She is entitled to her opinion as am I. You disagree and hate what I post all you want....but she lives it every day. I will tell her to created her own screen name so their will not be any confusion in the future. [/quote] Actually, you are using your wife's BISD email as your board contact info so technically, it is her account.  You might want to change that.  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who you are.  I did.  I'm just sayin..... ;) [/quote] Yet we know nothing of you as your profile is hidden.  Now that you know her, maybe you can visit her in her classroom and see it for yourself.

I was trying to be formal and curt...but ok Soulja. ;D I guess I need my own screen name...I hate it when my husband is right!

Mr. BMTSoulja 1, Yes I am the "Wifey" and I have yet to hear any constructive rebuttal from you. Obviously you got nothing from my post...So let me reiterate: I am tired of being the laughing stock outside of the Golden Triangle.  Goose Creek has nothing positive to say, Humble has nothing positive to say, Galena Park has nothing positive to say, Channelview has nothing positive to say, and sadly neither does Port Arthur about BISD!  And that is just our district, you can only imagine what the other districts say....Oh wait, they don't even know we exist.  Now that's progress! When you have to get your team's district schedule from another coach in another district, IT IS EMBARRASSING!!!  And things like that happen all the time!  Yes I live it, yes I defend it, and yes I would like my administration and super to stop making bone-head decisions that I have to defend when I am outside of this area!!! Now, the reason why I stay is because of my students.  They have been put in my life for a reason just as I am in theirs.  I didn't get into education so I could be stepped on every time I turn around. There have been alot of things to happen in this district of which many of the public have no idea.  Our district is broken (morally) and the people that can fix it have no idea. That is what you should have gotten out of my post. Sincerely, MRS. Tupac7 "The Wifey"

You know there are a lot of opinions here.  But if you came into my classroom at West Brook, you would see the real problems.  Regardless of the TEA ratings of our schools, we all have the same issues of dealing with educating our youth and it is virtually impossible to do when all we can do is fight about naming stadiums and who is better at UIL competitions and who has a more difficult curriculum and what ethnicity makes up what school. Simply put, the wind was taken out of many teachers sails when Dr. Thomas named the stadium after himself...I myself am very discourage about the move.  (I do realize that the board voted this issue through, but any prudent man man would have declined the offer and did what was best for his district and its public relations.) And now I have to defend, yet again, my district when I go to Houston competitions of the idiotic moves our district and school board make.  I am sick and tired of being a laughing stock at competitions outside the Golden Triangle. And before anyone attacks the ability of my students, my children are very competitive and usually win their competitions.  The insults, jokes, and sarcastic remarks are in reference to the administration and school board decisions.  I give all I can to my students, to my school, and to my district.  It would be nice if the district could do the same for the people(students, teachers, and staff) that make the district what it is.

The team is 9-2 in district.....has a chance to win it and the you got the freaking peanut gallery running their mouth. Hey man hush....and let the man coach his team.

The facilities at all three high schools suck...as do all or most schools in BISD. You got more portable buildings in this school district than you do in most rv parks. The guy had enough nerve to put a pre-fab builing at Westbrook....which has had nothing but problems...not mention that we have freaking hurricannes all the time. This guy is an egotistical idiot.Yet the the school board gives him clearly outstanding evaluations and another year contract. If we wanted to get rid of him it would cost us well over a million dollars. Second if he is so loved, why don't he man up and go back to at large positions in BISD. He has done nothing for us nor will he ever, yet we name a freaking stadium after him. I appreciate the member that stood up and voted no...and detest the former West Brook teacher who used to nothing but gripe about he was at school, until she became a hob nobber on the school board.

Steve Avery on the bump for Vidor.... :D :D :D :D

With that said im not commenting on Carrol Thomas but on the teachers of beaumont, and i think they are doing a great job with what they have. The citizens are to be commended for passing the bond to improve the schools and if you are mad about something do something productive to make a difference not just complain on a website. [/quote] I agree... trying to compare them to the Southlake Carroll's of the world is not even close to fair. Two vastly different demographics. [/quote] Don't we want to have the best...Doesn't everyone strive to be the best. Compensation should be based on performance. The schools, facilities, and test scores are better at those places...plain and simple. Quit making excuses about how it is not fair to compare schools because of social demographics. That is just settling instead of trying to be the best. I for one want to see us on those levels. If he gets there pay him a million dollars..If he doesnt find someone that will.

I do not follow any particular district....my job takes me several places... I am just stating FACTS... BISD and its sup. can not measure up to the upper schools in the state.... I want them too, but they can't.. so why is he the highest paid sup. in the state... you can give the hater answer or you can give the truth or a honest opinion...

