Complaint from school children's parents

I see that you are having a competition for elementary children
submitting stories to subway.

"Contest is open only to legal US residents, over the age of 18 with
children in either elementary, private or parochial schools that serve
grades PreK-6. No home schools will be accepted".

For you that are not aware, homeschooling IS a private school, with
the same legal rights as a "regular" private school. What you are
doing is downright wrong. I'm sure you're aware of the flowing:

According to the National Home Education Research Institute…

"There were an estimated 1,700,000 to 2,100,000 children (grades K-12)
home educated during 2002-2003 in the United States. Homeschooling
appears to still be the fastest-growing form of education."

This was FIVE years ago, and believe me, it is a MUCH bigger number
now. So I'll just let all home school sites know that we are not
welcome in subways, as we don't really count, and we'll make sure our
families and friends know the same thing. Since we're not good enough
for your competition, then you're not good enough for our business.
The internet is an amazing thing, you can get SO much information out
so quickly. A copy of this letter to all the big home school sites
will get the word out to all the people who you choose to ignore in
your competition, and that we need not patron your stores. Thank you
for your time in reading this letter, I guess Quiz nos is THE place
to be!

PLEASE copy and paste this to ALL the websites you know, and write in
letters yourself if you can at subway.com. Let them know that it is
not acceptable that our children be excluded!
