man what a day

Without going into detail for privacy details (of my students, not mine), let me just say this has been a hell of a day.

 

Ups and downs... full of triumphs and tribulations, good news and bad news.  Wanted to hug a couple kids, wanted to flat out kick a couple in the face, and just scratching my head at a few others.

 

This is one of those days where I sit back and wonder "how long can I keep doing this" and in the next breath "how could I ever do anything else".

 

Being a high school teacher in a public school in NC....never a dull moment.

 

Sometimes it's a job you hate to love.

 

Not sure what my point was in posting here since I can't mention any specifics. I can't even have a couple beers to unwind because I may have to go out to a school-related event later.

Coming from a public school system here in LA, I can appreciate the work that you do. Keep your head up and drink when you get home and kick ass tomorrow morning.

Meh people have forecast the future demise of civilization for decades. Most teens are good people down deep. Gotta look through the hormones to see it.

But more often than not they up becoming productive citizens. I can't tell you how many times I've seen even kids who were complete screwups in high school later on become darn good people.

    • It’s simple. Win and everyone in here will say the culture is good. Dear lord the amount of time spent on these posts is hysterical. We’ve seen the end of season swoons where you can tell the team had given up with many of the same leaders that took us to playoff seasons. When your OL is decimated by injuries, it’s amazing how fast culture turns. When you get on a tear like 2015, everyone’s having fun. You need the right people regardless, but they have to win.
    • The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.  
    • For our pics and trades tonight and tmrw.  Remember, Aho was a 2nd rounder and Slavin was a 4th rounder.
