A homeschool student wants to participate in school activities, but the Board Of Education said the student can't, because of school policy. I'm writing an essay on this and I need three reasons and three examples for each reason telling why the student should participate. I need some ideas for this essay, so please give me some ideas.

does the kid live in the district? I dont know its hard for me to agree with this essay but some things that might help is....its a public school and the child is part of the public...you pay taxes for the school so the child should be allowed to participate in the school activites...i mean unless they want to give you your money back lol! how bout why the kid is in the home schooling program...is it because he gets beat up or what not? if so cant you say that it will help with selfasteam? idk just some ideas :)

Pennsylvania has passed a law that states all children have the right to participate in extracurricular activities within their school district - even children who are home schooled through online programs. I'm sure other states have passed this same law. I saw many examples of it on a website for legal rights of children who are home schooled. All children need social interactions to develop proper social skills. Extracurricular activities give them the opportuntity to develop social skills, make lasting friendships, and develop a positive self-esteem.

Every child is different to the amount they can cope with. Some kids one is enough. Mine never seem to tire and this is their week Monday-son has gymnastics 4-6pm Tuesday- Daughter has gymnastics 6-8pm Wednesday Son has gymnastics 4-6pm and then they both have Cubs 7-8.30pm Thursday-son swims 4-4.30 Daughter swims 4.15-5pm Daughter has gymnastics 6-8pm Friday- son has gymnastics 4-6pm and daughter has dance at church 5-6pm. two kids who never seem to wear out. Every child is different.Mine are not really into music and cost also comes into it. Gymnastics is very expensive and to add $25 per 30 min music lesson is beyond my financial abilities. It also has to be something the child likes, not what the parent likes. It may take a few different activities till they find the one for them. But once I have payed my children are committed to the end. Luckily my kids have yet to quit , they found their passion early on.

What about if there is orchestra and the student is a prodigy on the violin but his parents can't afford lessons and they don't know a thing about orchestra, music helps with math and thee N.C.L.B. wants math and reading so it would be a positive count in the child's learning experience. Also the kid would get social contact because there are 14 kid at my school and the orchestra at public school lets me talk with my friends. If I didn't have orchestra I would probably go mad from lack of social contact.

This is strange to me. I home school my children. Where we live they are granted access to all the school's resources. We can use the library, computer lab, etc. My kids can participate in school plays. I can also enroll them to attend art, music, P.E. or whatever I feel they are lacking in at home. If I felt they weren't getting enough in science (as an example) I could send them for science. The school here is required to have open access for anything we might need from them.

he should be able to participate because I bet his mum & daddy are still paying tax to uncle Sam (which part of goes to public education). they don't get any cuts for not attending public school.
.......where I am from its legal for kids that homeschool to participate in public scool activities.

In most schools you can participate, and the school is even required to help you. Also I know some people who are home-schooled and they are tremendous golfers that helped their teams to 1st place in their league.

How about that homeschoolers still pay TAXES that enable everyone elses children to attend the schools as well as pay the teachers that they aren't using?

Well they would be able to make a lot of friends and it would give them time to be away from their parents and house... because later in life they might not want to leave!
