[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or maybe they are good enough and the opportunity to get on the field isn't level. What, exactly, is the great life lesson here? Life isn't fair? That's a stupid point. I guess we should let the coach make all the decisions for the school and team without any oversight or without any relation to the school. You are an idiot, kid. [/quote] Level playing field. Wow, so much I could do with that. Sure they are good enough for another team but if you want to go to Landon or Bullis or Prep (in the past) you might be the best 8th grader at your school but still not good enough. You want schools to make teams worse so your kid can play at his level. The lesson is that sometime somebody is better than you are and you need to learn how to deal with that. Sometime you have to work harder or sit the bench or find another sport. The boys playing have practiced on the field, off the field, during their spare time, during practice and after practice. You are a helicopter, mom. [/quote] And you are an idiot. It's not about if somebody is better than someone else. No kidding dummy. It's about a much narrower situation of how to balance a community where some people pay and some don't. It's about how coaches react on the sidelines and off the sidelines. It's about how the school is perceived by the larger community of prospective students and families. And yes, if a school can't pay the bills or grow the endowment because applications and donations go down, witness Montrose Christian and St. Anthony's in NJ, because they want more wins rather than a better school than less wins is the way to go.
