Hi Harold,

I want to highlight something in the first paragraph. I don't see that home-schooling your kids would prevent them from participating in team sports. There are many opportunties within the community for kids to participate in team sports (and Steven Harper gives you a tax credit for it!).

So I don't think that is a valid argument against home schooling.

However, I do believe you need to check out any organization that provides team sports and ensure the coaches are qualified and understand good sportsmanship. The good thing about going outside the school system is that you, as a parent and paying client, have a choice in which sports and teams your child participates. So you can make an attempt to ensure that they aren't learning negative lessons.

It's all about choice isn't it?

Cheers.
