The Barbe player from Kinder probably used an address of a relative to attend Barbe
Public schools gripe about private recruiting which was the main reason for the split but the old address card has been played for years by the public schools and those kids out of district that want to attend private schools usually make that decision on their own


i will never get adults trying to control where a kid goes to school like they own them because of the address. Let the kid go where he feels is best for him, private or public.

just need to go to full school choice. Dont want the kid to leave, get better. Sorry but people dont leave the top 3a programs usually, even to go to barbe. Become the best, provide top notch academics and amazing facilities along with great coaching and kids wont leave.

Everyone wants the good kids to stay at their school, but they are not willing to compete for them as far as providing the above.

what people forget about Barbe, although its not the best school overall, they have the best AP program in the state of any public school. They offer more classes than almost anyone. and I say that as a parent that more than likely wont be sending my kids there.

It's not exactly that easy for public schools to do this. It requires a lot of funding that isn't in their hands. That's a very naive take.

It's easy to say "get better" but it isn't that easy. Public schools are typically hampered by a lack of funding and most programs aren't going to raise enough money to build top notch facilities. Hell, most programs can't even get help from their own city governments. Building large batting cages and facility upgrades aren't cheap.
