I go to my son's games on Saturdays, so I tend to miss the college pre-game shows. I haven't watched ESPN non-live sports shows in years. They are biased, pump everything towards their own interests, and seem to worry too much about politics. When I watch ESPN shows it makes me dislike sports. I feel that are too much about Entertainment and their own interests. Not much different than watching Pro Wrestling. Except I like watching pro wrestling.

Is this a squeeze by eSECpn against the B1G?

We had a lot of remodeling and moving of a few classrooms. We had our new teachers come in and ask for things for their classrooms. I had a late order for a few items in their classrooms. I know you were being a smart alec, but I thought I should explain myself. Thank you for what you guys do. It has been a great discussion I was following. I do think that many people have a lot of opinions about what we should be doing in education, but few are willing to pay for it.

I am an administrator at a private HS. We had some type of merit pay. We had it changed to a degree. I didn't administer the program, other than dealing with the student surveys. All student surveyed all of their teachers. It was anonymous. I never saw any of the info other than mine. Only the principal and the teacher. I would say my info was 100% accurate. My principal said most of the student surveys were super accurate. I am not sure exactly why they changed how the merit. It is still there in some form. The student surveys are no longer used. I am told that our best teachers move up and our bottom ones don't move as much. There are many reasons that merit pay could be tough to do in public schools including: 1) Public schools are already under funded. Will tax payers want to pay more for this? In bad school districts, they can pass anything in their districts 2) What will teacher unions say? 3) Evals can be tough. I think a lot of things in describing great teaching can be subjective. (although great teachers tend to love their kids, not sure how to measure?) In our program, our principal had to observe every teacher 3 times in a year. That means pre-eval meeting and a post-eval meeting. I couldn't help with the process. It had to be the same person. When he was in the middle of these, we never saw him. Our entire country need for public schools to be great. But public schools have a very a lot of issues going on in their schools. EVERYBODY thinks they are an expert. Politians want to run it, lawyers want to litigate it, parents want to protect little Johnny. You have learning disabilities and behavioral problems. You have extremely gifted kids who need to be challenged. Also, it should be noted that the amount of time it takes to be a great teacher goes way beyond 40 hour weeks. NOT EVEN CLOSE! My wife is an elementary teacher. I would bet she puts in about 70 to 80 hours a week. And during Christmas break? She works, during spring break? She works. They start school August 17th. She started working 2 weeks ago in her classroom. We are also Christian private school teachers. We make a fraction of the money of our public school counterparts. I am pretty sure that none of our administrators make over $100,000. I think our teacher that is starting his 51st year makes under $60,000, but to be honest, I am not sure. I just know how the pay scale used to work. I guess through all of my rambling, I am trying to say, there are no easy ways to fix the system. And really, I am not sure what NEEDS to be fixed. Where your school is will indicate how good the school is. Anyway, I am headed to bed. Long day coaching FB today and spent the afternoon ordering things for my school so we can have a smooth start. Of course this was all on a Saturday. Is that part of the work week? No, but people in the education business don't get the luxury of 8 hour work days. Good night!

You have to have credibility to lose it.

Once Disney took it over, you can throw all of it out the window. They don't care.

This X 1000. I am around a bunch of them. I have been told by one that all of our National Championships were flukes and not earned.

I talked to my friend who is a HUGE Washington fan and lives in Seattle. He said that his cable provider doesn't even carry the PAC-12 network. IN SEATTLE? WOW! I asked him what he thinks. He is all for the change.

If I was Trev, I would call Mizzou and Colorado and say, Hey, I want to try to bring you into the B1G. Once he has them on the hook? Say FU I was kidding! Oops, spoke too fast, just saw the rumor with CU.

We need to start beating them into the ground and treat them like the piece of crap they are. Instead we let them dance allover us and wave goodbye like they do the kids in the hospital after the 1st quarter of their FB games.

They did a nice job wrapping it up.

But, but, but, LeBron, but, but.... I get tired of hearing from these youngsters. Is LeBron great? Yes, but not the greatest. There are many that don't think LBJ is event the best of his era.

Our board already said a big no for our schools. I haven't heard anyone say they would want to carry. Our board already said a big no for our schools. I haven't heard anyone say they would want to carry.

I guess you saw what you saw.

Hey, he got 3-5 tough yards on his own. I am taking nothing away from him, but, that blocking was top notch. To not see it? Well... Oh, maybe you were being sarcastic.

Wasn't that the game were someone for Portland said that people went easy on Jordan because they were all friends? Or something like that?

I am sure he wishes he had blocking like that in college.

I think the approach we need in our country to solve many things involves "both/and" thinking and not an "either/or" mind set. Until that happens we are screwed. Great solutions involve coming together, not from a society that is massively divided by political agendas.

I wish him the best. He gave us all he had. He was coached and allowed to play the way he did. He had swiss cheese for a line. AN OC who never developed a running game. Had coaches who never helped him when he was struggling. Would I be shocked if he tore it up there? No. Would I be shocked if he was average? No. But I think his environment, team, and coaches will determine it. Just like it did while at Nebraska.

I got to tell you, I made nachos with Doritos one time because that was all I had. Might be the best nachos I have ever had.

At what point do we change this thread from covid to Monkey Pox?

Ohio voted against NIL for HS athletes. Thank god! https://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/high-school/ohio-high-school/2022/05/17/ohio-high-school-principals-vote-against-name-image-likeness-nil/9798275002/ Although we thought we could give free tuition to any kids who get a tattoo with our school logo.

Schools should teach kids how the think, not what to think. Schools have never been meant to be echo chambers.

I am sure this has been discussed, but I don't know the answer. To what degree can Russian Citizens access the outside world via social media and news?
