I decided to look into basic data and compared Per Pupil Spending (source: US Census Data), Median Income (source: US Census Data), and Standardized Testing Results (source: Nations Report Card). I just wanted to know more on how Indiana compares since this article used nationwide data. Indiana Rankings PPS: 41st @ $13,622 per pupil (including D.C.) Median Income: 42nd @ $71,959 median family income (including D.C.) 4th Grade Math 2024: 10th (including DoDEA*) 4th Grade Reading 2024: 7th (including DoDEA*) 8th Grade Math 2024: 14th (including DoDEA*) 8th Grade reading 2024: 7th (including DoDEA*) While I would like Indiana to lead in all aspects as it relates to education, I would say that in comparing spending to performance, we're not doing bad. Some other information from the top and bottom of the list included below. New York - highest PPS, ranked 16th in median income 4th Grade Math 2024: 29th (including DoDEA*) 4th Grade Reading 2024: 26th (including DoDEA*) 8th Grade Math 2024: 28th (including DoDEA*) 8th Grade reading 2024: 28th (including DoDEA*) Utah - lowest PPS, ranked 10th in median income 4th Grade Math 2024: 6th (including DoDEA*) 4th Grade Reading 2024: 8th (including DoDEA*) 8th Grade Math 2024: 5th (including DoDEA*) 8th Grade reading 2024: 9th (including DoDEA*) *Department of Defense Education Activity I know there are more factors that contribute to education, student performance, etc...these are very basic comparisons.

I agree - you don't literally have to be in education, but you need to have the mindset to grow kids beyond sports - teamwork, dedication, hard work, fun. We've been trending toward "me me me" mindsets in athletics and in my opinion - it is dangerous. The "educator mindset" as a coach is a desirable trait.

Was thinking the same thing!

Lions, tigers or bears, oh my!

So about Flag Football......

Cool Pool!

When is the last time/has there ever been an OL selected for Mr. Football?

to respond to your second observation, I love traditional colors, but given their freedom of choice, I see no problem with black and/or gray. Its not about looking "tougher" its about choice of uniforms. When I played in college we had multiple color variations and its just a fun way to mix it up before games. to each their own. ***insert Muda69 comment about tax dollars here*** 😁
