Kestrel Heights.
- Thread starter Sleehrat84
- Start date
There was talk a few days ago but not a done deal. Unreal that this went on and for so long. People either have no clue or do not care but parents still want to keep their children in the "cozy learning enviroment."

What shocking is the amount of time this was occurring and they are just now closing the doors. Smh
Surely this ain't the same gal that always claimed she was from Lexington, North Carolina. Her name was Christina, " Crystal " Hights, or so she claimed. She was a strange sort, always keeping a pack of Lucky Strikes tucked into her large brassiere, a raven perched on top of her pillbox hat, she donned Brogan boots that appeared they'd spent the last evening stompin' house flies in the Port-O-Let, always sharing a cup of kahlua and a splash of coffee, a freshly picked batch of blueberries from her blueberry garden, the sports section she'd give me because she claimed she " wouldn't know a volleyball from a goat turd " , her coal black hair supposedly was coal black because she claimed she had worked in the coal mines in western Pennsylvania, and she always was strumming her Australian autoharp as the following tune played on her red and yellow AM radio. I'd laid a trillion to one she'd never ended up in the educational genre.
With the new realignment starting this fall, what conference were they going to be in? How the heck do you find replacements this late?
Kestrel and Chatham Central both were put in a un-exciting league with private schools out of Durham and near-by there. The state gave both a break though and allowed them to be outside of said conference for Football only. Kestrel stays a solid 100% Independent while Chatham is kept in the YVC. Kestrel had a very ecclectic last year with 4 public's and 4 privates so I expected they designed it the same.
Only teams I know of on their schedule so far is North Moore week 1 and Bishop week 4. I wouldn't be suprised if Chatham is too. So worst case Chatham could play Bishop or Bishop and North Moore could perhaps or Bishop/Chatham picks up one of the eastern private schools or even Carrboro. There are some options left but I agree I feel for these schools this is awful.

Going to be hard, schools have contracts with other schools for particular playing dates. Chatham Central and North Moore have two options really, 1. Fill the Kestrel Heights date or 2. Fill their bye week and use the Kestrel date as a bye.
Technically, KH was an independent for football, thus, they may not have scheduled CC for a football game, though CC and KH were in a conference for other sports, competing against other charter schools (Research Triangle, River Mill Academy, Chatham Charter, Woods Charter, and Raleigh Charter). I'm sure North Moore is trying to get a replacement opponent to replace KH. Ditto for Bishop McGuinness.

Charter schools in theory are good ideas until half the teachers don't have licences to teach what they are teaching. Head masters hire friends, family friends, aunts, uncles, cousins, you name it. Its a political mess in those schools, no way I would send my kid to a charter school. They are all show and no substance.
Some of the best schools on the state are charters. Some of the sketchiest are charters.
