OT: Thoughts on Charter Schools Winning NJ HS Group 1 MBB Championships

[tico brown]

With all the grief Catholic Schools get for doing what they been doing for years, two Charter Schools are getting props for doing the same thing as the one in Paterson wins the N1G1 championship and the one in Asbury Park won Central G1. A third, KIPP Norcross in Camden last their chance in South G1.

Publics were already experiencing some of the “recruiting” issues due to Choice Schools. Kids chose/changed schools overwhelmingly due to sports, not academics. With sports like basketball and wrestling just 1 or 2 kids can really enhance the receiving school talent and diminish the sending school.

They have the former Roselle Catholic head coach who is a great recruiter .

They lost to Lathan Somerville’s team in @The Battle@ at the RAC (aka JMA) in December

Agree with you. I don’t see how they can be lumped in with the public schools. Let the parochial schools and barter schools be lumped together.

Forgot about Newark Collegiate making it this far as well.

And unlike these charter schools that are glorified private schools that takes public money away from public schools, Arts is actually an Arts School that specializes in all types of the arts and sends kids to school majoring in Music, Theater, Arts, etc. Just like Jersey City’s McNair HS, where it take in only the best of the best that have to be able to do its curriculum or you get kicked out.
