Anyone have a good reason that's it's ok for public school football teams to have out of zone kids but not private school football teams?
like kids who play for welsh and live in jennings? like kids who play for amite and live in hammond?

All school are able to enroll an out of zone kid if the kid comes as a first time freshman that child is eligible for sub varsity
if the transfer happens afterward by rule they would sit out
So exactly how does the "select school" benefit?
it certainly helped Amite having a qb who signed with Kentucky

I think what he is saying is if a public school can have kids from outside their zone, but be classified as non select, why cant a private school. I think he is stating the rules are arbitrary and only meant to punish the private schools that are perceived to have an advantage.

Acadia Parish has at least 20% of kids going to the wrong school for various reasons. Church Point has probably 10-15 % of their enrollment from out of Parish. Nobody sits out a year. I normally wouldn’t care except for the fact that ND is deemed “select” for a lot less.

I will say this again, like I have said for years. ALL HIGHER CLASS PUBLIC SCHOOLS (3A Thru 5A) and some public Class 2A and 1A, have kids attending that doesn't live in the school district. It might only be 2, but they have them. That's why the whole situation with schools like Karr (magnet schools) being in non-select is a joke. Karr has tons of kids there who aren't in their attendance zones.

The issue that determines Select/Non select is do you have a mechanism in place the disallows a child from attending your school EVEN IF they live in your zone. Entrance exams, tuitions, ect.
People routinely look at this in the wrong manner.
If Barbe could select the kids they want to attend their school, and refuse admittance to all others, then they could effectively be 1a if they choose to have such a small enrollment. The ONLY way schools with selective enrollment should be allowed to compete for championships vs public enrollment schools is if they play in the highest classification (5A).

If they followed zones Crowley would easily be 4A, iota would be 2A, and Rayne possibly could be 3A. Now how is this any different than ND sitting right in the middle other than the $7K in tuition?

While no public school has to accept an out of zone student, NO PUBLIC school can remove any student for academic reasons, ever. Complete lie. Drugs, depends on scenario and doesn't fit into this narrative anyway. Behavioral if and only if all procedures have been followed in adherence to board policy and then and only then can they be sent to an alternative setting but they STILL count against said schools enrollment. Federal law mandates a "free and public education". Systems MUST adhere to those laws. Your statement is by in large totally false.

So why does alternative school exist if public schools don't have the right to send out their students?
If no kid can be removed for academic reasons why does the policy of time out exist?

Alternative school enrollment still counts against the school. Alternative school IS NOT a separate entity unto itself for LHSAA or State Funding purposes. Public school students, by law, MUST be enrolled in some fashion barring disciplinary reasons (and then only dire reasons) until the age of 16.
You seriously don't understand that public schools MUST go by Local, State, and Federal law?
The HUGE advantage any select school has is just that, they can "select" better defined as "deny" enrollment on a myriad of reasons.

The ONLY way schools with selective enrollment should be allowed to compete for championships vs public enrollment schools is if they play in the highest classification (5A). Wow, talk about looking at the issue in the wrong manner. You've got it all kinds of wrong. Your scenario of using a 5A school still assumes that the same number of students that currently go to Barbe are still going to want to attend that school should it suddenly become a private school. If Barbe as a public school suddenly ceased to exist, 100% of those students would simply be re-zoned to other public schools in Calcasieu Parish. The kids that were zoned to attend Barbe who were already in a private school would most likely stay in that private school unless the new Barbe Private offered something that their original school did not. So now Barbe private no longer gets a guaranteed amount of students from the parish AND must compete with other private schools in the area to attract those students to get them to attend their school. Don't forget Barbe Private school is no longer being funded by the state or parish, so now they have to charge tuition as well in order to pay teachers and staff, keep up the facilities and make updates and repairs as needed. How many of those previous students are going to want to pay $7000 per year to attend a school that used to be free? We haven't even touched on athletics yet. Do you think Calcasieu Parish is going to continue letting them use the football field and training facilities that were paid for by the taxpayers of that parish? Even if they did allow them to continue using those facilities, there would be a rental charge or some sort of usage fee to help the parish recoup the money they spent on it. The biggest fallacy of your entire scenario is that Barbe Private (or any private school) gets to choose who attends there. It would be great if Hamilton Christian could simply line up 1000 random boys from the Lake Charles area and pick the 50 or so best athletes out of the bunch. Sure, any school could do that and stay in the 1A ranks and win a championship every year. That simply doesn't happen. No private school, no matter how prestigious, can simply take a student and force them to attend that school. Even if offered tuition assistance, the student (or parents) still has to make the decision to go there. The notion that any private school can simply pick a student to attend their school and that student has no say in the matter is ludicrous. But that's essentially what you're saying when you make the claim that private schools can "SELECT" their student body. Then of course we go back to the part where you say it's not about who you let in, it's about who you can keep out. Yeah, we've heard that one before too. No one has shown yet how keeping students out of your school can help them to get better on the athletic field. You could have a point if (and I stress IF) the school is excluding students based on a lack of athletic talent. However, any school employing such a litmus test as that would be easily spotted and would be considered another IMG Academy type school. Any other method of keeping students out of your school would have zero effectiveness on improving their performance in athletics.

