I get that you have a beef with the soccer program, but as mentioned above, what the soccer coach is doing is common around here and arguably [b]not even unethical[/b]. I'm sure it feels that way if your kid is not one of the ones he ends up selecting or playing, but as long as some kids on the school team who don't play club with him are getting a fair shake, then the situations are nothing alike.

At our school, it would be considered unethical. Teachers cannot have an outside the school financial relationship (i.e. tutor) a student who is in their class. I actually raised this thread with our AD and they said "this would not be allowed at our school at all".[/quote]

I'm the poster you're quoting, and I think it's unethical too.  It's bound to cloud a coach's judgment if he knows the players from other arenas, and adding the financial element worsens the ethics.  But I can see arguments the other way, and my major point is that what appears to be happening in the baseball program is much worse in every way.[/quote]
