High School Football Could Be Much Better

[Cubana]

The public school system is way behind private institutions. This system seems to be a great design. It definitely would help recruiting. We would see more qualified athletes both physically and academically. And just imagine the level of play at the high school level. They could double the game day attendance for sure.

This sucks for the kids that don't have this kind of access. And we are definitely not getting the most out of our tax dollars.

[CanesFiend]

Yeah, public schools could start charging kids $70k a year to pay for it all too...

 

[Paranos]

You do understand that IMG cost $80,000 per year. Were as the public school systems across the country on average spend $10k per student.

You can't really compare the too unless your a place like Texas where the municipalities are willing to spend millions on local teams in certain areas.

In fiscal year 2015, the federal budget was $3.8 trillion. These trillions of dollars make up about 21 percent of the U.S. economy (as measured by Gross Domestic Product, or GDP).

With that said, you can cut a few hundred billion from military (589.5 Billion) spending and apply that to the education budget (70 Billion) which would better educate the students with this system that private institutions have that seems to work. Also, it can be used to increase the salaries of our teachers.

Besides, we are already spending the 70K a year in taxes anyways on stuff that we don't need.

And my point is not to start a political debate but rather how much better high school sports would be from a recruiting perspective.

Yes! We should cut funding from defense and use it to build high school stadiums!

Really dude? Is that all you got from the IMG's advertisement of what they have to offer each student.

The tax payers don't seem to have a problem with the building of this stadium. Their problem is with the Architects that designed it. I agree that much stadium is a bit much but they don't seem to have a problem filling the stands either.

[MENTION=13930]Cubana[/MENTION] we need to increase defense spending not cut it. If you have ever travelled outside of US then you would never say something that idiotic, broken as it maybe our education is allowed to function because our Military keeps this country safe. When your in a foreign in country and know that you can go to US Embassy when shut hits the fan and the Military will eventually come for is innate feeling of security. But unfortunately due to budgets this feeling of security has been eroded over the last decades.

Go Watch the movie 13 hours and then think about cutting defense spending. In the 1990's the US military rescued countless Americans and Allied Citizens trapped in war torn countries. When I visited war torn Haiti as a child in the 2nd grade, I knew if anything happened if I could make it to the US Embassy I would be safe as a US Citizen. Same thing went for Jamaica ( yes Jamaica during the 70's 80's election time was a very dangerous place).

For the record I am Democratic that believes in a strong Military. This countries Education system is an issue that needs to be addressed but funding is not the major issue , more so it is access to quality instruction and family support ( it takes a village to raise a child). My family is full of Veterans, Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers, Architects, Nurses, and business owners because of this country's education system ( private and public). An we are all either 1st or 2nd generation immigrants or US Citizens. Bottom line people in this wonderful country get out what they put in.

Why in the world would I watch the advert before posting a douchey comment about it?

Most private school teachers can't pass the state certification to become a teacher and make less than public school teachers as well. Trust me I went to private school for 4 months and the teachers didn't know how to teach a kid with ADHD( I was a straight A student in honors before I got there ) so my grades dropped until I went back to Sawgrass Springs Middle School where my mom's taught for 20 years

Let's be realistic here. I have a good friend who's an administrator at a local public high school. He was recently tasked with hiring a new head football coach. The stipend for a HEAD COACH in Broward county is $3500 a year. One of the candidates for the job is a coordinator at a local private school. When he informed the private school he had been offered a head coaching position, they immediately gave him a $10,000 bonus on top of his regular salary to keep him on as an assistant. Public schools are behind private schools athletically because the private schools have an almost unlimited budget for athletics. If you're coaching at a public school, it's simply because you enjoy coaching the kids. It's definitely not for the money.

 

[Ibis Wingz]

LOL@"almost unlimited budget for athletics" Private schools might have more money to spend on athletics than public schools, but it is not "almost unlimited." Each private school is constantly in fundraising mode to pay for things. Some schools (e.g. Pine Crest, U School, Heritage, Columbus and STA) have more money than others, but they are not even close to having "almost unlimited budget for athletics."

Did your mom's union compose this for you?

my mom actually hates her Union and has been ****ed that she's 20 years in and hasn't had a pay raise in 7 years even though she's asked to do 5 different jobs in her ESE department because why hire someone if they could give it her because she's endorsed in everything, see not all teachers are liberal.

This is a remarkable post. Very realistic. What school do you work for?

So your experience at one garbage private school is where you're getting your basis for an opinion?

My kids have an 8:1 student to teacher ratio. Have different specialists that come in to help enrich the kids. All the rooms have smart boards...... Most the teachers are state certified (which apparently isn't a big deal) or have a Masters degree. They aren't protected by tenure, so if they aren't doing their job, they get fired!

Public schools don't have the resources to compete with what many private schools have to offer, atleast in Florida!

 

[Chuckles]

I'm not state certified, yet I know the difference between to and too, and also they're and there. I have little doubt I am capable of teaching high school English better than most. Of course the class could start large and end small! ;-)
