... at Grady High School. I know I shouldn't be surprised, but it both amazes and saddens me that this goes on at the High School level.

14 football players fraudulently enrolled at Grady High,... | www.ajc.com

One in four Grady High School football players — 14 students— used faked addresses to play on the team and attend the school, said Atlanta Superintendent Erroll Davis on Wednesday.

In one case, a senior transfer played for the team but never set foot in the classroom, Davis said. In another case, two siblings were registered with different addresses.

“Once again it is adults failing children, and it’s children that get to pay the price,” Davis said during a Wednesday evening meeting with the community.

Parents forged names, falsely swore they were telling the truth and lied when confronted by the school district, he said.

It was common when I went to high school in TN for students from AL to go to school there. No one cared since it was a public school.

Hard to fault kids trying to get out of an AL education. If it can even be called education.

Sad part is, education wise, Bama is about ten spots ahead of us in the state rankings for the past few years, we were one of the three worst in the nation just a few years ago. One thing we have no room to talk about is our public education. Too much money wasted on other things or used improperly when it is gotten. (And this has nothing to do with Obama, Bush, Congress, or anything but what goes on inside our state lines)

I'm FL public school educated so I really can't speak for TN or AL. Just like taking jabs at AL regardless of facts.

In Tennessee you can go to any public high school you want to attend if they have an empty space and you pay an out of county fee. I knew a few people who attended Brentwood HS from out of county this way.

Armwood HS got stripped of title a few yrs back for same thing. This is common in Atl and most of Fla. Dade county had 200+ alone last spring. Only reason this came to lights is the APS test scandal.

Drop Memphis and we are in the top 20. Sad but true.

Chicago suburban Catholic schools recruit all the time -- then there was Lebron James going to an Akron Catholic school and driving a Hummer ---
