Should home-schooled have access to public school programs?
CNN – Jul 1, 2005
For a variety of reasons, these parents believe that they can provide an equal or superior educational experience at home. Yet, parents who home-school their children (whom I will call "home-schoolers") have begun to recognize the benefits of group after-school activities. And increasingly, they have become interested in taking advantage of extracurricular activities offered to children enrolled at public schools. States, and individual districts within states, are split on the question of whether to admit home-schooled children into activities, such as sports teams, at schools that they do not attend. Some places give home-schooled children this option, while others do not. The debate on the subject of access raises important questions about the meaning of a public school education, for those who opt in as well as for those who do not…
This argument may sound persuasive, but it is based on a faulty premise about a taxpayer’s entitlements. Paying taxes is not the equivalent of paying tuition for public school. If it were, then people who have no children, or whose children are grown, would not have any obligation or reason to pay. Yet we all pay taxes, regardless of whether we have children and of how many we have. The reason that governments and taxpayers fund public schools is that every person living in our society benefits the next generation that is educated and well-socialized. The people in public school are part of the general population that will be voting and running this country down the road. Thus, though the children themselves undoubtedly benefit from going to school, the role of public school in the community’s life goes well beyond the provision of benefits to individual students and their families.

He may be under consideration for an evening show. Allman says Durham has shown graciousness, knowing he was working on a fill-in basis as far back as February. Durham is emerging as the first new home-grown talk talent in a long time. Don McLean’s “American Pie” is just one of the many songs pounded to death on oldies radio stations.

You could hang out at the station all day, especially one of the major ones–most of which have undergone major refurbishment–and not get bored. Ueno Station is a prime example of how these hubs have been improved through the years and designed to cater to urban dwellers’ hectic lives. Past the turnstiles is the stylish Atre leisure complex that includes a supermarket, flower stand, boutiques carrying trendy fashion items and underwear, a flame shop, a day spa, Starbucks and Doutor coffeeshops (with the latter, a home-grown chain serving really strong brew), delicatessen, offering French pastries and traditional green tea and red bean cakes and an "American pharmacy" stocking items usually found the US such as Woods of Windsor toiletries and Hawaiian-made lotion and aromatherapy candles and essential oils. There’s even a Hard Rock Caff that was packed at lunchtime. It’s the first one I’ve seen at a train station. Some traditions, however, don’t disappear completely. Despite Frenchified outlets like Brasserie Le Crin at Ueno, the tachi-kui (stand-and-eat) is still the popular choice of harried salary men.
