Got a better explanation? The hayfield parent interviews start by saying that challenging their residency is racist. It’s far better to have a few concussed Woodson (renamed for the black Woodson mind you) kids, than be accused of racism. |

Ok imagine your girls played a sport, and had worked really hard on their sport at your zoned local public HS. The school hired a new GirlSport coach. He shows up with 16 girls he has recruited from other counties. They don't live in your school zone. Your daughter and her friends are Kicked off her own school team to make room for all these kids from other places. The new Coach also starts fundraising money and it disappears. He is hired for a job at the school he is not qualified to do. And so on. |

Most of the posters on this thread don't care about football and don't know anything about this situation other than what they could glean from twitter bios. It's just people with axes to grind against FCPS. |

You’re right, I don’t give a flip about football but I do care about whether my Principal and school officials are corrupt. |

What a stupid comment. So, alleged illegal activities shouldn’t be investigated if minorities are involved because that would be racist? |

This and I'm Harris/Walz all the way but FCPS is acting shady as usual. |

 Yes people who expect integrity from a "world class" school system are racist. Grow up.

I'd bet money you're not a Hayfield parent. |

If you can't spot the racist comment in this thread, then yes, you are a racist. |

Well these same girls are her recruiting competition no matter what so my girls either need to improve or pick a new sport or activity. If they're not even trying to go D1 then even better, find something else to do. HS has so many opportunities. Classwork is the priority and each of my girls volunteer and work so they're not pressed for something to fill their time. They'd be fine. Don't care about the money. Wasn't out of my wallet. As for the job, it seems he held it before so he is qualified. |

You're nosy but don't understand other's perspectives? You have four girls so this is why you don't care. They don't even have a girl's football team and few girls play football for high school. If whatever program they were interested in in high school that you felt they were eligible were suddenly overtaken by other kids not living in your district or even your county, you would be ok with all four of them not doing their passion in high school because of cuts related to relationships with the teacher and illegal entry? Let's say it's theater and your kid was a star performer in middle school and now can't even get a minor role because some teacher who wants to be a stage manager on Broadway and has had some success with two students has come to your school and brought all these kids she's trained as if to open up a school within a school and she doesn't know your kid and wants to promote the talent she's already helped to make a name for herself. Your kids are now stagehands and on top of it these new theater kids are entitled and bully your kids because they feel special. |

I'd like to respond to something just posted in the DCUM blog about this thread:
This grossly underestimates how insane and rah-rah sports-obsessed families can be for a high school football team. The win at any cost crazies exponentially out number any bench warmer kids' families who didn't make the roster because of a dozen or even two dozen illicitly recruited student-athletes. I saw similar decades ago in college. We had illiterate criminals on the football and basketball teams. Several were credibly accused of sexual assault and other crimes. It didn't matter. Win at any cost. There was even a scandal like this at billionaire Steve Ballmer's kids' private prep high school in Seattle. Filthy rich guys recruited teenage ringers to literally move in with them. They didn't care if a couple rich kids were cut from the team, they wanted a championship. With Ballmer’s aid, elite school pushed limits of prep-sports rules August 16, 2014 https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/times-watchdog/with-ballmerrsquos-aid-elite-school-pushed-limits-of-prep-sports-rules/ |
