    Your mind isn't capable of seeing past the spelling ? I could correct peoples spelling and puncuation all day but I'd be a dooofus (spelling?) like you , something I try to avoid. You may only be capable of seeing things  surface deep  and no deeper. Typically the spelling police folks always throw out spelling when they cant comprehend the statement. They bring the conversation down to their level

     

     

     

     

    I don't know nor do I care about your other opinions

    I'm not concerned about the football, I'm more concerned about the mass brainwashing taken place. The majority is always wrong or there wouldn't be so few chiefs and so many indians. How else do so few leaders control a population that out numbers them kazillion to 1 but through deception ? They can't physically control them so they control them mentally.

    The government scouting report reads: These people will beleive anything we tell them.

    i guess you think spelling is a mid control weapon as well

    I never made any remark about special needs children, you tried to say something cute, but stupid, because you try to make this personal.  So let’s just try to stay on topic if your attention span will allow you to stay with the rest of us.  The topic is not who I am or what I am, it’s how the current superintendent and Board have screwed this up again for the kids in this community.

    Man all he did was quote what you said. 

  22. Should UIL have other sports go to divisions like football?

    Personally, I never had a problem with separating playoff teams into divisions after district play. 

    I'm just wondering why in football it's all about "fairness" and travel is not a factor but in other sports travel is a factor and "fairness" is not?

    I dont personally care either way, but there seems to be more parody across other sports whereas due to depth reasons, there seems to be more of an advantage to bigger schools in football specifically.

    I have friend that coached in a Houston area high school.  Married a girl, had a kid... ended up going to work in the industrial field down in South Texas.  He bounced from just under $60k to over $100k instantly.  Fast forward two years and he quit the industrial job and moved the family back to the Houston area and actually snagged his old job back.  Still hitting about $60k and non-stop whining about the salary. 

    I get it... It's way more fun to coach up kids and not have to worry about the weather, even longer hours than coaching, job insecurity, safety in the workplace, etc... But stop whining already.  He's doing what he wants to do... there are lots of other options out there.  

    An analogy I'd use is this.  There are guys that operate heavy equipment on pipelines.  They usually have to move around and follow the work which means time away from home.   When they actually have jobs they work tons of hours, but the pay rates are phenomenal.  Those guys are subject to layoffs at any minute and production in their workplace is of the highest importance.  Same thing with crane operators in the plants.  Long hours, night shifts, job insecurity, sketchy benefits.... but the pay makes up for that. 

    Then you have the guy that maintains streets for the City of Groves.  He works five minutes from the house, works 4 tens and has every weekend off.  He reads the paper in the crapper every morning after he clocks in and is back at the shop by 3 o'clock every day waiting to clock out at 4:30.  He's just checking days off of the calendar until he can retire with benefits.  Everybody knows how completely useless those guys for the 4 hours per day that they're kinda-sorta filling potholes.  

    Now imagine the City of Groves guys moaning that he doesn't make as much money as those boys on the pipelines or refineries do.... they're all equipment operators, right?

    That pretty much sums up my opinion on the "teachers should make as much as everybody else" hoax. 

    i do think teachers are underpaid, but I also got into this because I love teaching and coaching and have thought about switching careers a time or two, but I could never justify switching based solely on salary

    i, think your points on the other issues is what is really driving teachers away from the industry. We've never been paid well, but teachers are only starting to have a mass exodus recently.
