An endless number of families make the decision to homeschool their children, and their children should have to opportunity and the option to participate in the sports or other extracurricular activities that the public school in their community offers. There is a countless amount of opinions that can be discussed when the subject of homeschooling comes up and a number of these topics are controversial. Homeschooling has not only been seen as helpful to kids but also can be harmful to them as well. In the United States, several of the states have passed a bill that now allows home-schooled students to participate in public school extracurricular activities, like sports, if the student chooses to. Students who are homeschooled should be allowed to participate in public school sports or any other extracurricular activities because they do pay taxes, do not get recognized, should not be limited, and have social skills.
