I understand, but this is by no means a simple difference between public and private schools. It occurs in all schools.

 

Yep. and leads right back to my point that any separation should occur at the open and closed level and not public/private.:cool:

Oh no!!! G is starting to get lawyer speak down...:scared::scared:

If a person applies to attend a private school, the private school may refuse to admit the student based upon any number of subjective criterion so long as the reason for the refusal does not violate the law (race, creed, sex, national origin, et. al.). In other words, there are no "equal protection" arguments for admission to private schools.

 

I don't think the same can be said for public schools. I think you will find, for the most part, that absent some compelling reason, a public school must admit nobody or almost anybody who applies, else they be faced with an "equal protection" lawsuit. Space and money then become a problem, whereas a private school can limit its student body size, even among equal applicants, based upon space and money considerations.

How about this lneck:

 

The point is everyone, you can go to school anywhere you want (as long as that school is willing to accept you) Furthermore, there are no rules or laws that stop any school from accepting any students, the only rules are self-imposed, local rules. You may have to pay at some places and not others but at the end of the day there is no "rule or law" that restricts you from sending your son or daughter to any school in Kentucky no matter where you live.

 

 

Getting better.

No, no a thousand times no ...

And that opens up a huge can of worms regarding athletics. Schools only have a certain amount of room. And they begin to pick and choose. They let in the star athlete, the kid with a 36 on the ACT but the kid with the discipline record doesn't get in or the kid that brings nothing to the school in regards to extracurricular activities.

 

This already happens at at least one public school. Their boy's basketball team won the LIT this year, their girl's basketabll team may be the best in the state.

 

And before you say it, I know your idea would address that but that's not the proposal that we are talking about. We're talking public vs. private, not rural vs. urban or open vs. closed.

That is wrong. You are going to let one kid in either set a maximum and take the first ones that apply or take none or take them all.

 

It seems, as some has alluded to, that you would take them all if the district is that concern about kids having a chance to go to a perceived good school district.

Please, someone show me a level playing field ANYWHERE in the world, and I'll eat this keyboard. No way, no how. You level one area, and that just changes something else.

 

Male and Manual should be very worried...they're next!!!

 

Thats why we have no rules or policies in sports.

LCA and Lexington Catholic both broke the rules (whether intentional or not)...are they immune to ridicule?

 

The best post on the cartoon. Cartoons are ridicule, humor, satire. If the posts of many are accepted ...this is about the kids, not adults, then accept the cartoon. It mocks the coaches (adults) who experienced punishments by the KHSAA for the very thing being mocked.

 

The real outrage are for the parents who pony up tens of thousands of dollars to both of these schools for something more over public education. If I was one of those parents you bet I would be screaming at the school leadership. The decisions of the athletic interests in the school overrode the mission statements of the school (and they still have a job:thumb:).

 

The coaches at LCA and Lex Cath that were involved in these past problems deserve the fate and the ridicule. They let the kids down. There is nothing wrong in pointing that out because they expect a fair amount of committment in return to their programs from players and the families. It is a two way street on matters of conduct.

 

It is a cartoon and I wonder how we all would post if the cartoon was showing the KHSAA as spineless and leadership weak?

I don't think the coaches were involved in either of the incidents were they? Wasn't it the principal at Lex Cath and at LCA it involved parents and churches giving the money and not the coaches.

 

I don't recall either of the coaches being implicated. I could be wrong, but don't remember reading that at all.

I think LCA knows what they did was wrong and the coach knew about it to. As for the cartoon it hit right to the point. If the shoe fits wear it.

I love how what you think is most important and not who was actually implicated by the KHSAA.

Check out the PGA that has been and I used the term used by the media, Tiger-proofing the golf courses.

 

After Tiger's dominating win this weekend, Fred Couples lamented that this just made it harder for everyone else when they come to the major that will be competed on Torrey Pines this summer.

 

The PGA will see what Tiger did and redo the course to make it harder for Tiger and try to bring him back to the field for the major.

 

Another example of hundreds of trying to level the playing field in sports.

 

You want some condiments with that keyboard?:lol:

Thanks lneck.

 

The point is everyone, you can go to school anywhere you want. You may have to pay at some places and not others but at the end of the day there is no "rule or law" that restricts you from sending your son or daughter to any school in Kentucky no matter where you live.

 

You CANNOT pay students to come to your school. The KHSAA found that LCA gave scholarships to students that did not have financial need for the help. They also had an outside organization pay to send kids to their school which is completely illegal. They also had kids owe several thousands of dollars to the school upon graduation. They allowed them to graduate without paying the money. This is another form of illegal scholarship. The funniest finding from the KHSAA was the kid on the form that recieved 17,000 in money, but the cost were only 13,000. Blatant cheating is the only term for it. Before people try to defend LCA, they need to read the actual findings from the KHSAA. They are a lot deeper than what was reported in the paper.
