ehhh actually we were pretty spoiled and petty.... How dare we be asked to pay for our own safety and security and some of the cost of the French and Indian War which we benefited from. How dare they. Not to get all History Teacher on here, but our refusal to pay taxes following the FI War was only part of it. The Quartering Act and the Intolerable Acts were pretty bad and I doubt we would stand for such things today; nor would we accept virtual representation as it was proposed to the colonists. Moreover, when we sought reconciliation from King George he refused to help, and in fact declared the colonies in rebellion before we ourselves declared rebellion. 100% but again the root cause was the taxation, our balking at the stamp act and the taxes imposed resulted in King George doubling and tripling down in a "I'll show those ungrateful colonists whose boss" type of way. Which only lead to it spiraling more out of control. The whole thing began with, "what do you mean we have to pay a tax for the war you just fought?" Those Massachusetts merchants wanted no part of increased taxes in any form, represented or not. Everything else was fuel to the fire, as awful and wrong as they were, and they were. But it began with, "what tax" "why" "no we don't think so" That being said.... Murica!!!

How dare they. well to pick nits we were perfectly okay with the concept of paying taxes. what we didn't appreciate was the lack of voice in the say so of the how, when, in why taxes were levied. if by spoiled you mean that the Americans were thriving because of self governance and individualism, then yeah we were really spoiled. True on most levels.... Although the argument can be made that even if the British would have extended parliamentary representation the rabble rousing merchants of Massachusetts still would not have been happy.

Ha ha - I still remember, 30 years ago as a student, being in AP History. Teacher out, no sub showed up. We were in the middle of watching some movie about the Revolutionary War. So we put the movie on, turned off the lights and watched it. About 10 minutes in, we hear this running in the hall, and the Asst. Princ. comes whipping around the corner into the room, was all "what's going on in here" - obviously someone had figured out class/no sub. We were just sitting there, pointed at the TV, and said doing our work. He was floored. Asked a few questions, and figured out we were actually behaving responsibly. So he turned off the TV, turned the lights on, sat down, put his feet up, and said "okay, let's chat about our troubles with the colonies" (he was from GB). Was a great class, he walked us through what their version of events was/is. One of those little HS moments/memories that sticks with you. And this is why we fought the Revolutionary War. Bunch of independent Americans just doing their thing, trying to get ahead, don't need no hand holding, but here comes some powdered wig royal gonna tell you how things are. ehhh actually we were pretty spoiled and petty.... How dare we be asked to pay for our own safety and security and some of the cost of the French and Indian War which we benefited from. How dare they.

Subs that don't do anything that you wanted them to 100% agree with this one. My current district has/had some really great subs; however most were moved into full-time positions as they came open, so that only leaves us with pretty chitty options at this point. (Not all in my class, but in schools I taught in) Some of our subs greatest hits are: showing the Starz show Spartacus in a 7th grade class because "The documentary you left was just so boring, and the kids didn't like it." Telling a 6th grader that he would "beat his @$$ in the parking lot if he doesn't get to work" Attempting to buy weed off of a student Blowing whistles at kids who weren't working hard enough which caused one of our Autistic kids to have a complete meltdown that took our SpEd teachers 40 minutes to resolve. Ranting about, and I quote, "All the queers going to hell, along with any straight person that is friends with queers." (There was an openly gay student in that class) Last but not least; 40+ year old male sub told a 16 year old Jr "with a body like that, I bet you never have to pay for anything. When you turn 18 how bout you let me show you a good time?" Yeah, there have been some unceremonious firings take place by lunch early lead for post of the year

US History, and Gov/Econ include three to five essays on each unit test. We all have to give the same tests too, so if your students don't do as well as your peers then you will be reassigned to a terrible teaching load or a terrible school. We have to turn in detailed lesson plans, maintain a detailed website and online calendars, attend afterschool meetings every week that cause us to miss practice ...We also have no union protection at all. We don't have tenure, well, I guess we sort of do, but it isn't called tenure. They can pretty much run you off in three years if they want. But they can certainly make you want to quit in one year. We also don't have coaching contracts. We coach "at-will." So the admin can let you go at any time with no explanation whatsoever and you have no recourse. ...My district is one of the wealthiest in the state and 3 times if my career, during a district budget crisis, they have said "well, let's just cut sports out then." Didn't happen, but it was on the chopping block. Coaching here also still included driving the bus, painting the fields, cutting grass, etc.
Yeah, but that's the way it is. Doesn't mean it has to be, should be, ought to be.... Or is everywhere. 1 of the worst phrases in the English language is, "that's the way we've always done it"

I know exactly what rcole is talking about. He is in the next county over, and I've worked in it before. This same county announced to us that the county (15 high schools) schools would be rated each against each other. If the school was not above the average, the DO would take corrective action. I'm no math major but unless everyone is exactly the same score wise, then there always is going to be a 'failing' school. Standard bell curves always have and always will exist in every measurable endeavor mankind can possibly conceive of. The fact that supposedly "educated" people (education administrators and others) don't understand this, or refuse to understand this is just absurd.

