Just a tragedy for Indiana high school sports. Who will endlessly call for conference realignment now?

So does the NEA, ISTA, etc.

Commitment lol

Pretty sure you, Rodney, and I could win at Ohio State. Not impressed with Day in the slightest.

Indiana high schools currently the best for athletes? According to one study, which accounts for survey feedback from students and parents—accounting for "reviews of athletics, number of state championships, student participation in athletics, and the number of sports offered at the school"—and data from the U.S. Department of Education, these are the top 25. 25. Scecina Memorial High School (Indianapolis) Total number of sports: 20 24. West Lafayette Junior/Senior High School Total number of sports: 18 23.

Much like government school lobbyists (mostly ISTA/NEA shills) find certain stats to toot their own horns while ignoring other details. Oh, and throwing shade on charter, private, and parochial schools while they are at it. Gee, go figure.

Let us hope it continues. https://fordhaminstitute.org/national/commentary/charter-schools-outperform-traditional-public-schools-average-heres-why

I’ve got you. Carmel and CG to the HCC. FC and Noblesville to the MIC.

Good grief. A simple "I'm enrolling at another school" would do just fine.

Less than half of property tax dollars go to the school corporation. You want your tax dollars to pay for your child, I have no issue with that. But a LOT of other people's tax dollars are paying for it as well. If that was the case last time you looked, then it has been a while. Segregation is not just based on race. 8.9% of voucher students are African American, while less than 20% are Hispanic. Most voucher students come from homes with an income of $100K or more. Over 30% come from homes earning more than $150K. So students are segregated based on economics as well. Then there are students on non diploma track; special needs students. Most non public schools will tell parents your child is better off in the public school. It's those students after all, that set the amount per student that schools get. So the value of a voucher is based on the costs related to the students in schools who would never be admitted to a voucher school. There are a number of other students as well who would never be considered when applying to a non public school. Those schools get to pick and choose who gets in and who does not. They also get to choose who stays and who they ask to leave; setting standards that are illegal to have in public schools.

Ok. Then I'll just have to take that you support the notion of government school corporations receiving all the taxpayer funded education dollars for every student within it's geographical district, regardless of how many of those students are actually enrolled in that school corporation. That's called "having your cake and eating it too", a idiom that organizations like the ISTA/NEA at least covertly embrace and support. As for me "openly supporting segregation", I support a parent's right to choose what kind of education their child receives, and the taxpayer dollars that come with it. If that is "supporting segregation" then so be it. I guess in your mind all parents who choose to send their child to a charter, private, or parochial school are "openly supporting segregation" as well.

1) The families using the vouchers pay property taxes too. So I’d argue that it means they’re getting the intended value from paying them. 2) What segregation are you talking about? Can you expound on that - preferably with some kind of real-world data from Indiana’s program? Last I looked at it (which admittedly was several years ago) racial minorities were over-represented in the use of the program. That is, racial minorities represented a higher percentage of voucher users than of the overall state population.

The SEC has been doing this for years. And they play one less conference game than everybody else to avoid having half their teams adding a loss to their resume. They pad their win totals and pound their chests. Rinse, wash, repeat.

Clemson is garbo and Dabo will join his buddy Nick lobbying for the removal of NIL soon enough.

Small minority of kids where vouchers make a difference as to whether or not they can move to private education. For a large number of public kids, the voucher amount isn't enough to make that difference for the move. Similarly, for a large number that are in the private schools already, this amount is windfall as opposed to necessity to stay. And if you are special needs, for many, it doesn't really if the amount is enough to cover tuition, because many private schools only handle low-level special needs at best.

I wouldn't call that game a beatdown. HH scored a TD with a minute to go to ice it away. It was a great game between the two best teams in 3A.

@Muda69 talkin’ football! Like the first robin is a sign that Spring is near, this means the season is right around the corner.

Because it had NOTHING to do with the voucher topic. The rules have not changed since you were last here. I am not going round and round again with you on this. if you want to stay around, then drop it. If not, let me know. You can have at it on Muda's OOB forum all day long.
