[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think all sports programs should pick players by "lottery".  Set the bar at the top 85% of the sports team, then randomly pick the starting lineups.[/quote]

Such a poor analogy. So many great players don't "make the team" every year because of so many reasons.

poor sportsmanship, 
not gelling with the coach's program, 
stalled development (the kid who was a big star in middle school who hasn't gotten any better)
chronic injury

Maybe use a "starting lineup" analogy instead?

Oh, but then you would have to acknowledge that the starting lineup is chosen based on who the opposing team has playing. And then you might have to acknowledge that team's are not built solely on individual player statistics.

Coaches work to build teams that are best able to meet a challenge - And public school systems work to build graduates that can meet the challenges of their communities.

Wow.  Your inability to bridge the gap is mind-blowing.

You also added in a factor - that top players aren't selected because they didn't gel with the coach?  You're admitting that sports teams don't even try to be the best, therefore random selection of the top 85% shouldn't matter.  Defeated your own argument.

MCPS should be worried about their status in the global community.  The world isn't isolated anymore and that kind of thinking is very pedestrian.  But, if you don't get it, you don't get it.  But maybe if you get a cogat tutor.. [/quote]
