Did he earn his doctorate? Yes.  But he hasn't put it to good use as far as BISD is concerned.  I do know someone else who is now the Super of  Abilene ISD who did all of the work and has done an outstanding job for that District and for Angleton previously. He has earned my respect especially for being able to go through everything else that went on in his life at that time.
 
As far as the Nederland Super,  I don't know him and can't comment.  He came on after the previous super that I worked for.

And my dad taught me at an early age not to judge a man by the color of his skin, but judge the character of the man. I have always lived by them words.

To answer your question soulja (no disrespect to you) I don't give a DAMN how he'd respond to me.

I dont have a problem with schools replacing 7th grade football with skills, conditioning, and flag football.  As the article explains most 7th grade teams are made up of 100 or more boys with only 3 or 4 coaches to coach them.  Most dont learn proper technique or much of anything.  They do have fun, but for what they learn compared to one more possible year of head injuries I'm not sure its worth it.  I think school districts should make this decision based on the wishes of their communities.  I doubt it will have a tremendous impact on the competitiveness of high school varsity teams.

All right.  First knock off the personal stuff.  Second, I would advise waiting for FACTS to come out instead of conjecture.

And if they keep throwing out rumors concerning a child this thread will not exist for very long.

:) 

Sterling made racist comments. I have no problem sayin that. Now, repeat after me.....I have said things in private that I would never want the world to hear. You will deny that forever.

Doubtful.  No reason to penalize the players or coaches.  They will probably do what they did to Marge Shott, Ban him from being at any games or the offices until the team is sold.

Yep.  She's got some serious leverage on you!

Lol, my daughter doesn't remember, but she is aware & uses it to her advantage. The story gets better every time we discuss it.

I bet you will never live that one down, Bigcam.

Me too.  Haven't touched the stuff since either.  Never tried Everclear, you might as well be drinking moonshine!

the cowboys don't need any more distractions.  i say we trade our 2nd round pick for a general manager.

Probably not, but it does make sense in some ways.  If Manziel falls to the second round it wouldn't be a bad to have a backup to Romo for not as much money.  Especially coming off back surgery.  Give him some time to mature and learn.

Yep another 7 years.  But a teenage girl in the house will be a lot of drama.  We get drama from her already!

Lol

Not in the playoffs.  :)

Calvin still trying to get his money...

Not football related, but I think all kids in High School should see this, it is a mock DUI situation that is put on at schools across the area to illustrate the effects of drinking and driving as part of the Shattered Dreams Program.  This one is put on at Hardin Jefferson High School , with participation by local fire, EMS and Sheriff's departments.  Strong stuff.  Here is the link to the video and article.

Exactly.  The board is not the final authority on anything now.  The conservator has veto authority on any decisions.
