Imagine that. An organization is making and enforcing rules to be fair for ALL of its members and not only looking out for what lsu777 wants for his children.

Me, me, me, me. That's all I hear from you. I want this for my kids. I want my way. Who cares about everyone else? I just want my way.


Once again, if it's so important to you, move into the school zone you want your children to attend.

There’s a lot of small schools where freshmen can contribute… making them sit is a disadvantage for those teams and an advantage for more elite programs that don’t depend on freshmen but then get the benefit of those kids after their ineligibility is over

did i ever mention my kids ever? no...i didnt

i want parents to make the choice and for schools to compete for students

you want to keep the status que which keeps us towards the bottom of education stats and keeps parents having to send their kids to private school


again...this has nothing to do with me. it has to do with parents making the choice for their kids. not what amounts to nothing more but another arm of the state government.



all i hear from you is....I want it to the stay the same because im emotional and cant fathom there could possibly be a better way. zero critical thinking skills where you only focus on the negative

again for every athlete that transfers in...he is replacing someone....so that person transfers out


again though not every one can afford to just pick up and move. I can move where ever i want, its not the point.

and wouldnt be as big of a deal if the school boards didnt rig the zones to try and keep certain schools from becoming failing schools.

of course. and tons of kids that go to a big school....stuck behind a stud and want to transfer to a smaller school but cant without penalty.

or tons that get into high school and realize they are not a fit there academic and social wise.....but they are stuck because of the penalty

in the end it doesnt matter because its happening in the next 3 years like it or not. and all the little bitches whining like teenage girls are going to just have to get the frick over it.

I have talked to 7 Principals this week in my normal course of business and ALL are voting against it.

From what I understand(and this happened on the last "split ending vote" school boards and some politicians are pressuring principals to vote one way or another....... I know 3 public principals that wanted to vote to end split but school board people and others told them to vote in a different way.

Proves more and more the split was a teachers union thing and not a sports thing

Don’t think Sabine Parish doesn’t know and realize they have 7 votes when a parish their size shouldn’t have that…

You keep talking out of both sides of your mouth. You say this as if you are worried about education.

But then admit that transferring is all about athleitcis

It's high school athletics, not the Dodgers vs the Yankees. Free agency has no place in high school athletics.

I get it, I'm an old man. I played for a state championship game in high school with the 8 guys behind me who I played t-ball and coaches pitch with. At the same high school today I bet there are players that enter their freshman year never have played on the same team as 60% of their classmates.

A good thing has been ruined by adults with egos.

I've seen kids I really cheer for be caught in this exact situation. They bust their tails for 2/3 years at their HS, but there are a couple studs at the positions he/she plays and they really struggle to see the field for whatever the reason, late bloomer, not tall enough, coaching bias, etc... If they have not made contributions on the varsity field and they are in their junior year, why not let them transfer to a school they believe to be less talented and have at least one full year of contribution and get some reward for their hard work on and off the field?
That could work both ways. What about a kid who was doing the same thing at the school where your kid transferred, and your transfer keeps him on the bench.

ETA: What if a kid at the school where your kid transferred was going to be the starting QB, and your old player transfers in and takes his spot. Like Jayden Daniels did to Garrett Nussmeier

the same kind of person that thinks when a private school offers free tution that its a form of cheating when all they did was make it cost the same as public school and level the playing field so that the kid could choose the best school for him.
If the kid isn't going to help your school win, your school doesn't give him anything.It's not cheating, if it's within the rules, but don't make it sound like your school gives a hoot about a kid. Not unless they do the same for a kid that can't help you win games.

Private school supporters that say public schools should hire better coaches and support your teams, may not realize you are taking families that might have been supporting the public school. They may have been staunch supporters that gave time and service to their kid's public school, When you take their kid away from the public school, you took them too. Congratulations on making the public school worse than it was.

I still and so do many others that were in the play in class meetings-if that never happens we never have a split.

for public schools with standard attendance zones they do


This is a minority of schools now and, as a percentage basis, even a lower minority of students under the LHSAA.

Why should any student lose eligibility for a rule that no longer reflects the reality of schools in Louisiana - especially when individual districts have the option of evolving?

I understand the hesitancy of the one-time transfer but the real elephant in the room is the continued reliance on archaic attendance zones.

Again, the LHSAA governs more sports than just football.

If it means that much to you, MOVE INTO THE PROPER SCHOOL ZONE!


Again, the majority of schools don't have attendance zones anymore and, for a lot of private schools, their LHSAA attendance zone in no way reflects where their student population lives.

One constant on this forum is that posters really have no clue how tuition assistance works under the LHSAA.

. This is discussed a lot and I’ll go to owl’s teachers union comment on this.

As is kids living with non custodial parents, relatives or even family friends (provided they actually live with said people). This needlessly costs deserving kids every year- it took a lot of eligibility from me

Not trying to be argumentative could you explain why the teachers union cares about athletics? Is it because coaches are part of the union?

Yeah plus principals too… just think of unions how you normally think of unions and you’ll understand why they don’t want anything to do with private alternatives

They also hate charter schools like that too

So you really don't care about education, unless the kid can help your school do better at some extracurricular activity.

Do you admit to being part of the problem for Louisiana's poorly performing public schools.

i care about the education of my kids first and foremost. then i care about the kids that want to get away from low performing schools

i believe in 100% school choice

i have said that at least a dozen times. I believe in making schools compete for students and the money that comes with that. If that means some schools close because they can not compete.

in the end AI is coming for teaching anyways. Already showing its much better at teaching with the success of the alpha program.
