if tuition  doubles, still worth it. 

Hammer I'm sure you are 100% right from what all you have told me of your experiences there. All I know is that of all the schools in Blount County that didn't grow was Alcoa High according to the local paper. A spanking new school that didn't grow while the rest grew like a kudzu vine would tell anyone that the tuition was unaffordable to some people because that's where the story focused on was the drop in those students. There was a slight drop in the number of kids out for football as someone brought to my attention at the jamboree that follows Alcoa pretty hard. It seems to me Alcoa School Leaders want a leveling off at the high school. I also know The City of Alcoa's plans for creating another Turkey Creek on Alcoa Highway has only managed to be a real live Turkey so far and I expect anything and everything will go up including tuition to pay for that mess. This is Barney and this is my River Confessions for Today.

Knox County should consider high schools in between these overcrowded zones, like Cedar Bluff, with no sports (or maybe just basketball). I think a good number of kids would enjoy the vibe of an academic school. If a student wanted to, say, play football they could go to Farragut or Bearden, like at magnet schools. Maybe even have a no sports school in the Hardin Valley area to ease overcrowding.

    • Now that wouldn’t surprise me a bit. That has been going on heavily since the days of Larry Kerr @ AC. One of the major reasons CC has never really had much at all, barring about 2 seasons in football. AC milks it dry.
    • Interesting how quite it is. Rumors are going around that Anderson County is being looked at by TSSAA for recruiting violations with the Campbell County transfers. 
    • I heard from a member of the teaching staff that there has been a dispute over use of the game field between football, and girls lacrosse team. Girls had a game and wanted to warm up and football coaches did want to leave. The football coaches came down hard with some bad vulgar language and the girls lacrosse backed down. What a classy act BHS athletics has become.
    • The lawsuit requests a jury trial. Sable Winfree has extremely competent legal representation. FYI - her lawyer represented the Warren County school system for years, and I believe he knows what constitutes a reasonable lawsuit.
