My thinking was that this is the next step in the progression of "free market" lol education. The "choices" will only apply to those with the resources. The ones with no "choices" could just start working.

Conflict of interest, or no? https://www.indystar.com/story/news/politics/2019/01/28/lawmaker-who-owns-perfect-north-slopes-pushes-end-state-child-labor-laws/2657091002/

without a doubt. Honestly, I cannot remember a time when IU EVER lost 6 conference games in a row.

We will see. They have been impressive, but even Clappy had nice runs each year in Bloomington only to fizzle at the end.

The only program that seems able to sustain itself in that culture is Duke. Calipari was able to do it for a while. But once they fall off, it seems it’s difficult to recover. My guess is that Cal takes his show to Westwood next season. It may work for a while out there, as no one has mastered it out West. Coach K is head and shoulders above the crowd now. As far as Romeo goes, there might be issues, but is seems teams have figured out they can pack the lane as it is the only high percentage area for IU to score from. But the way the season started, the team at least worked hard, especially on defense. I do think something off the court happened. Not sure if Green’s suspension was a by product or a catalyst to what has happened. I am worried that a loss to Rutgers, which seems likely, will put Archie on the hot seat. Sure it is just his second year, but the lack of competitiveness against Michigan is just not what anyone would expect from an IU team. If he has lost the team, that is a difficult thing to overcome.

The gerrymandering of districts with the super majority has him running unopposed. At least that has been the case his last two terms.

Senate Bill 373 http://iga.in.gov/legislative/2019/bills/senate/373#digest-heading

I will look it up. It was another gen from Senator Kruse. I am going to take a wild stab in the dark and say the answer to your question is no.

Go to the facebook page Teabonics to find this one. There are some great comments to go with this. I just scanned the actual tweet from the President. The replies there.....wow An FYI, the President based this tweet on a bill that has been proposed in this session of the General Assembly here in Indiana. It passed out of committee.

Other mainstays have returned to the OOB Forum, so it is time for this one as well. This is awesome. https://metro.co.uk/2019/01/17/headteacher-laid-to-rest-in-coffin-covered-by-drawings-by-her-pupils-8356704/

Same is true in East Allen....New Haven, Leo, Woodlan, and Heritage.

As I watched the “game” against Michigan, I was shocked by the overall lack of effort and energy. Looking like they did last night, they may not win another game this year. As frustrated as people were with Crean, he never had a team this bad. I cannot remember a time when an IU team lost 6 conference games in a row. Not sure what is going on, but there must be something off the court or in the locker room going on. Sure Michigan is a better team, but not 20 plus points better.

Best of luck on your move and your new adventures DT. We certainly have gone round and round ourselves over the years, but one thing that is undeniable; you generate a lot of conversation here. Looking forward to hearing how things are going for you in the Southwest. A HS friend of mine moved there recently, taking the job of director of rec sports at U of A and absolutely loves it down there.

There is a sportsbook in Jersey that is refunding bets made on the game.

Pretty close; being a guy from a family of 5 boys (2 girls as well). I was the 5th boy. I give the others a hard time because with all of us loving football, only one of gots rings 🤣 and the first coming from the first one in the family to attend a public school too. We were not spread out like some other families though. The oldest was born in March of 60; me being number 6, was born in September of 66. We have tried putting mom up for Sainthood, Now word back yet from the Vatican though.

There are other videos coming up that would say otherwise. Not taking a side here, as the behaviors of numerous people on all 3 sides seemed to contribute to the chaos.

From a sped teacher in our building Basic skills juniors and seniors now have to take ISTEP. They are only in elective classes yet have to take the English LA and Math portion of the ISTEP even though they are enrolled in functional skills math and English. Let’s remember these are the kids that since they entered elementary school, we knew they would be counted as failures against our graduation rates, by law.

It is. But the pathways and changes in classifying special ed students is forcing more certifcate kids into core 40 classes as well as standardized testing for school grades and our evals.

Sad for my alma mater, but happy for Coach Gooden, former NH coach. He is a great coach and even better man. It is a shame the rematch will be in the sectionals.

Add to it that both teams had a lot of young talent on the field, pretty guaranteeing their spots in the game next year, and maybe even beyond. If I remember right, years ago, the NCAA changed the number of scholarships that could be offered. The impact was more noticeable in basketball as it spread the top talent across more programs. But even in basketball, we are seeing the same few teams at the top again. Part of me says things like what we have seen exposed at Louisville are the norm, and that some schools have the cash for the top talent that lures them there, but that programs that have not been caught are just smarter than the people at Louisville are.

Talk to the special ed teachers in your district.

Look next to “Forum” in the browse tab in the upper left. You should see the word “Clubs”. Tap on that. You should see a link to join. Each time you want to enter the club, you just tap where it says club on this screen cap.

The deadline to get all the info in for nominations was January 4th, I believe. It was definitely in the early part of January, just not sure of the exact date.

We have 3 at NH. The girls' State Championship was last weekend at Hamilton Heights. We had 1 State Champion, 1 Runner Up and the 3rd finished 6th.
