Coaches Jobs

Avg is ok. I was running the high jump at a track meet. Some coaches came up to me and said you can't start the bar at that height not everyone will clear opening height. Wth. I think I'm done helping with field events. I missed some of my daughter's events to run that. No way next year.
MSHSAA guidelines: In the old days, it was 4 inches below the 8th best. Now it is 10CM. If less than 8, same for the last on the list with a height turned in. If a kid cannot clear that, have them find another event.
 
Accountability has gone out the window today. Kids are not held accountable for the actions. The system is set up to allow them to continue that path.

The system is set up to cater to parents. Most parents want you to hold everyone accountable. Except when they want you to cut their kid a break. There's where the lack of accountability stems from.
 
This is a great cranky old man hangout.

The system starts with the parents. The 'system' only does what they have to due to laws and board decisions.

Reality.
 
I've always said, parents are all supportive of discipline at school, until it applies to their kid. About every fifth email I send home to a parent you get the "well he doesn't act like that at home, that sure doesn't sound like him", or "I'll talk to him", then the next day you get another reply "well, that's not what he said happened".
