Hayfield Football Coach Fired

[Anonymous]

It’s about the coach and the principal and FCPS. Not about specific kids.

So to you, high school football is more important than finding out the truth, seeing if laws were broken etc. Yikes.

Also, these aren't children we are talking about, most are in their late teens. Don't try and make them more sympathetic figures by framing them in the same lens as a ten year old. Also, most of us are talking about the adults who got the "children" as you call them to lie and possibly break the law and not the "children" themselves, many of whom had to know they were violating rules at a minimum.

A teenager is a child. Are you insane? And if an adult tells a child this is where you are going to school, what do you expect a child to do? I don't like this whole thing but blaming kids is where you lost me. Are you sick?

Sweet comment Karen.

Aw sheesh, Reid put out another bad email about this and Sizemore Heizer posted the Frisch letter on her Facebook. They really don’t get it. No one wants yet another “comprehensive, independent” waste of time and money investigation. We want FCPS to not back cheaters. We want FCPS to respect vhsl’s ruling. We expect Hayfraud to face consequences for its violations. Hopefully the judge will do that on 12/4 and FCPS will actually respect the finding instead of throwing every other FCPS team under the bus to support Hayfraud.

What makes you say FCPS wasn’t or hasn’t respected VHSL’s ruling? They were ready to abide by it when the parents stepped in to stop it via the court.

Good question. I think it starts with the adults. Parents, coaches, administrators at schools like Oakton, McLean, and Langley have different priorities, it appears, than their "peers" at Hayfield. For example, parents, coaches, administrators at schools like Oakton, McLean, and Langley seem to deprioritize things like illegal recruiting and winning at all costs and instead prioritize things like teaching the kids under their purview important life lessons. It also seems that parents, coaches, administrators at schools like Oakton, McLean, and Langley don't feel the need to live vicariously through their children, whereas parents at Hayfield do. So, because of this, at the end of the day, schools like Oakton, McLean, and Langley don't end up cheating at football.

I am guessing that wasn't the answer you were looking for as you picked three very specific schools that might look demographically similar in nature and you were again trying to play the race card, but my answer is correct. Take the L.

OMG, you can't be serious. Shaking my head.
-signed a McLean parent

Nah, the OP's response seems pretty spot-on. Then again, McLean families who have kids who aren't bright enough to get into the likes of Visi, Madeira, Gonzaga etc. tend to respond in this manner.

what?

Look, I am not sure who you are insulting, but it's very possible to think the Hayfield situation is wrong , disappointing, and anti-educational without pretending that the people from the next town over a morally superior. Anybody who pretends Langley/McLean/Oakton parents are superior has never been to a travel soccer game in these towns.

FCPS has its own in-house counsel. The Hayfield parents hired a private attorney who has been hired by FCPS in the past for special education cases. Cafferky is not an FCPS employee nor was he paid by FCPS in this case.

FCPS said they stand behind hayfield after the vhsl ruling. Then the hayfield parents were mysteriously represented by FCPS regular external counsel.

Nothing will happen. The school board won’t do anything to correct this situation or Reid’s malfeasance.
