Thank you for the candid answer, Robert. I think things will improve at CSF when the vast majority of the parents/guardians sending their children to it's schools actually give a crap about education and stop viewing the government school as nothing but a taxpayer funded babysitting service for 9 months out of the year. There is also the ultimate preferred outcome, and that is the complete and utter abolition of government funded education, but baby steps.

If these entities had a robust, scalable backup/recovery strategy such ransomware could be wiped and their systems up and running in a matter of hours.

So you don't believe defensive coaches can "figure out" an opposing offensive scheme? If you play the same school every year and and every year they run the same offense don't opposing defensive coaches pick up on certain tendencies and can "coach up" the defense to recognize those tendencies? That is all I was positing. But in the end it is the Jimmy's and Joe's who trump the X's & O's. If you don't have the athletes to run your particular offensive or defensive scheme then you are most likely in trouble.

Hmm. I wouldn't classify sprawl areas like Brownsburg, Zionsville, Carmel, Westfield, Avon, Greenwood, etc. as 'small town' in any way, shape or form. I remember driving through Westfield on US31 on my way to/from college in the mid-late 1980's. Then it was a small town, not anymore. And I fear New Palestine is on that path.

Because I personally find the benefits of living in a suburban sprawl a bit dubious. I did it once for 8+ years and couldn't wait to get out. Then IYHO why is Frankfort a tremendously difficult place to teach?

While towns/communities like New Palestine reap the 'benefits' of being in the path of the ever growing Indianapolis donut county urban sprawl.

Free Speech Defenders Warn Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez That She Is Violating the Constitution by Blocking Critics on Twitter: https://reason.com/2019/08/29/free-speech-defenders-warn-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-that-she-is-violating-the-constitution-by-blocking-critics-on-twitter/ Snowflakes on both sides of the uni-party coin.

I don't like you. And I can assure you that my life is just fine, surely it is more interesting than your life of an octogenarian greedily counting his ill-gotten taxpayer's dollars.

No. And how exactly how are your upvotes 'earned' gonzo? It's pretty clear you, Dante, and Night Hawk (aka BARRYOSAMA) have a nice little upvote/downvote circle-jerk troika going on. And actually it's been a fairly quiet last 24 hours:

Yes, I have noticed. It's nice to know I am such a treasured part of his daily routine.

They can be one and the same.

Looks like a fellow who really cares about personal freedom and small government. He'll get my vote over the big government uni-party candidates. Every time.

De Blasio Advisory Group Wants To Abolish Gifted Classes in NYC Public Schools: https://reason.com/2019/08/28/de-blasio-advisory-group-wants-to-abolish-gifted-classes-in-nyc-public-schools/ A gigantic race to the bottom, and using race as the scapegoat to gut talented and gifted programs. Shameful. But then again when it comes to government education everybody needs to just be the same cogs in the machine. As one of the comments to this story stated: "As a recovering public school teacher, and I can tell you that dumping everyone into one big mixing pot classroom ain’t gonna help. Teaching to the bottom only wastes the talent of the cream of the crop who could actually amount to something, while teaching only the brainiacs in a mixed classroom is nearly impossible while the future welfare cases are snoring loudly (at best). DeBlasio and his committee see only skin color and suckers for the “they’ve got more than you” tripe."

Isn't Southwood the school where all the 'omg! athletes" end up at in Wabash county?

https://reason.com/2019/08/27/the-meth-was-actually-honey/ Yep, the failed War on People.... err Drugs continues.......... And do we think the state will compensate Mr. Haugton for lost wages during his mistaken incarceration?

I believe the Kokomo swim teams use the moniker "Katfish" (still can't spell).

That wasn't an upset. Maconaquah was, is, and ever will be a basketball-first school. Sorry DT, no way is Frankfort, or Clinton county for that matter, to considered to be in the southern Indiana.

Depends on one's perspective. 96-0. Never forget.
