Robert Dillingham needs a new high school

[AE82]

What do you mean? There is no information anywhere suggesting he is also attending another HS.

Does Donda offer an online curriculum now?

Because Dillingham has admitted he does his coursework online, during his freetime.

Also, from an article citing Donda leadership:
The school is not yet accredited, Andrews confirmed, but has recently applied for accreditation with the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, the leading accreditation agency for all academic institutions in Caliornia. (The organization’s first visit to the school is scheduled for December, Rolling Stone confirmed with a WASC staff member. Andrews says the visit is in spring 2023. )

Accreditation is key in ensuring that graduating high schoolers’ credits and diplomas will be accepted by colleges, as some institutions may not recognize students’ credits or diplomas from unaccredited schools. Among the criteria to be accredited, WASC requires the school to have a chief administration officer who is qualified for the position, as well as qualified instructional staff. 🤣🤣🤣

So doing coursework online means he attends a different school? That makes sense lol

Here are 2 articles with good information about whether accreditation matters.

Does accreditation matter? Is it necessary? Aren't there lots of fine private schools which are not accredited? Answers to these questions and more here.

Is an Accredited High School Diploma Important?

What is the big deal about homeschool accreditation? You might be surprised by the answer.

Some colleges may still require accreditation, but it is very few and continues to decline. It's an old school way that it used to be, and many people like yourself still have that line of thought. This will be my last post to you.

I recommend you contact UK yourself since you refuse to accept facts.

If they don't offer an online option, how would he be doing it online for them? Nothing in their curriculum mentions online learning. In fact, it's the opposite. It mentions, uniforms, daily schedules, and class sizes. None of that indicates online learning. Nor was Donda even offering academics yet when Robert first went there. So if he was getting educated, where was that occurring? Also, seems odd they would be seeking accreditation if it wasn't a big deal. And surely you can name all these UK athletes and NCAA athletes that went to unaccredited high schools and were admitted to an accredited college?

Your article (even though you said 2 it appears to be the same link twice) is literally about how to overcome not having accreditation. If you need to overcome it, it sounds like it might be important to have.

Well, I called earlier when we were chatting, and I got the confirmation I expected. But since I knew you weren't taking my word for it, I did email them at 12:41 pm. Still waiting on a reply.

He goes to a different high school for his education. That school is accredited and there are no academic issues. He plays ball with Donda. There is nothing to worry about.

This poster said this on a different thread a few weeks ago.

Curious as to what high school it is. Can't seem to find anything about it. Just says he takes online classes.

Oh well. No need to go back and forth on it. He was already accepted to UK so that's all that matters.

I also couldn't find it. Could be true but nothing available to the public points to it.

 

[MWes11]

What was the headline for it though? Didn't it talk about admissions to US colleges? 😉

Sure seems odd. Which athletes didn't go to accredited schools before playing in college?

He didn't? You sure about that? 😉

I could be wrong, but I believe Tim Tebow was homeschooled from K-12 and attended the University of Florida to play Quarterback.

Maybe his mother obtained accreditation though. 🤷‍♂️

You do realize most homeschooling is done through programs where the coursework is submitted and verified, right? Many public school systems allow you to be schooled at home and submit the coursework for grading and credit. You occasionally have to take some proctored exams for verification of proficiency. Just being homeschooled doesn't mean you lack accreditation. 🤦‍♂️

Also, I believe Jarred Vanderbilt went to Victory Prep, which was not accredited at the time and has since shut down.

It was a charter school ran directly by the state until 2016. Then by HISD. So, yes, it was accredited which is why the state wanted to shut it down when the scores dropped below 66% in 2015.

 

[Fox2monk]

Are they closing the school just because Ye named the {-redacted-}?

Basically and what’s funny is they proved Kanye’s point lol. He’s been canceled for doing the thing he talked about. Criticized the wrong people.

 

[AE82]

Evidently, school is back in session! 🤣

Kanye West's Donda Academy Opens Again Just Hours After Announcing Shutdown

In a bizarre twist, Kanye West's Donda Academy has opened it's doors again -- only hours after announcing the school had closed -- and this time it's back "with a vengeance."

Meanwhile, the school's founder is getting escorted out of Adidas. This is another reason you always want to send your kids to an accredited school!

Agree to disagree. I know people that were homeschooled and they never handed anything in to have it be verified by an accredited school or body. Highly doubt Tebow did either. In fact, he says a lot of his homeschooling consisted of bible study (Parents were very religious which is why they didn't want him to attend a public or private school), so I doubt his parents were submitting his bible studies to be verified. So my point still stands that Tebow did not attend an accredited high school and he played college football.

Either way, this conversation has gone off the rails lol. I couldn't care less whether Dillingham's Donda school is accredited or not, as long as he is helping us win. And if he is ineligible, I won't be heartbroken, either.

Lol, if you say so, buddy!

Hell, Shaedon Sharpe's diploma was made out of a cracker barrel kids menu. Lets do the same for Dilly and get him here tomorrow.

 

[Oldbluefart]

He could always just transfer to a school here in Jefferson County, attend a JCPS school and call it a day.
We know this school system is accredited but no one said a word when they released test scores last week when it showed several high schools here in Louisville with kids in the 12th grade doing 5th grade math and reading work.
If this kid wants to play ball and not worry about his education, JCPS is right for him.
Sad it is this way.

Donda opened back up. He would have to find a state that allows NIL deals for High Schoolers, which Ky does not.

It has already been discussed why bringing him to a HS in KY won't work. KY HS's do not allow for players to benefit from the NIL.

Found this from another site...

the Robert Dillingham to Donda fiasco was so weird, his father was basically making it sound like Rob was kidnapped by his mother/handlers and pops was frantic because he wasn't even allowed contact with Rob while it was going down.

Just a very odd situation all around. Seems to be a lot of red flags surrounding Dillingham. Had multiple ppl on this board saying he would never step on a college basketball floor. Hope it all gets sorted out.

Not true at all, I work with his mom and was her supervisor for a while. All of that was false

That's our state legislature doing the people's work! 🙃

lololol

I’ll trust Sandy Bell over a wacko on Rupp Rafters.

Lol the myth of Sandy bell lives on.

By the way she doesn’t work for UK anymore. I guess her ghost now sets the record straight.

 

[chroix]

Donda is gonda.

Almost like a mega corporation doesn’t want to piss off it’s customers to appease a dude having a mental break. There’s a big difference between poking the bear and just straight up dry humping a grizzly.

 

[Rupp'sRunt]

Yep. You are right. At this point, I wouldn't be heartbroken if UK cut ties and just moved on with DJ. I just don't like where this is going.

Khsaa is living I the 1800s. This and the transfer rules are archaic

 

[Wildcats1st]

It’s simple. Rd was rumored to reclass. How about just enrolling mid year like our favorite all time cat oscar! (it can go one of two ways I guess lol) I’m sure he will be able to get a grade for the semester probably fulfill any credit requirements.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

The '23 class needs to be fully signed, sealed, and delivered to Lexington. No Sharpe situations. No DJ Jeffries situations. No Nolan Hickman or Skyy Clark situations.

All of these guys need to be here next year, playing here next year.

And yet, this feels like the least certain group of players Cal has ever landed.

Nothing feels certain about Dillingham or Bradshaw.

I swear, if this recruiting class starts breaking apart, what we saw with Sharpe will look like a Sunday morning picnic by comparison.
