And if you changed athletics to other activities or a kid said that to his dad about safety at a school, that is a problem? I know parents that send their kids from a public school to a private school because the private school has a track record to get kids to college outside of athletics. Again, I do not see why this is a bad situation if a family can afford the move or the tuition. I have always found that kind of thinking to be silly on so many levels. If the schools are not giving anything illegal or benefits they would have not gotten going to another school, then what the heck is the problem?
