I grew up in a small town in the northern boonies where we had very little in terms of sports teams, certainly no football team, no tennis teams or anything like that. There were only 2 high schools and the nearest high school outside of town was an 8-hour drive. We had cheerleaders for the hockey team (yes, believe it or not) and that was it. There wasn't much in terms of clubs and most people didn't participate in any of this. I certainly didn't.
There are tons of people who grew up and are currently growing up in similar situations. If the supposed lack of teams and clubs is a valid reason to say that people shouldn't homeschool, then logic would dictate that nobody should live in a small town, especially not in the boonies, nor should they live in any city around the world where these things might not be available.
Are those putting down homeschoolers because of the lack of team sports also willing to put down those who choose to live in places where there are no team sports?
