I believe Father Ryan wouldn't let him graduate early and that is one reason why he transferred.

I talked to my father in law last weekend, who's still on the FRHS board, and told him he needs to move to have that rule changed. He said that's a long standing "rule" and he's not touching it. Yet he can't give a reason why it's in place to begin with. Sounds very Catholic lulz.

Revenue. Small private schools tend to run much closer to the line and would be hurt if a portion of a class left half way through the year.

That's what I asked my father in law and he didn't answer it. I asked what do you gain by forcing them to stay besides another $7k in tuition money and he was mum. Based on amenities, FRHS isn't hurting for money though. It's like stepping foot on a small college. The new weight room they built a few years ago probably puts Vandy to shame.

Capital improvements are different than operating budgets at private schools. Facilities are often covered by benefactors, while teacher pay is tuition based.

I'd be shocked if FRHS is strapped for money. I don't consider them a "small" private school, at 1000 kids paying roughly $14k in tuition money.

The biggest crock in all of this is the TSSAA rule and giving private schools a 20 mile radius worth of a student population base. The rule to begin with is stupid but if it's going to be implemented it should be confined to a kid living in the metro school district. When you start getting into other counties there's an issue. Ensworth has had kids from Giles and Maury Co come up so they're "free" to transfer home if they wish because they're outside the radius. Private schools can't de facto recruit from an entire mid-state area and then get protected as well if a kid wants out.

I know nothing of that school. I do know something about how small private schools operate and was just offering insight on how that affects finance.

My mom teaches at the Pre-K level at a truly small private school and they're extremely strapped on the operating budget as well. They stay "open" more than the local public schools in order to generate more revenue. Meanwhile, my mother-in-law with a home economics degree is teaching in a catholic school and making more than 2x what my mother is making with a masters in early childhood education. Both have 35+ years of experience.

If the music thing doesn't work out you can set up a sidewalk booth and draw pictures like the ones of people with large heads doing sports and stuff.
