You would be correct. His mom is a teacher. (Lead Special Ed)

 

Moved to El Paso before HS, attended school in Odessa before then. 

Can’t blame her for doing what’s best for him, although I’m quite sure a job magically opened up for her with a nice pay raise to get him over there

Win state at Chapin next season or win state and a possible HS basketball Natty at Duncanville next season? I know which one im choosing if there's a choice. 😁

Do you have any idea how many schools need teachers right now? She and any other teacher could probably go wherever they want.

Yup. There's several ISDs from this state that have billboards up on highways in other states advertising for teachers right now. Had a person PM me on Facebook about our ISD just a few days ago.

Wow!  Seems like half of the staff?

Damn near. They found out we live near by now and have been begging my wife to come out of retirement and take one of the positions. I told her to only accept if the money and the position makes it worth it. She is considering doing it.

That would be ideal for both if they make it worth her while. Sounds like they badly need to.  Not the easiest place to get people to relocate to.

You know there is a teacher shortage when a school district as small as High Island has over a dozen job openings.

The state is in a serious bind.  I’m not sure how many of the schools will function.. much less function efficiently.

    • That should tell everyone something pretty clearly. Does anyone really think BH is recruiting elementary kids, to get them to transfer in Jr. high? Seriously? Here is the "dirty little secret" about BH: Most people move to the district for a quality living environment to raise their young family, and benefit from the outstanding acedemics at BH. Even If all athlectics suddenly disappeared from BH, people would still want their kids in the district. If thats not enough to convince anyone, and BH really was determined to recruit, first step would be to have open enrollemnt. It is closed.        Yes, I get it, no one ever wants to give BH the benefit of the doubt on anything. Some of the accusations are beyond ridiculous though. This paranoia the BH critics are afflicted with is not just sad, its flat out laughable.     
    • Opting is always an option. Are they considering any BC assistants? Highly qualified after that season they put up. 
    • Be that as it may, only time will tell. Hide and watch. Don’t be surprised if the next HC hire uses his own recipe. That happens more than not historically. I am not arguing the point that Hooks & CT had a winning combination that could’ve been carried over. I’m saying that finding someone to do that is not going to be as easy as one might think. Tell me again why Saban’s replacement, who even has Saban’s assistance if he wants it, just lost another game to an unranked team and has taken the Tide out of playoff contention? Why wouldn’t he just follow the success of possibly the greatest college football coach ever lived? 
    • We've acknowledged having 2 HOF coaches hasn't been like most other schools. So why everyone jumps to the conclusion it wouldn't work here is beyond my comprehension. I see it carry over with these other hires. Gilmer, Aledo, North Shore, Austin Westlake. Next man up that continues the system in place has instant success. Matter fact there was 2 rookie HC that won the state championship the same year we handed over the keys. Same book. Same recipe. Better ingredients.