I don't give my sub any real teaching to do or a movie. I just leave a ton of work they can't possibley finish and tell them I'm taking it up for a grade when I get back. I'll just give them a daily grade when I come back if they did it or not. I do that in hopes they will have so much to do hopefully the sub will keep them halfway quiet so the principal doesn't have to come to my room while I'm out. Exactly this... I couldn't imagine asking a sub to teach something or present a lesson. They get a packet of worksheets which deal with something we have already gone over and discussed and so much work that they have to work non stop and stay quiet to have a chance to get it done. I don't even look at it when I return other that to pick it up and look at the names to make sure they made a real attempt at it, if a substantial amount was complete full credit lets move on to the next day.

I was just reminded of something which makes me rage in the classroom:
I have a class which is a problem class. Last class of the day, classic under achievers and unmotivated bunch, coupled with serious classroom management and behavioral issues. Because of such, It's a "Co-taught" class meaning I "have" a "co-teacher."
By "have" I mean he's assigned to be in here and in the room and working with me and the students. However about half the days of 1st semester he was nowhere to be found. Either driving a bus for the district at the end of the day so leaving early to get to the bus shop, get the bus, and get back. Or doing personal things like printing out {censored} for his "training and certification" program, or doing laundry (yes he was doing personal laundry one day), or trying to sell his truck, he had someone come up to the school to take a test drive one day around the school parking lot, so on and so forth. Never here and if he is or was hes about as useful as, I do the lesson and then we split the class up for them to do their work in smaller groups. Its just a mess. Absolutely makes me want to snap.
Those precious days he is here he becomes more a distraction and classroom management issue that the kids sometimes and gets them unfocused and off track more often than helping. 1 day last week the staff got ice cream from the principal during our 10 minute afternoon break. Normal people smashed the ice cream during the break then got back to work to finish the day. This guy, brings the damn thing into the classroom distracting the kids getting them all riled up over the ice cream and basically shooting the entire class period and killing it as a result. Or he'll sit in the back and be on his phone distracting me and the kids.
Worst part about it..... he's "on" our football staff. He's about as useful there as he is co teaching too.

When hired there was an expectation that this would be attached to the job. I'm not saying all positions I'm saying that schools at their discretion should be able to tie things together if they wish too. And if you know it up front then I see no problem with it. If you don't like it or don't want to coach you are more then welcome to apply for one of our non attached teaching only positions. But what if you get fired as a coach from the job? That comes with the territory if you don't like it again, you are fee to apply for one of our unattached teaching only spots and have more security. But your ideas are made under the supposition that the district would not want to keep that teacher in the teaching position. No my ideas are under the assumption and argument that it should be the districts choice. If they want to tie positions together it should be their choice, if they don't and thus don't want to support athletics because all the teaching positions are tied up with no one coaching then that's their choice as well. But if I were an administrator I would want to have a number of positions tied together and I would want great teachers who are also great coaches IN MY BUILDING and if I hired you and you decided you were burnt out on coaching I would want to have the ability to fill both of your jobs with someone who was able to do both of the jobs. And that's not slighting the academic side of things its saying that both are important.

That's why some of these jobs should be attached to one another. Not all, but some. This slot is a SS and varsity assistant football spot, that's what it is and its expected that you do both and do them both well. If you get to the point where you don't want to coach anymore thats fine hand in your resignation for both and hope that you can apply for and get hired for a teaching only slot in the district or move on to somewhere else. The only slots i agree with you about would be PE. We have a guy who is eating up a PE slot and coaches nothing. the other academic slots shoudnt be tied to coaching at all. Why should it be any different? If a school goes out and hires someone for a spot as a teacher regardless of what subject and in the process it is understood that the person taking that spot is going to do such and such extra curricular activity and an agreement is reached. If the individual changes their mind after a year or 2 can't it be argued that the individual took the job under false pretenses? They took it and agreed to do the extracurriculars just to get their foot in the door and once there and established they wiggled out of the other part of the gig. When hired there was an expectation that this would be attached to the job. I'm not saying all positions I'm saying that schools at their discretion should be able to tie things together if they wish too. And if you know it up front then I see no problem with it.

Its not just football, other sports are a real problem in my area. A school hires someone to be the head cheerleader / softball coach etc. She does it for a few years then quits, but keeps her teaching job. She is well within her rights but it makes it difficult on the admin. They have to find another HC, but dont have the teaching slot. It really hurts the small schools that have very few if any teaching openings in a year. That's why some of these jobs should be attached to one another. Not all, but some. This slot is a SS and varsity assistant football spot, that's what it is and its expected that you do both and do them both well.

So guys can't earn a living teaching if they have been a coach before and choose not to coach is what this guy is saying. Not to mention he doesn't seem to think highly of Phys Ed teachers. I get he's advocating for full time head coach jobs but the article does a poor job of getting that point across. Happens around here a lot, guy gets in teaching because of coaching then after they are tenured in a good district quit coaching but can't get them out of the teaching job and soon there are no jobs to offer. Small moral of the story: If you want a coaching and teaching job DO NOT major in PE (full disclosure I am a PE teacher myself) get Math, Science, SpEd but not PE!
Or get 7-12 SS, 6-9 middle math, and PE..... OPTIONS OPTIONS OPTIONS
But he has a point. The jobs at least some in each school should be tied together in my opinion its the only way you can keep coaches in your building as an administrator. And if you get hired in as a teacher/coach and you want to pack up the coaching you should also be asked to pack up your other job.

