Finney and his entire staff are looking for jobs starting week after Thanksgiving. Enjoy the season guys. By the way... Moseley cant play, and the Yates kid is at Hardin Jefferson. [/quote]Why cant Mosley play? [/quote] Personal problems.  Maybe Liberty County courthouse can answer that better than me.

[quote name="oldsarge777" post="1402793" timestamp="1368180311"] If the school district has a better chemistry lab than the one they have at home, should they be allowed to utilize that also?  What about districts which provide the students with a laptop?  Should home schoolers be allowed to pick up their laptop for use at home?  They pay taxes.  If you require athletes to be in an athletic period to participate, do you require the same for them?  Do you give them a grade?  This country is being run by a bunch of former pe kids!  God help us!

[quote name="bradyb" post="1402622" timestamp="1368121423"] My opinion on this topic is.... It all depends on where that player stands. I agree with the comment above saying that if he is top 10 he should be on varsity. But another factor you have to keep in mind is the kid. You don't want the kid to play varsity and sit the bench and get bored or unmotivated. Trust me... that happens a lot.. Certainly different things to consider but [b]what needs to happen is the kid, parents, and coach need to sit down and talk about it!! [/b] [/quote] WRONG!! It is completely up to the coach to put the kids on the varsity team that will most help the varsity team win games.  It does not have anything to do with what the kid, parents, or anybody else thinks in the matter.

[/quote] People do not pay school taxes for a uniform for their kids, they are paying school taxes for an education.  If you opt out of the education, you should also be opting out of what comes with the education.  [b]EXTRA[/b]curricular

Against it 100%

[quote name="Big girl" post="1400207" timestamp="1367535687"] Tim Tebow was home schooled. ;) [/quote] Tim Tebow was home schooled at first...  then he attended a high school so that he could play football.  But,  he did not attend a high school where he lived.  He and his mother "rented" an apartment in the district of Nease High School.  He chose that school because he heard that Nease High School's coach had a passing strategy which Tim was looking for.  Good example 'Big Girl'.  Perfect example of following UIL rules.  Hahaha

[/quote] Exactly, a lot of wasted time in public schools. [/quote] That "wasted time" is part of it though.  Going from class to class....following rules and policies....being held accountable...  I don't know very many people that just get to "go home" or "go to the gym and work out" when there work is done.  In the real world most people work 40 hours a week or more...regardless if there is wasted time or not. By the way...  I have a friend who is a teacher.  She told me the time between classes was reduced to 4 minutes, and they have to teach from start of class to finish, and they are not allowed to check roll unless the kids are busy working on something.  And she said checking roll takes a matter of seconds because it's basically clicking on a computer who is there and isn't. You guys are just missing the point altogether.  Home school kids do not have same guidelines as public school kids. 

There are certainly exceptions to every rule.  I'm sure that the (homies) you speak are putting in more work than most public school kids.  And, those that you speak of will be more prepared for college than most public school kids because of what they are doing. You have to understand though...  there are (homies) on the other end of that spectrum as well. I personally know of home school kids that pretty much do the opposite.  Realize, most of the schools in southeast Texas are rural.  A lot of home school kids I know don't do much school work.  And maybe only a couple days a week so that they can actually work. (job) Either way.  You helped back up my argument with what you stated.  You know home school kids that finish their school work midday and then get to go work out for 4 hours of a school day.  How is that fair?  There is not a public school kids anywhere that gets that option.  Athletics class is 45 mins a day most of the time.  So public school have to wait until after 3:30 to get in an extra workout. 

There is nothing wrong with the idea of parents wanting to home school their kids.  They have that right.  In fact, we all know that public school programs have their fair share of problems.  This is not about that.  It's about accountability and fairness. This is about following the same rules and standards as every other public school kid that competes in anything UIL.  Rules set by a school district/school board, attendance, grades, behavior, tardiness, dress code, homework, testing, ATHLETICS CLASS, etc. etc. etc....  All of these issues for home school kids are monitored by a parent. It is impossible for anybody to say that home school kids and kids that attend a public school are on a level playing field when it comes to rules, standards, and accountability.  This whole idea is totally absurd.

HF does not pay worth a crap.  Hard to keep good coaches if you can't compete with other schools concerning salary.

Coach Finney has rekindled the fire and tradition for sure. HD has one of the most storied programs in Texas football. We needed him to wake up the sleeping giant. HD Nation! [/quote] C'mon Cat55!  How many state championships has HD won in football that has help them write your "most storied programs" in Texas football? :o ::) [/quote] Well surely they've won more than Celina...or Groveton.  Maybe Southlake Carroll.. or Mart.  Surely.... I mean Burkeville has won 2 state championships.  Surely HD has won more than that.
