Metro Rankings

Kids should be allowed to attend the school that is best for them. In my day. We had neighborhood schools. Almost everybody grew up wanting to attend the school in their neigjborhood. No more. Now with privates and magnets and special transfers, kids shop around and are shopped around. Coaches no longer can sit back and expect the talent to walk in the door. Coaches have to make kids believe in their program. Every successful metro program has to fight off others recruiting kids in their zone now.

How good could each metro team be if they kept all of the best players in their xone?

As we all know ...busing killed the Metro Nashville Schools. Sad there isn't high schools in places like Bellevue, Donelson, Madison, Goodlettsville....etc. So, like bleacher says...we have the mess we have now. Most families either move out of the county or go to private schools as their kids get HS age. Your government create this mess and a under performing school system in a great and growing city. Sad just sad.
