Kids can already go to any orivate school that allows them in


sure but if they were not in the feeder system they have to sit a year

quote:

any public school that they are districted for. If you want to go to a different public school, then you have to move. I'm seeing a lot of people confused by this. The state can't force a school district to take out of district kids, and some have already said they won't take kids from out of the district.


again sure. but lets say you want to go to a school in same town and you are currently zoned for a school that is a c or d school and you would be a minority there, less than 10%....if you want to go to an A school across town...you have to go to the feeder school for 8th grade

seeing a lot of this in LC, where kids are zoned for Lagrange or Washington Marion....the kids go to private school for elementary and middle school...if they want to go to barbe or any other out of zone school for high school to not be stuck in a failing school, they can not play varsity freshman year.

quote:

Because of this, there will be no ending of the split. It's only going to get worse. Schools that don't accept transfers are going to be at an even bigger disadvantage. Why won't they accept transfers in? Because it's local tax money paying for the education. Kids from outside the district don't pay those taxes. It's unfair to the tax base to allow kids who don't pay taxes to come in and tax spots away from those who do. This whole thing is poorly thought out.


out of zone and out of district are two different things. i think you are the one that is confused. you have the parish school board in many places....that is the district. then you have the individual zone for each school.

In the end, i want them to be able to transfer period. I like competition. dont want a kid to leave...provide better learning environment, better academics, better parental support, better coaches, better facilities, better program. if not...you lose the kid and the money that goes along with that.

i want it for any reason. Compete or close period.

you dont own the kid and his playing abilities. why do you care so much where he wants to go to school?

real simple compete with better overall program or stfu. the kids arent slaves where you own them.

For the billionth time, this push does NOTHING to open up educational opportunities for a kid. There will be NO difference in what schools a kid can attend. It will ONLY be used for sporting reasons. I can't see how anyone can look at college sports and say, "That's what I want for sports for minors!"

I realize that some are obviously taking advantage of the transfer, but a kid could legitimately move several times through his/her high school career. Districts should matter. If you live in the district and your parents/guardians can prove that, then there shouldn't be any restriction for a transfer.
This won't apply to private school because one could literally attend a private school the next parish or two over if he wanted to. Or several states over, ie. IMG Academy.


I'll be honest I'm not 100 percent sure if we are on the same page, but it's already the case that bona fide moves allow kids to be eligible. A kid can transfer to any private school as it is if they allow the transfer, but if they aren't in their public district they are ineligible.

Can’t argue with morons thinking this shite is slavery. All this does is let kids get pimped out by their parents / uncle and taken advantage of

for the billionith time....out of zone is easy to get. especially in the same school board district.

so.....yea it does open up academic opportunities. I know of at least 4 kids right now who may not be eligible as freshman because of the current rule.


so yea....it may not change rules on zoning but it allows a kid who is going to out of zone to not be punished in athletics.

and yea the transfers rules are fine in college. allows for late bloomers. I would prefer it to be a 1 time but im fine with it. Kids make mistakes when choosing schools in the first place. happens everyday with normal students....why should the student athlete be any different?

Florida school choice has been this way for a while and it's wild.

There was a kid in my daughters class who transferred his senior year to play football at one school, and the next semester transferred back to his original school for wrestling/powerlifting.

i mean im not going to push it to go that far(i wouldnt care) but i dont understand why so many seem hell bent on controlling kids and where they go to school

like why do you care? if they are not the parent of an athlete that could be affected by this or would never consider a move....then why care?


hell i wish lhsaa allowed home schooled kids to declare a school and they could play there while doing home school. I would love for my kids to do the alpha program for academics.

Personally I think a kid should be able to play wherever they want to play. Private or public.

We have Florida State collegiate school here, and it's a high school where they are taking college level courses, but they don't have sports programs. They can play sports at the public local high schools. Pretty awesome opportunity

This is the only change they should make. It was stupid that my friends from Trinity who lived uptown couldn't play varsity sports as Freshman at Country Day. They went to a school that ended after 8th grade, then came to CD for high school. That never made any sense, in that context.

I don't think (without an analysis of the individual move) kids should be able to get a free transfer, no matter what, once high school starts. That's just dumb.

Transferring in as a freshman = perfectly acceptable transfer, should be no delay in eligibility.

Transferring in as a senior because you want to play for a better team without moving into the school zone = tough shite.

They’re blinded by the money going around if you’re any good… especially at the ages where you’re in the recruiting process and can extort them for checks to have them in your top whatever graphic… then you charge them to go on visits, etc. A kid like Easton Royal right now can get away with almost anything because every SEC fan wants him at their school. If he messes up and happens to break a rule, well that’s what IMG is there for

Also, it might be good for the most talented kids, but it’s not good for the schools who are having their kids recruited away by West Monroe, Neville, Catholic High of Baton Rouge, Edna Karr, Lutcher, etc.

Also, it sucks for the all the kids left behind on the teams that aren’t able to be competitive anymore.

for every kid that is replaced at those schools....another talented kid that wont get on the field will be going to a smaller school

So you going to another high school Johnny?... You didn't like the teachers? I liked my teachers. You didn't like the administration? No, I didn't mind them. You didn't like your classmates? No I had a lot of friends! Your grades not where they should be? Oh no, my grades are really good. Why you leaving school?
My momma and daddy said the football coach was trash and I should have been playing varsity, I was the best on the team so I'm not going there anymore.
or a better one
My parents said the football coach runs the ball too much, we should throw more!

What a world we live in!

This already happens enough with rules in place, now a 1 time transfer would just open up Pandora's box. And for people who think this doesn't happen then you are sheltered from what it is really like at high school level. So many parents are the problems since they know everything about every sport and their "baby" should get be getting a scholarship even though he is 5'8 135 and runs a 4.8. This is the worst for high school sports when there are enough problems already.
