Magnet Schools and basketball

Oh, believe me, it takes a LOT more than that to offend me! LOL!!! I was, if you will notice the context of my post, simply poking fun at your choice of words, to which some people in the past have taken offense.

 

BTW, you didn't respond to the rest of my post, so let me attempt to make my point by asking a couple of questions.

 

Does MPHS have to play against teams/schools that allow overage students to participate (whatever the TSSAA age limitation is)? If they do, they are at a distinct UNFAIR disadvantage.

 

Does MPHS have to play against teams/schools that get to count their touchdowns as 8 points instead of 6 points? If they do, they are at a distinct UNFAIR disadvantage.

 

Does MPHS have to play against teams/schools that are allowed to play football with 12 or more players on the field? If they do, they they are at a distinct UNFAIR disadvantage.

 

If MPHS has to play against teams/schools that have better players, better coaches, better facilities, better equipment, etc., they may be at some disadvantage, but that is FAR FROM UNFAIR. If so, welcome to the club! I would humbly submit to you, THAT IS LIFE.

Ok let me understand MPS or PMS, I think the fair thing to do is put all privates out, all magnets out, all schools in a city with a population larger than 100,000, put all schools out if the school population has over 50% parent involvment. Put out all schools where kids put in extra time and effort, or attend camps. Put out all schools that have more than one national merit scholar, maybe that would even the playing field.

You're catching on now. In the search for the LEVEL PLAYING FIELD, you have to be able to segregate Tennessee high schools by more and more criteria because, as we all know, life is always fair except in Tennessee high school athletics.

I thought I`d post this here on this thread. Liberty High School has reached an overcrowding point and it`s inevitable that something has to be done. What is being proposed is that any student who is zoned for Liberty has the option to attend JCM or Southside if they so choose. So add JCM and SS to schools that can get kids from a larger area if this is approved.

I have a question for you mr teacher. What is your current oppinion on the 5A transfer into Mount Pleasant??? We all know that if a good player left mount pleasant for another school you would think it is horrible but how do you feel about one comming into Mount Pleasant.....

No, just 3 counties! /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> I did some poking around after finding out that a local friend and former MPHS faculty member attends my church. You may want to take your blinders off. I did a very short Q&A with a former faculty member and I was able to find out some interesting MPHS facts. /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" /> /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

LOL! That was actually pretty funny! Sometimes I think you may be getting it!

 

BTW, you still haven't answered or responded to my questions/comments about "level playing field/unfair advantages."
