(16,113 posts)It's NOT a private school, its a public school. People pay for it. People with children in school, people who home-school children, people with no children. If a private school student wants to play a sport that his school does not offer, but the public school in the district where he lives does, then he should be able to play too. Certain resource are based on enrollment. Most sports teams are allotted X number of players for a team. The school pays X dollars for that team whether 0, half, or ALL students are home schooled. You can argue that he's stealing a roster spot from a public school kid, but NOT really that he's stealing from the school.
You have no kids and pay the same taxes, what do you get? Hopefully an educated doctor, plumber, and electrician when you're 80 at a price you can afford. Someone with a job to pay into social security and medicare. Higher property values if your area can retain those it educates, and high school sports to watch if you like that sort of thing.
