RETIREDFAN1

Was told by coaching staff that if the parents would stay out of the way, Silsbee could win state.

Wouldn't matter if it was Bill Belichick

Not in favor of merit pay of any form for teachers or for coaches.  Am in favor of raising their salaries instead so it counts toward their retirement.  If a coach is doing a good job, give him a raise.  It is that simple.  Same thing is true of a teacher.   

When all football players are required to make the playoffs in order to graduate, then you can award Merit Pay for the playoffs. 
Don't forget Title IX. You will need to pay ALL coaches and all will be required to make the playoffs to earn that extra pay.

Wow, if we (Newton) had money no telling how good we would be. We are one of the poorest counties(school districts) in Texas. We are trying to upgrade to flush toilet restrooms. Our old blocking dummies are rusting out, need some new 55 gal. drums. With the unemployment rate extremely high in our county, there is little chance of passing a bond. Maybe some rich person will come alone and donate about a million for new turf. Then maybe we can make it back to state again.

Should the english teacher get a bonus for all their kids passing the staar test. No its expected of them. Shouldn't we expect the coach to get his kids to the playoffs, that's what he's paid for in the first place.

Yes. I believe those kids and coaches would win no matter what they practiced on or in.
 

We should have a SETXSPORTS Hall of fame and make liltex the first inductee. He has my vote and I'm sure the vote of everyone on this board

Wasn't aware of his stance on abortion. Makes a huge difference in how I feel. May even need to retract my "good guy" statement.

I have two boys under 2 years old. We struggle every month, living pay check to pay check. We have to monitor our bank account religiously, and sometimes have to go a week without spending hardly anything. Moral of the story, we work very hard to make sure our boys have what they need. We worry about everything else second. I am proud to be poor, because I work my arse off to be poor. And we do not rely on anybody else to maintain our humble living. 
Sad thing is, many others don't have to work hard, they don't have to work at all. Yet, they still have the nerve to complain and criticize the people that pay their way.

What kills me the most about Big Girl's post is that she wants us to feel badly for someone who can't financially raise a child and worries that the child will starve to death, but doesn't give a second thought to its life being snuffed out by a scalpel. Hypocrite seems to be too nice of a word.
When my wife and I were younger, we lived paycheck to paycheck and worried about some bills getting paid. We raised two sons without  them starving for one second. I look back and wonder how we did it, but IT CAN BE DONE!

Ever heard of breast feeding? Women will now be required to take responsibility for  their own actions.  It's called being an adult.

If your only option is to murder it, then maybe you should stop having unprotected sex.

You're right. The country that Obama built won't survive. Your hate-filled party will be regulated to minority status until y'all learn the hate-card isn't working. Life is good when you see hate-filled Liberals whining, crying, throwing hissy fits and screaming racism. Lets me know that the adults are back in charge.