I have my opinions just like everyone else does. It is MY OPINION....based on where I have been and seen school districts for what they are I think he is over paid and not very good. You are right that was a shot I shouln't have taken. I have been to the Plano, North Dallas, Sugarland areas and based on facilities of schools, test scores, and yes athletic facilities...I think he is over paid and does a poor job. I also think A-Rod is over paid. With that said... if the people that be want to pay him that much than we should vote them out...and yes I have and will always vote to improve our community, and do what it is right. When he gets are schools on par with the Plano's, the Fort Bend's, and the Dallas Schools (South Lake Carroll) then I will be alright with him making that kind of money, because he is earning it. I hope does for our kids sake.

They should call it " Get way overpaid for below average schools stadium"

Vidor  wins.... whether its 20000-0 or 1-0......they win... take that to the bank

They got beat by a better team that night...just like when nederland got beat by westbrook.....kirby pitched a great game and hats off to him... but the table can turn at anytime... not saying that Nederland is average.. because I ont't believe that... I think they are a heck of a team... especially the short stop who is a beast... but I'll take Vidor's coach any day of the week over Nederlands... Green is baseball and does more with... for lack of a better expression less than anyone else in the area....good luck to both....cant wait until vidor and nederland in vidor....... :D :D

Ill take 5-2 going in to the second round with Trae on Tuesday schedule....When Vidor make the playoffs it gives Trae and extra few day to rest befor the first playoff game which can be very benificial. The bottom line is you want to get in the playoffs and win. You can look at alot of the past state champions in all sports...NOT ALL WERE DISTRICT CHAMPIONS. As for Mr. Aggies Are We, I really wouldn't second guess a coach who has got a program from the cellar to competing for a district playoff spot each year. Just because you didn't get to see what you wanted doesn't mean that it was the wrong move. By the way Coach Green is going to do what is best for Vidor baseball...not the beaumont suprise....not for the television stations, and not what some internet coach wants hom to do. Sit back enjoy the ride and watch the pirates not only get in the playoffs, but make a little noise.

need to bump vidor up in the poles aftert this win.... you throw hester on the bump and Vidor is as good as anybody in the area

I dont know about LCM but I dont know that I have ever seen Van at a Vidor game anyway. 

If it is not an issue then why did the school board members feel that they needed to cancel the game? Please do not say financial reasons because we know that not to be true. If they would just come out and admit their mistake then I would let it go. The fact is the two school board members told the sup they did not want to travel to vidor and then the sup told the coach. This is when the head coached called and caneled the game, AFTER they asked us to play. Admit your mistake, say your sorry and the issue will be dropped.......

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FINANCES. The sup. was told by two school board members that they did not want to come to vidor because of the race issue. The sup then caved in and told the head coach to drop vidor. I am very disappointed in the sup. If you look at their website he preaches about diveristy and helping everyone get along, and how they take great pride in including everyone. This guy must not believe what he says or else he is just a puppet. It is very discouraging to see all the work that Coach Mathews and his staff have done thrown away by some who is still living in the past. It personally makes me want to throw up. [/quote] And u may be right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [/quote] or you may be wrong!!!! Unless your ties are with the school board in Crosby, then you don't know. It seems you are from vidor sense you are crediting Coach Mathews and his staff on the job that they have done. The word around Crosby is that it had to do with finances... and that is all we have to take it for... sense we don't work on the school board and don't know what really happened.... Even if that was the case, you really can't blame Flanigan or the sup. Flanigan has to answer to the sup and the sup has to answer to the school board.  You can't blame a community for the actions of a couple of people. Just like I can not blame the whole town of Vidor for the KKK protests in the streets in the 90's, or when I wittness the helcking of a black coach from Livingstion by some fans in the croud when he was walking to the press box when Livingston played Vidor last year. There is discrimination in both area's.....personally I wish this could all go away... but that is the world we live in today.... I don't want this to become a Crosby bashing..... Crosby is a great place to raise your kids.... I moved to this area from the golden triangle and have found just as much community interaction, pride, and sportsmanship.... Both places are great!!!!!!  [/quote] This came from your head coach....I am not blaming him, but that is what he said...you can only spin it so many ways.... I am not bashing crosby, I personally have friends that work there, I am just  upset by the way this was handled. By the way crosby contacted vidor about playing....so if it is  a financial issue then why would the head coach call and want to set up a game?

20-4a rolls .......great job png and central....go get nederland and vidor

ETBU taught be to defend what you believe in whether its the popular thing our not. You could call my athletic director if choose, unfortunately you would get me on the other end of the line... Again I will repeat, GOD, FAMILY, TEAM and I will defend them to the end.

I'm not playing the Christian card... I am calling a spade a spade. You are more than welcome to come talk to me anytime. Send me a message and when can discuss like adults... I personally find it pathetic that you attack a coach from the stands.... hey buddy man up and come talk to me personally... send me a message anytime and we can sit down and talk about how bad coaches are these days...I can take you bashing me, but shame on you if you do around my family or my players
