Ahhh, I see your point.

22.01(a)(3)?

Would depend on the circumstances. If my kid had acted up deserving some form of punishment...in any event, I wouldn't want the lady in jail. I am not in favor of kids being "abused" but if you ask me, we have gone overboard in "empowering" kids. Case in point, I know of more than one case where father's in this area were convicted of a felony on a "bad spanking." Saw the pictures in a couple of instances and the kid's behind was definitely bruised. Again, since that's the standard, I would have had more than one coach who would have had a rap sheet several pages long. Are we better off by doing a "better job" of "protecting our children"? I would argue that's one of the biggest problems with our society today. But again, that's the law and we have a duty to abide by it.

I'm sure he will have plenty of people who want him to. To me, it's arguably a class c misdemeanor. In any case, I doubt very seriously there was any form of bodily injury.

Sounds like she was well liked, especially by her former students. Sad way to end a career devoted to kids. Hopefully she will get some kind of probation and will enjoy retirement. The kid never should have been hit but come on. Unlike what some of those comments suggest, we have better uses for our jail cells than some 63 year old lady who popped a student on the back of the head. Some of those folks should have had a couple of my coaches. And I don't hold any ill will toward them either.

She will still get her retirement if vested and sounds like she was. Probably better as her patience seems to be worn. I can empathize. Easy to want to smack a kid in the back of the head. Just can't do it.

Apparently, in the comics, Glenn dies in the shootout at the railroad tracks instead of the nurse. My wife has figured out who it was, at least I think. Her argument was too strong for me to argue with. But I hope she's wrong.

Prayers for her family. Can't even begin to imagine what they are going through.

They say there's one in every crowd. Only on this site, there's usually more than one. Anyway, back to the intent of the thread...congrats to Jase! This is a rare accomplishment that's well deserved by a great kid who has worked very hard. Awesome you get to continue your basketball journey AND get an education out of it.

Not to mention the kid himself has been posting his transfer all over social media.

I like to finish strong.

No, apparently Dekaney was the early rumor. HJ is the current rumor.

I heard Dekaney

Ozen losing a player too apparently

Oldschool -tell Celina we said hi...

I'm afraid that is sad but true, my friend. You know, Politicians love to claim their election is a "mandate" from the people. Trump, if elected, would be actually be a mandate. And perhaps the only true one of my lifetime.

Couldn't agree more. The best way I can say it is although I'm not a Trump supporter, I can completely understand why others are. My hope is not only what you state about the working class, but that if nothing else, Trump's ascension is a wake up call for those in Washington.

Preach!

No doubt.

I am becoming more and more convinced that this issue might decide the general election. I saw a poll the other day where even those who consider themselves on the left are almost evenly divided on the refugee situation. You can fill in the blanks on the rest of the voters.

Hard to say. My guess is fear of Trump or support of Trump. Hoping it's the former but my hunch is the latter.

Dilbert was genius. Interesting read. Thanks for sharing.

You think OF can grasp math??

Keep trying Special J. You might convince one person other than your delusional self. Nahhhh...
