So... about this brawl between Kelly / HF - 7on7
Razor and 3 others reacted to AggiesAreWe for a topic
The reason there was no media coverage is because this 7 on 7 wasn't a state qualifier tourney. It was just a "practice" type to get ready for the state qualifying tourneys. Was no need for coverage, particularly since it was on a Saturday. Klein is clueless when it comes to sport media coverage. He was just wanting to take shots, which he enjoys doing. Now as for no law enforcement working this event, that can be questioned. Video isn't the greatest so it's hard to tell if an officer or two was there or not. I agree that the parent should have been arrested. This was just another "hit piece" by Klein. The dude really needs to get a life.4 points -

I got a little defensive. I wasn't trying to belittle the job itself or people who do it, and made my point in a poor way. And I respect y'all's arguments about 5-day weeks. I do think people tend to overestimate the effect it'll have on the average family, though.2 points -
It's comical reading responses to this from people who have no idea or understanding on how anything works. As with anything else that you want to give your opinion on, do your homework (couldn't help myself) and come in with some legs to stand on. The rebuttal of "working parents", how do you handle Christmas break/Spring Break/Thanksgiving Break/SUMMER? The removal of Friday doesn't mean the kids are losing time in the classroom, that time is made up by starting earlier and finishing later M-Th. People throwing the wages argument of "part time work deserves part time pay" are ignorant if you think teachers are swimming in it. I can keep going but unless you're involved, you can't possibly understand. My wife is in year 12 at a lower socioeconomic school and to help with getting by with 3 kids I continue to work my 6-day a week job. Thanks for taking up my lunch break with your ignorance.2 points

Kids will be kidsβ¦ form of trash talking is part of the game. Gotta control your anger. If you donβt want them to trash talk do your job and lock him down, complete those passes, catch the ball and get open and etcβ¦. but this could have been way way worse situationβ¦. Thank goodness it wasnβt. Parent attacking a kid. Straight clown behaviorβ¦. Wrong kid/ family getting attacked could have resulted in a shooting/stabbing or whatever. People today seem to be more trigger happy imo.1 point -

I grew up in a military family (Dad was a Marine), and I went to elementary school in San Diego for several years. We went to school for 12 weeks and then off for 4 weeks (60/20 schedule) with 4 rotating tracks (Track A off, Tracks B, C & D were on and so forth). But that's back in the mid-70's when there were a lot more stay at home moms, all the school kids' families were mostly lower middle income at least and there were great communities of military families in our military housing that could help each other out. I can't imagine that type of schedule these days.1 point -
Local Murders
thetragichippy reacted to tvc184 for a topic
Wrong!! Location doesnβt matter. Take Mid and South County for example. In the last 5 years, PA has averaged 14.5 murders per 100,000 people. The 3 Mid-County cities with almost the same population as PA (56k-pa v. 50k-mc) has 2.5 murders per 100,000 people. Adjusted for the slight population difference, it is 2.75. So cities literally across the street from PA have the same murder rate of about 3 per 100k people in MC to about 15 in PA. Oh waitβ¦β¦.1 point -

Ironic. After our 3rd child was born, we decided that it would be better to stop daycare due to cost (mostly), and have my wife stay home with the kids. Not everyone can afford that... Luckily, @Box1 can tell us how we "have no idea or understanding on how anything works".1 point -

SmashMouth reacted to thetragichippy for a topic
Here is my cent and a half..... I can only speak for me, but the wife and I both work. We used a daycare before he was in school and a couple hours in the afternoons when he was in school, until he was old enough to stay at home. We hated summers because daycare went up because he was there more. I often thought if I had 3 kids, it would be cheaper for the wife to quit her job......Adding 52 (rounding up) full days to an already expensive bill could be devastating for some people. Personally I like the 5 day school week, it mirrors most jobs they may get when they become adults.1 point -

You apparently donβt understand how it works, on more than one front. We receive 187 days pay, prorated through the course of the year to ensure we receive a paycheck in the summer. And districts are required to work a certain amount of minutes a year, with 4-day districts adding minutes to each day, working certain Fridays, and an extra week or two or three a year to make up the difference. And you clearly underestimate the difficulty of the job, and the value a good teacher has in society. Like a profession there are good ones and bad ones, but I donβt understand your attitude towards teachers at all.1 point

Personally, it seems that if the Woodville players are equal or even better than the Newton RB that they too would have by now got the attention of some school whether DI or not. By theory that is.1 point -

The first video was filmed on a potato apparently, but the parent who jumped a player shouldβve been arrested without a doubt. As an HF fan and employee, thatβs embarrassing. Hopefully our district takes whatever actions necessary against the players involved, and the parent if possible.1 point

Congrats to my friend. Going to miss him court side. @Mamba is on point. Thomas or Sneed would be excellent replacements. But this is a prime time job. It should attract several highly qualified applicants. Be curious to see how BISD handles this.1 point -
