Sorry Kid, You Can’t Come To Dance Because You Were Homeschooled
http://www.sptimes.com/2006/11/19/Citrus/School_dance_turns_te.shtmlSteven Goforth says he spent $140 in clothes and tickets to the homecoming dance. His friend, Samantha Kelley, a freshman at Citrus High School, had invited him to come along.
The dance, held in the school’s cafeteria on Oct. 13, was supposed to be a semiformal event. The theme was “Disco Like a Hurricane.”
Steven bought new boots and a pair of blue jeans. He couldn’t make up his mind on a dress shirt so he bought two. He filled the gas tank on his Buick. Everything was set and ready to go.
But the night before the dance, Samantha’s mom, Theresa, got a call from the school.
Her daughter was not allowed to take Steven to the dance because he was not a student at Citrus High. Steven, who is 16, is homeschooled.