No special ed, few if any grade issues, cut the discipline issues, strengthen the herd. Comparing students to livestock seems a bit demeaning, but we'll run with your analogy for now. Getting rid of the slowest and weakest members will make your herd stronger. But the only way to do this on the high school level is to deny students admission to your school based on their lack of athletic talent. Name one school that requires you to list how much you can bench or record your time in the 40 on the admission application. Go ahead, I'll wait.
Having admission standards such as entrance exams may lead to higher test scores and better student performance, but again, that has absolutely no affect on the athletic talent entering that school. Keeping students out of your school does not increase athletic performance in any way. In fact, many of the poorer performing students and students with discipline issues are the every ones that will excel on the field or on the court. How does it benefit select schools athletic performance to keep these students out, especially from parents willing to pay tuition?
As for special ed students, what's the percentage of special ed students compared to the rest of the student population? Do you really think getting rid of the few special ed students at Barbe will drop them into the 4A ranks? Even if it did, simple solution is to get the percentage of special ed students in the state then add that percentage to the enrollments of all select schools. That cancels out select school's not being required to take these students (even though some do). You know it to be true, as does everyone else. But, like a you have a political stance you refuse to relent. Have a nice day and enjoy your school I'll refrain from the name-calling since I'm not 12 years old. I do have a stance albeit not necessarily political since this is not a right or left issue. However, my views are based on real world facts and not purely hypothetical and fantastical versions of what really goes on at a typical private school.

However, my views are based on real world facts and not purely hypothetical and fantastical versions of what really goes on at a typical private school. Ewwww, blue letters! You're obviously a genius. Yet, you cant seem to grasp the concept of having the ability to control enrollment, no matter if used or not, is an advantage. Pity. You discovered the blue button, yet still cant grasp that concept. Oh well, you cant have it all!

You discovered the blue button, yet still cant grasp that concept. Oh well, you cant have it all! That's the most ridiculous thing you've said yet. You say private schools have an inherent advantage, but can't name a single one that uses it. And because they have it they should be discriminated against and ostracized.
Do you also believe that someone who legally owns a gun should be put in prison because he has the ability to kill someone even though he's never committed a crime in his life? Because that's what you're saying about private schools and their so-called advantage. Even if they don't use it they need to be punished.
I understand your frustration though. You lash out at me because you have no substantive argument to refute anything I've said. Just keep restating your original premise with nothing to back it up. That'll work.

What does Neville have to do with the fact that Karr SHOULD be a select school? Besides, your statement is dumb. Neville is one of the only schools in the past decade who has hung with and beaten Karr. So, yea theres that. So why you even care which side Karr plays on? There are plenty of schools you could have mentioned other than Karr. It Makes you look like a queen. Southplaq said Karr being nonselect is a joke and I agreed with him. I didn't bring them up. Stop trying to BE right and try to GET it right. This makes you look like a sanctimonious, private school try-hard. Furthermore, Karr is an outlier. And, if I recall correctly, the LHSAA attempted to originally label them select but Karr's principal threw a fit and the LHSAA buckled. "Select" schools include "all non-public, charter, university lab and magnet schools" as well as "any dual-curriculum schools that include at least 25 percent of their enrollment as select admission students who do not live in the designated attendance zone." - This is EXACTLY why Karr SHOULD be select.
