to pay an addition $100 for their student to represent their local high school in athletics. Does it really cost the WHSAA more for the home-schooled students to compete in their local school? It is not like they are forming their own team or representing homeschooling in general. They do not have a special uniform singling them out.

They are playing for the pride of their local school and community and our school district already gets our tax dollars for these students. While I am grateful our state allows home schooled students to participate in sports and other after school activities, I feel this policy unjustly charges home schooled students and it needs to be changed.
