So we have a Superintendent at a "suburban" Class B school claiming that they are siphoning off kids from the private schools. I guess this will be the next class of schools for everyone to hate.
I think you need to read that again. He is making an educated guess. Is he right? Could be. Could he be wrong? Maybe parents moved to south Minot and that is a better option? Maybe they think that since it is a new school, it is a better school? What I am trying to say is that the Sup is making an educated guess. he is not actively siphoning or recruiting kids. He is managing a school, a new school, with new facilities. There are just so many scenarios I could throw out.
I won't comment about Private Schools. Unless you have direct experience in seeing the recruitment or worked undercover there, I just don't think you can form an honest opinion. I saw public schools recruit in the 90's and private schools recruit in the 90's. But I do agree with The Schwab; they have access to resources that the kids in our small Class B schools do not. Does it justify them into Class A, I am torn on this. I see it both ways.
Wife and I attended Thursday, watched the rest of the time. Good atmosphere but I am not sure I could say it was better than the days in the 80's or early 90's when we attended the games. But I am growing older so maybe I am just trying to relive the past. I think the offensive talent is there, but the defense is lacking. I ready an article that AAU ball is killing our kids. Had some merit I believe, sigh; another argument for a different day.
Might be pulling calves later today, any volunteers? lol
