Nederland students are being short changed in a number of areas, and that is what the Bond is trying to address. This Bond is all about keeping the students competitive in the 21st Century. It is about Progress and expanding on programs that the District is unable to, because of the facilities are stuck in the 1950's. You are obviously basing your opinion on test scores and what you determine as academic achievement. Progressive proponents of the Bond package are basing the need, on being able to compete in the ever changing world of education where students are prepared for the FUTURE. This is not about reading, writing and arithmetic. You are talking about an "adequate" education and the proponents are talking about being the BEST.

So Reagan, what do you "project" to be the increase in the "cost of living" in Nederland because of the Bond? Because any numbers you throw out there will only be a guess. You and nobody, including the best Economist in the world, have an absolute determination as to the impact on the individual. You say that the Bond is full of wants, that is your opinion. Based on every other thriving School District in the WORLD the Bond is full basic educational needs in the 21st Century. So you accuse the supporters of lying to the voters, when the negative propaganda you are spewing is chocked full of biased projections that are mere guesses.

Yes, which 100% of home owners with a mortgage will never see, because property taxes are built into your mortgage.

Maintenance cost will actually go down. Expenditures for upkeep will be diminished. Dude, you are losing me here......

Progress my "friend." Move forward or get left behind. Kids should not have to do without, just because a few people are not willing to increase their taxes by .02 cents per dollar of property value

I wonder if our "friend" has Air Conditioning in his truck? Does he electric door locks? Automatic windows? All of these things were "invented" since the last "new" school was built in Nederland, if I'm not mistaken.

Really, really dislike lies and manipulations.

Technology, it is a crazy concept, but you might want to embrace it. I really think it is here to stay. Progress, it really is a good thing. But, when you haven't kept up, it cost a little more than it should to catch up.

Heck of a lot more to education that pencils and paper. Did you know that they don't even have text books in most schools now?

Can't stand liars and manipulators. Just tell the TRUTH. If you don't think Nederland ISD needs everthing spelled out in this Bond Package (AND MORE) then you must not have been to ANY of their campuses in the last 50 years.

Maybe he wants his Son to be a Coordinator so he can justify giving him the Head Coaching job when the new school opens up?

Just 70? That is interesting.

Yes, the Purple and Gold bird of Prey will fly south when the night is Grey and the Orange and Black, King of the Jungle will own the Tundra.

Congratulations to both of them!!

I know, i just wanted to be the first to bring it up this time. I know someone that want's this job really bad.

I will go ahead and bring it up. Miles Robison???

Haven't we been down this road before? Same story, different season? Talent that underachieves.

Isn't the OC his brother? Or, is he just on the staff?

Will Joubert now be an assistant football coach?

That is a sad state of affairs. Not sure I have heard of any situation (at this level) that matches this one. So much potential and so much apathy towards football. Huffman is a tough situation too, but at least the kids do enough to be competitive there.

Dang, that is sad. That is all I can say. I appreciate the honest assessment. Just a couple of those baseball "only" kids could make a huge difference. Especially if they are "right" ones.

This is a full season award, not a half season award. And in the case of Barlow, a career based award,

I guess as an Outsider, who only sees BC kids on rare occasions, I just don't understand why there is not more success in football.

Not my intention at all, and if I insinuated that the coaches were at fault, then I apologize. I was just curious what the BC faithful on here felt like the problem was in the football program. You have told what the problem is NOT, in your opinion what is the issue?

And, I guess some kids are just plain scared. Understandable.
