why do you care if the kid wants to go back home for his senior year. It's so bizarre. It's not a conspiracy. He wanted to play with his friends against better competition, now he is going home to be with his family. [/quote]

Becasue it's a high school and not a club lacrosse team. I am sure when JB sold the admin on giving this kid financial aid it was because their was a promise of 2 years and future benefit. Bullis got their tourney title but will get nothing else except a divided community based on sports. Same goes for their football and basketball teams giving African-Americans (not PG Kids which is just a thinly veiled reference) scholarships to play football and basketball. If a school can't field a competitive team without giving scholarships, and this goes for Landon too, they shouldn't have a team. Doing this in the name of diversity lowers the purpose of the diversity program. Let's see these schools be transparent in who they are giving aid and towards what purpose and it will be ugly.

Transparent. Dude! It is none of your business.

It's high school. Who cares if a kid comes for a year for sports or because his parent is in the military or a diplomat.. who cares. OMG! He won't be at prom, tragic.

Not every kid goes to a HIGH SCHOOL with the intention of visiting it for the rest of their life, actually the idea that so many in this area do is what is so bizarre.

For many education is a transaction, I pay you tuition, I get an education... I get your school name mentioned in a game watched by every college scout in the nation, I get an education.

Stop acting like a rube. [/quote]

One of the main sources of teen depression and burnout is when their parents treat school like a transaction for sports...very unhealthy. We are not talking about the military family who gets transferred. We are talking about the Dads who obsess over junior's playing time and are willing to transfer multiple times (or limit opportunities in other areas of school life) in hopes of boosting exposure. They tie their self worth to junior's accomplishments, or not, on the field. Very sad and short sighted.[/quote]
