I would think them not being able to play for the state championship has a lot to do with that… some people still say it was a mistake to let private schools in the LHSAA and we let them in back in the 1930s

so frickign stupid. people make decisions off academics first. bottomline is the texas public schools are as good or better in many cases than our private schools. why is that?

1) independent school districts that actually provide a great education.

2) no bussing because of some old bullshite ruling from 30+ years ago. amazing concept...an upper middle class town like south lake carrol doesnt allow people from all over just to come there. Can you afford to live there is the only requirement.

3) local taxes that stay in the school district allowing them to create bad arse schools and athletic facilities

4) rules that allow them to pay coaches, teachers, and principals as they see fit. they dont have some big arse teachers union making sure everyone gets paid the same. Got coaches making 150+ so they dont mind putting in the hours it takes. here....in many parishes cant pay them a cent more than they are paid from the SB. no booster funding

but im ok with split, i think it cheapens a state championship, but im ok with it. especially last years model which is what it should be. sorry but so called public schools taking kids from all over are select, period.

what i do have a problem with is only 18%(sorry i mispoke earlier when i said 12%) opening the emails and then bitching about transparency.

i have a problem with them leaking info, individually trying to get a man fired for not goign with their agenda and the overall use of politics in lhsaa. its bullshite and you know it. its the same kind of bullshite that almost had them defaulting on loans before he took over and fixed shite.

i also have a problem that you want to punish a kid for going to private school, even if he has always gone to one because he lives in your district....frick off bitch, you dont own those kids. as far as mistake to let the private schools in lhsaa....they could just form their own, they have no problem with that.

same with the other guy, nobody gives a shite about your small town podunk high school. sorry you dont own the kids in your district. and welsh doesnt have to beat ND, like i said im ok with select and non select. but the definition should be implemented fairly across the board. its not public vs private, its select vs non select

but the bottomline is the whole split was unconstitutional to begin with, but if you are gonna have it, it needs to be fair and clear definition and if you fit that definition....you are select. no if ands or butts

as far as kids going after 8th grade, im ok with no varisty games as a freshman, i still think you are punishing the kid, but your dumbass proposal saying they should have just 1 year is complete bullshite. essentially trying to punish the kid for seeking better opportunity.

I don't care how good the coaching and off season workouts are, you only have so many athletes with that small of a community population. And btw, Curtis academics are laughable.

i said im fine with the split, curtis is playing in select...what does that have to do with patterson?

I live in a parish with 2 private schools. Both of which are academically inferior to 3 of the public schools. Both recruit athletes with "scholarships". But neither releases ACT scores. Private aint always better.

---

so if they are just offering them free school, just like public schools are,....then why would they go to the inferior school?

do you think the poor arse schools(outside of a few in nola) are paying parents because thats laughable

Pedro - without a doubt Patterson took a thumping before the split. What our pilot buddy refuses to see is that the Parkview and Curtis's are getting kids from metro areas with 500k + populations. A school like Patterson got 450 kids from Patterson and Bayou Vista. I don't care how good the coaching and off season workouts are, you only have so many athletes with that small of a community population. And btw, Curtis academics are laughable.

our issue wasnt depth those years (maybe the last year i don’t really remember since I didn’t play that year). We’d run 70+ deep numbers wise if I remember right.

The New Orleans Catholic Schools were instrumental in starting the LHSAA; there was no “letting them in”

never mind that 2 privates schools were greatly instrumental in keeping the peace prior to and during integration, one much more so that the other but both played pivotal roles as did NO Archbishop.

an awfully large chunk of the 500 k in BR have absolutely no interest in going to PBS. And many privates do release act/sat scores and I am pretty sure they all release TOPS qualifiers and academic scholarship recipients which on average those numbers are not even remotely close.

it doesnt matter to these idiots....they dont want to be left behind and dont want their kids to be left behind by people with means seeking better situations

they feel like they own kids that live in their district and despite, for the vast majority of Louisisna, providing dog shite public schools....they want the kids in that district to have to go there or be punished.

they have zero interest in whats best for the kid, only what best for them.
