[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While the player’s parents, rightfully so, are catching a lot of heat over this transfer situation it would be foolish to believe Indy and it’s coach did not discuss and encourage actions taken by the player. The Indy coaches know full well what the LCPS transfer policy is and it appears they either turned a blind eye to the rules hoping they could circumvent them the system or they grossly misguided the player.[/quote]

Your statement presumes manipulation. How about they were helping a troubled kid. How dare they. Btw - who cares. It is girls public school lacrosse. Should have granted the waiver and just moved along. If it had been, bball and a poc, no problem. [/quote]

The parents bear full responsibility for people concluding there was manipulation here due to their manipulative PR pressure campaign where they ommitted key details in an attempt to whip up sympathy for the girl.  You don't go give a dozen "woe is me" media interviews and then have it come out in court that in reality you wanted to play with your friends and former club coach at your new HS, which just happened to have been states runners up last year.

I have no doubt LCPS took one look at those details last summer, when the transfer was initiated, and concluded they couldn't grant the waiver the family wanted. And rightfully so. Going on a 6-month media tour to try to force a reversal wasn't a good look.[/quote]

Duh, of course if a child is being bullied or is struggling socially leading to mental health struggles they’d want to go to a school with a built in support system of friends and even a trusted coach who is an adult they can lean on. Every parent wants this safe place for their kid; every psychologist-private practice or school would support this; every teacher, administrator and coach would want this for a student in their care who is suffering. And if you know the area depending on where she lived Independence isn’t much farther than Champe and may be closer than Freedom and in either case doesn’t sound like these were schools where she had this support system. As for her parents—I don’t think I would have handled things the same but I am fortunate not to be in their position. [/quote]

Be that as it may, it's not a valid reason to get a waiver from the eligibility requirements imposed by the state sanctioning body. I'm glad she found a "safe space" but she isn't owed the right to be exempt from the rules. That's what the judge essentially said, BTW.

And I think you *are* the parents. They're closely monitoring all discussions about this, so the responses here are either them or a proxy. Classic bulldozer parent behavior and not doing the poor girl any favors, ultimately.

I’m actually not but think what you want. Maybe you’re affiliated with the others involved because it sounds like you’re monitoring all these places too. But honestly who cares. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I simply have empathy for the kid and agree or disagree with the decision, her parents, etc. everyone should have that. At a minimum it doesn’t sound like she was happy at her other school and that is a crappy and unhealthy way to spend high school. I would hate that for my children or any children but sadly know many do have this experience. And no, she has no “right” to play but since it sounds tied up in her reason to transfer it should have been all or nothing.

Correct. The idea of a partial waiver is ridiculous. Uh, you could be in the band but not lacrosse. How about the school play? VHSL is awful.[/quote]

baloney.  activities like band and theatre do not revolve around competition among schools that the players and parents, whether its right or wrong, consider practically life and death.  that's why they have rules for a level playing field.  if students could transfer from one school to another and join the team immediately, the landscape would be totally different. this family knew the rule and thought they could muscle their way past it.  now they are flipping out because the rule is being enforced.[/quote]

This isn't the NCAA championship, it's HS lacrosse.  If the girl legitimately transferred, she should be treated no different than any other student at the new school.  We're talking about kids here.  [/quote]

No, we are NOT!  we are talking about the tearing down of our society through girls PUBLIC school girls lacrosse. Someone’s dd is going to have to be a sub now. It’s people like you who wouldn’t wear a mask and the whole world caught Covid. RULES AUGGHHH. [/quote]
