High School

The paragraph about his being home-schooled but playing football for a public school is garbled. It says he took advantage of the law allowing this when he attended Trinity Christian Academy. But that is not home schooling, and as its name suggests, TCA is not, contrary to the article, a public school. It is a private Christian school. Then it says he played for what actually is a public high school, but doesn't make clear whether at that point he was home-schooled.Bill (talk) 06:01, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

From my reading if it, I think that he was being homeschooled but played football at Trinity Christian Academy then later deiceded to play at Nease while still being homeschooled. Also, what do you mean by it's not homeshcooling. It doesn't say he attended classes at Trinity. It says he played football there. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 15:45, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It does say that he attended Trinity and refers to it as the local high school. I quote: "Tebow took advantage of this law when he decided to attend Trinity Christian Academy, the local high school."Bill (talk) 22:58, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 28 September 2016


In the introduction of Tim Tebow, the last sentence that is noted by footnote #14, states that "In 2016, Tebow announced he would pursue a career in professional basbeball[14]..."

Basbeball should be correct to baseball. Kageoni (talk) 17:46, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
