Named for Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow who was allowed to play sports at his local high school during his home-school days, a new bill could give Virginian home-schooled students the chance to play sports with their peers. While some are applauding the opportunity for these students to have a chance to participate, others say it’s unfair to taxpayers. Patrick Foss is a home-schooled soccer player heading to the University of Virginia in the fall to play college soccer.
Ken Tilley is the executive director of the Virginia High School League.
