John... very mostly true... but there are teams, like mine, where the future composition of the team is affected by this.
We have always been a mixed-bag of public/private/home school students--we recruit public school students from our district... the private/home school students just find us and ask to join.
Going forward, we're instructed to be UIL compliant and no more private/home school students.
That's a BIG affect on this team and on my plans I had for the team... plus the affect on the future private/home students I haven't even met yet that I'll now have to turn away--which I can tell you will kill my soul a little bit each time I have to do that.
