[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] My family member has kids who only went to HS half-days to participate in their high level sport which I thought was insane. [/quote]
How is it legal? Why did the school allow it? What about the subjects that take place in the second half?[/quote]

Plenty of online schoolers starting in middle school to play  sport almost full time [/quote]

It’s another way for people to make money off parents who believe their kids will be superstars. Open only to the rich.

The parents recognize this and don’t put them through the torture of a mundane high school experience.   [/quote] Wouldn't these be the students who need school's academics the most?

Imagine if a child who was accomplished in math but behind physically and in English, History, etc went to a special school with limited PE, English, History, etc.[/quote]

What?  The kids are being allowed and encouraged to intensively train in the areas in which they have an actual future.  It’s almost like a specialized and optional form of “tracking”.[/quote]
