Quote: Sandman: In the end, how can someone be legitimately upset about their kid NOT making a H.S. team when: a) The coach keeps 30-or-so kids on varsity. And b) That 30 has already been watered down by movement to BE, AMHS, Academy, etc. The reality is, if you're really upset about your kid NOT making the team -- if THAT'S your priority -- transfer your kid to BE or AMHS. Just don't be surprised when he's cut there, too. In the end, it's NOT about too many kids for too few positions. It's about each kid's ability to play and make an already bloated roster. Once you get 30 deep at ANY school in SC, regardless of enrollment, NOBODY can complain.
why are you trying to personalize it & turn simple math into the ramblings of a disgruntled parent? we don't know each other & why are you dragging the coaching staff into it? my point was a general one that was brought up by the super of schools a few years ago btw as to the inequities of sports participation at wando because of the simple math. if nobody can complain then why do they. there is a strong undercurrent of wando parents who just roll their eyes at the futility of their kids even bothering to try out anymore because of the simple math problem. I stand by the statement that the student athletes of mt pleasant are not well served because of the simple math.
&btw since you brought up the boys soccer team of 30 & then detailed the problems associated with that team of 30, I totally agree & still wonder what are you arguing about???