It's one of those "for the greater good" deals and this is one I'm ok with taking a hit on. Ya, giving people free stuff sure has worked for the past 50 years. Let's take more of my money to support kids that aren't mine!! I'll end my hijack now. I feel sorry for you. That when faced with hungry kids at school your thought is "that's going to cost me money and it's not my kid" and not "that's a shame let's find a way to help this kid."

"That's a Lil Suzy problem, not a Mr. Coachcb problem. Garbage or locker, your pick. You've got three minutes to figure it out." #BreakfastShaming Don't know about Lunch Shaming? Google it.

1. I hated bottle flipping until I tried it. True story. 2. Classroom-wise: Some days are boring, and some days are interesting. That's life. Kids need to learn the skill of "suck it up and do it. It ain't always fun." 3. I really rage when kids walk in and ask, "What are we doing today?" Seriously kid? I will tell you when the bell starts class. Jesus yes to number 3.

This is gonna sound weird, but 90% of any classroom annoyances I have are with other teachers. Particularly those who don't do a good job of engaging and educating. Students bottle flipping, texting in class, or not participating, at least in my view, is a sign of not engaging them enough. If it were just about delivering information to the kids then I would have them sit in a massive study hall and learn from an online lecturer; have a couple security guards walk around and call it school (save a lot of money that way). But thats not our job as teachers, our job is to engage these kids- and it can be difficult to make them want to be a part of something compulsory that on the surface is boring- so that they learn. My number one issue is with "I am here to teach and you are here to learn" teacher. Not because the statement is factually incorrect, technically it is right, rather because said teacher usually doesnt actually teach, they just hand out assignments and drone on. Add on to that the- I can't control my classroom teacher, although usually I feel compelled to help them a bit more if they are trying. And how much engagement exists in a college classroom? Or in an office setting working to complete a task you boss has given you? I too believe that there needs to be engagement in engaging lessons built into what you do but its also true that knowledge and education comes through sweat equity. At some point it boils down to you have to role up your sleeves do the task and put the work in. By making things as engaging as possible all the time for these kids aren't we eventually doing them a disservice?

The Ohio system is the best I've ever seen or been apart of and I'm familiar with the system of quite a few states That's a frightening thought. It's far better than the stupid district system that so many state have. So many states with 5 team districts where 4 teams make it... or worse 4 team districts where each team makes it. Just dumb. Ohio your strength of schedule and wins determine who gets in.

I feel like each state's playoff system should be determined by people from out of state who don't like football so their only motivation is that it makes sense. The Ohio system is the best I've ever seen or been apart of and I'm familiar with the system of quite a few states

Along those lines... you guys that do these entire staff devotionals... I couldn't work for you. You want to say a prayer before we eat by all means get after it I'll join in too, but a staff devotional or bible study for an extended period of time... Let's focus on the work and lets leave the personal stuff like religion and biblical theory and interpretation at home and personal where it belongs.

I've said this on a different thread, but I can't think of another husband/father who spends most of his time with his family on the weekends. They're busy working on something or doing some type of hobby. I don't see why it would be different with football. I don't have a family so that's easy for me to say, but it would be unusual for others I know to spend most of the weekend with their family. This! Now admittedly I don't have a family of my own but I get around my family (mom, dad, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts for more that 12-20 hours at a time around the holidays or extended breaks and I find myself looking at a clock every 10 minutes wondering when I can leave. But maybe that's just me.

725- Varsity players go watch film- captains run film- no coaches present That's going to be a disaster...

Ok lemme try. 7 hours go to practice 3 hours in positional meetings - 10 that's enough to go over the gameplan day 1, and then do practice review and review parts of the game plan on the other days 1 hour in full group meeting - 11 That leaves me 4 hours to plan. I need three games broken down. It takes about 45 minutes to prescout and 45 minutes to break down, so that won't work. I can cut out certain fields like hash and simplify my breakdown, get it down to about 1 hour each. That leaves me one hour to gameplan. If I don't change much week to week it's possible but tough. That's 15 but I need to be really organized. And who's importing practice film? And who's planning practice? Who's drawing cards? So to fit the 15 hour timeframe I need to keep cards to a basic set. That'll take one hour to draw. Planning practice and scripting is maybe thirty minutes each day, so two hours a week. Now we're at 18. Dealing with film in the tech side is three hours a week, so 19. I need to steal back four hours. I can maybe claw back one hour from positional meetings, and half an hour from the O/D meeting. If things are consistently organized I can save an hour dealing with film. If I keep a library of stock cards I can save another half hour. So I'm now at 16 hours but I don't see where to cut without hurting myself. Now, if I could delegate some stuff to quality staff... HASH is going to save you 45 minutes? {censored} its like 3 minutes to get hash done for a game.
