Part of instructional curriculum taught long before setting foot in the jim.  If you don't win the game, at least win the fight!  Indians history indicates, they won't be down for too long.

Gorilla you went about that all wrong.  you are susposed to say something that is out there, funny, insightful.  you are right about teams that don't reach potential though!  I AM a true fan our YOUR's ;)

Where is gorilla, porter playa, socrates?  love to hear gorilla's logic more than most!!!

No one is "entitled" to a job....... those sports affect around 30 kids, the coaches that coach them, the bus drivers, etc... Sports is the reason alot of kids go to school and pass!! Posted on: March 04, 2011, 03:14:04 PMPosted by: pirates  I don't think you understood me.  MY HUSBAND IS A COACH, MY KIDS PLAY SPORTS, and I am a teacher.  I understand ALL SIDES.  No one mentioned anyone being "entitled" to a job. Saying that, you could also say your kids are not entitled to play sports either. Your kids are entitled to a free public EDUCATION, not being on a team.  I love watching my kids play. My daughter was 1st team all district and I was there supporting her at every game!  I want you to see the bigger picture of everything this will be doing to your school system.  Your children will be suffering with more than just cutting budgets for sports.  Teachers are laid off because of those same budget cuts.  Think about their families.  Yes, sports are important ( I totally agree) but so is classroom learning and resources to make that happen.  The thing is....we are losing more than most realize....sports is only part of it.

If it comes to deciding between someone's salary (teachers being laid off and yes it is happening now and as a teacher I know) and cutting jv games, etc. (my husband is a coach and my kids play all sports at varsity, j.v. and jr. high levels) then I would gladly say let us keep our jobs as teachers and cut jr. high, j.v. sports if it came to that.  People are not getting the bigger picture that sports are important but being able to support your family is more important, don't you think?  Since 85% is payroll, teachers are paying the price and your kids are going to also.  Life isn't fair.
