re: More LHSAA… they want to allow one free transfer again…

I just looked through your Alpha AI program bud. Doesn't look like any teachers are replaced, but nice try. Also, you can attend for the low, low price of $40,000 per year!

Gtfo. AI isn't replacing teachers any time soon. Newman would blush at that tuition.

I dunno what the answer is, but I watched the highlights on wheels and it made be think ever paying for that would be a waste of time. The camera guy didn't know where to go on occasion, missed important moments, and camera that looked like it was in a hurricane at some points.

This also misses out on one of the most important elements of school, socialization. We already saw what isolation does during Covid. I have no clue why people would even consider homeschooling. The social education your child misses out on by staying at home and not interacting is very important.

So every family will need to have one parent not work so they can stay at home with their kid for 3 hours a day? Awesome!

I realize that some are obviously taking advantage of the transfer, but a kid could legitimately move several times through his/her high school career. Districts should matter. If you live in the district and your parents/guardians can prove that, then there shouldn't be any restriction for a transfer.
This won't apply to private school because one could literally attend a private school the next parish or two over if he wanted to. Or several states over, ie. IMG Academy.


I'll be honest I'm not 100 percent sure if we are on the same page, but it's already the case that bona fide moves allow kids to be eligible. A kid can transfer to any private school as it is if they allow the transfer, but if they aren't in their public district they are ineligible.

For the billionth time, this push does NOTHING to open up educational opportunities for a kid. There will be NO difference in what schools a kid can attend. It will ONLY be used for sporting reasons. I can't see how anyone can look at college sports and say, "That's what I want for sports for minors!"

and wtf does college have to do with anything? are you thinking the schools are going to start offering NIL deals? and you say college is so bad yet the viewership is higher than ever. More teams than ever have a chance to win...i mean Indiana just won for god sakes. literally 2 years ago they were the worst program of all time. now they win an NC.

so explain how this is bad again?


Dude, you're just an angry dude who is intellectually dishonest. Your downvote ratio says enough. No one likes what you're saying, or agrees with you. I mean, when your argument is "Look at the team funded by Mark Cuban, that could you!" it's obvious your grasp of the situation is infantile.

Everyone is against it because even the ones who will benefit the most know they'll also lose kids too, and no one wants to deal with all the extra work. Look at the colleges having to cycle through 50 percent of their team each year. It get's tiring. The city schools know it'll affect them the most.

That is so short-sighted. I'm sure thespians said the same thing about the moving pictures when it first came out. It will still take a very skilled person to create a shot and a consistent, cohesive, and compelling narrative. Now that will be open to many more artists. I just don't get all this stanning for the TV/Movie industry that has repeatedly shown it sucks over the past 20 years without barely any new creative direction and the rise of preaching agendas in the media. This is going to be a great way to tell Hollywood, adapt or die. This is literally the foundation of capitalism.

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?


They can already do that. I'm so confused why people think you can't transfer already. There are also plenty of ways to be eligible immediately. Is there a hardship? Did you make a bona fide move? Did you change from a school that is out of district to one that is in district? Because a few kids who thought they were better than they really were (honestly it's probably the bonehead parents that can't evaluate their kids talent and tell them they are a stud), we need to change the whole system? Do you even watch what's happening to college football? You want that at the high school level? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

i think its a great idea...you dont own the kids abilities because of where they were born. sorry compete if you want the kid to stay


Kids can already go to any orivate school that allows them in, and any public school that they are districted for. If you want to go to a different public school, then you have to move. I'm seeing a lot of people confused by this. The state can't force a school district to take out of district kids, and some have already said they won't take kids from out of the district.

Because of this, there will be no ending of the split. It's only going to get worse. Schools that don't accept transfers are going to be at an even bigger disadvantage. Why won't they accept transfers in? Because it's local tax money paying for the education. Kids from outside the district don't pay those taxes. It's unfair to the tax base to allow kids who don't pay taxes to come in and tax spots away from those who do. This whole thing is poorly thought out.

It's next Thursday if you are talking about the LHSAA vote. FWIW, I emailed my government rep and complained about this. This is a waste of tax dollars and shouldn't have any government intervention. The sport will be worse off for this, just like college sports. And this is literally only about sports, it doesn't have anything to do with academics. If you want to go to a better academic school, you can already do so, you just may have to sit out a year. This is exclusively about sports. It's going to be all fun and games until you have a kid who had an important starter or three on their team bail on the squad and you know that seriously affects how your kids team will be able to do in the playoffs. You won't be so excited when good coaches just straight up quit than have to recruit their own squads back to their team each year. It's not cute, and it's going to be the cause of a direct drop in competitiveness in the high school ranks

See thats what I'm expecting as time goes on. Almost all the crap people are saying about AI not being as good as a human director and actors is silly. First, there will be a lot of crap obviousy, but theres also a lot of crappy tv shows and local plays most people don't watch either. When you get good, talented people, which I think at this point is just a few months away, you'd be able to produce a move in a few days that would have taken months on a budget of less than 1k vs 300 million. And guess what? People will want to watch it if you capture their attention.

None of the people worried about losing their jobs actually care about progress, they only want to complain because it affects them. No one in their right mind would want to keep around people from the equestrian industry at the advent of cars just because they feel bad that they lost their jobs. The future is here. Quit fighting it, you'll only get yourself behind. Pivot now in the new industry and get ahead of the curve so you can be one of the ones who will have a job in entertainment in the future.

How many of those SAG members make all their money from the industry? A ton hold down other jobs to act. They won't be losing the bulk of their income.

With what I'm seeing with Seedance 2.0, my thoughts are this:

- Good AI movies and shows will rise to the top on sites like YouTube, just look good streamers already rise to the top over bad ones.

- We're going to see some serious challenges to IP laws, but at the end of the day that's going to work out about as well as trying to stop people from finding streaming sites to watch anything they want anyway.

- This is going to slash major movie budgets as there will be no reason to undertake risky or highly costly scenes.

- We're going to get so many new Game of Thrones endings within the next year

- People who say this type of technology won't change the industry and the world live with their head in the sand. I already don't believe a single thing I see on Facebook or Instagram. It's going to be soon where I don't believe anything I see on the news either. This technology is amazing.

ETA: We're going to be getting rid of real TV/movie actors very soon and honestly it couldn't have happened to a more deserving group.
