So, who do you think really wins following the vote yesterday?

The privates have just been given carte blanche to recruit. If you thought they were stealing your kids before, now it is legal.

They also were given free reign to go after the public school's good coaches, and they can pay them more than and they don't have to teach at the school.

And, is it not likely that because of those things, the quality of play in the public only leagues drops? Does anyone believe it will rise? Meaning, if you have a kid who you think has a chance of being good, do you want him playing in a weak league?

I guess, in short, does anyone see this improving sports in the public school divisions and if so, how?

Oh, and another issue just mentioned to me: Don't think the private schools will just recruit the best athletes. They will also go after the smartest kids and the best musicians, etc. Why shouldn't they?

 

They always have anyway, now the publics won't have to compete against their "own" kids to advance in the playoffs. With the progress of the voucher bill, it would have only been a few years before taxpayers would have been paying tuition for privates to take a public school's kids to beat them with. Makes me shake my head in wonderment that the general public can't see the impending failure of the public school system in this country...pay the privates to "cherry-pick" the athletes (and academic upper echelon) of their choosing from the public system, then compare privates and publics against each other.

      Head Coaching Jobs in West TN

      By warmachine7954 · Posted

      Tax payer dollars are paid for certified teachers to "teach" and then coach. The primary job is to teach.  There are some district that ay awesome supplements and others that don't. Dyersburg and Dyer County are pretty close if I remember correctly. I would imagine that Football and basketball are above $10,000 now.  I've heard that Milan is $20,000 for boys basketball. I would imagine that football is more than that in Milan.  Collierville has camps that coaches get paid extra for. 3 camps a year, 100 kids a camp, $30,000 right there.  There are places like Memphis-Shelby County schools where the supplements are garbage even for the head coaches. I made less than $3,000 as the head assistant at Germantown in 2015 when we were 26-4 and one of the best teams in the Southeast. As a head middle school coach next year I will make between $4-5,000 at a municipal in Shelby County.  Coaches should be compensated for the jobs that are required but lets keep in mind that they are educators first.  It's pretty frustrating to other teachers that work their tale off teaching 6-7 classes a day to watch someone roam campus, not teach (or have very minimal responsibilities), and get paid the same (more with supplements) as a person who has the some years of experience or sometimes less.

      This will get coaches leaving the profession very quickly if this kid wins this case. This is absurd...

      I suppose you are correct but from my understanding it was going to be a situation of the HC saying yay or nay to every play
