Found this interesting this am. No talk of the DII effects just NCLB.

Here is better article on Rick Smith's proposal.

http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2012/feb/19/student-transfer-program-in-jeopardy/

Doubt this will have a significant impact on those who pursue transfer for athletic reasons. I also doubt that the school system will do anything to improve the "low-performing" school.

It would be nice if they did funnel that $ to the low-performers. We shall see what falls out. Transfers for athletic and academics have occurred for years and will continue. I just find open admission of public school "recruiting" or "transferring" (however one wants to phrase it)interesting.

"Low performing schools" are generally the result of low performing students and their low performing parents especially those who allow the students to fall behind at an early age. All the $$$ in the world aren't going to help some situations.

Ummm, maybe we might think of some incentives which could be provided to motivate those students to stay in those schools. Might be tough and might be a little expensive but whats happening now has to be more so. With all of the change going on in the schools now and in the future, a little creativity might now be accepted and take the Principal and show successs stories and get their suggestions or...........

Funny how the perspective varies with the school, isn't it?

 

What is interesting are the claims of the Brainerd and Howard coaches about their student-athletes being recruited and leaving their schools.

 

This is not unique to Chattanooga. Nothing new.

 

Another interesting part of the article is that public schools are being mentioned in the recruiting dynamic.

Signalmnt is going to have to open up some address for there recurits. or better yet ask Sequatchie County to annex the school into their county, then they willn't have to follow rick's rule. well never mind signal mnt don't follws the rules any way. :roflol: LOL

    • What you are saying is true about high school athletics being a privilege and not a right, but NO ONE ever knows what will happen if a case goes before a jury.  Again, I have been in a couple of jury rooms and it's always a little crazy.  That is why my prediction is you will see a settlement before the case goes to trial.
    • What rules does everyone not operate by?
    • So you want a have and have not split? Sound like the perfect ramp to elitism. Tell those rural kids that they'll never be able to compete with those urban kids. They're not good enough right? Or we could just do what travel baseball does and have tournaments every weekend and give kids big fake rings for winning a few games. The suburban public schools are typically the ones with more funds. Urban and rural schools have more in common in finances than they do with rural schools. I've taught and coached in all of it. The difference is attitude. But if you're jsut going to say you can't compete because you don't have the money then that's an excuse. Especially in basketball. The balls are the same size, the rims are the same height and size. The ball dribbles the same in some rural gym in mountains as it does in the FedEx forum. Charters come and go like a fart in the wind. They are no real threat to anyone. Magnets could be but rarely do they win either. It just hasn't been seen in Tennessee.  
    • That’s a good line. Wins would be Soddy, Howard, and Ooltewah. Maybe East Ham again or Knox Central. Tyner maybe but being that late in the year it’s hard to say. I don’t think we get by Red Bank this year.    Rhea could be anywhere from 2-8 to 6-4. 
    • I agree with the Farragut and Bradley claim. Those will both be wins. Bearden like you say is depending on when you get them in comparison to when the wheels fall off.  As far as West goes I’m 50-50. They have been able to reload so far so until they show me they haven’t I can’t count them out.
