It's a Start

Kudos to the organizers who made an attempt to civilize our town with the rally for the district and Mr. Price. It is a good start. Mr. Price is a good man. Do Eye agree with his management style and some of the programs he put in place? Maybe not, but something had to be done. Price was not the reason the district's rating were as they were. That ball was rolling down hill long before he got here. As Eye have stated in previous posts, some people do not take to change very well. Eye had no idea that they would stoop to the level that has been reported to keep it from happening. People question the anonymity of this blog. Price is a perfect example of why it must be maintained. Eye wish the school board good luck as they go through this process again. The good news that is coming out of a bad situation is that the community does seem to be waking up and getting involved in the district. Have Eye helped or hurt the process...Eye really don't care. We just need to educate our youth, ethically, morally and spiritually.

BOMBSHELL DROPPED!

BAM!
In a scene that will unfold like a chapter of "Friday Night Lights" Price quits citing harassment. Harassment? In Sealy? Really? Not in our town.....can't happen. We are so nice, and welcoming and forgiving....now put the "for sale" signs back into the pickup.... Just leave the one he'll now need instead of the fifty you have been sticking in his yard on a nightly basis since he got here.
He lasted just over a year. The shratnel is still flying. let's see who it hits. Could it be the schoolboard? They are already catching flak for letting the district get in such disarray and just sitting on their hands. Could it be cronies of regimes past? The police will have to figure that out. Needless to say, there were champagne bottles being opened last night. They just don't get it. You think the spotlight will go out now that he's gone? Think again. They will be bringing 3 or 4 more to light up the whole city, not just the district buildings. It now becomes a criminal investigation with the TEA in the lead. Wait till it hits the papers and the TV news. This is the type of story that they crave. If it doesn't, we will be lucky. Just remember though, if a person who wants to advance their career gets wind of this and wants to make a name for her or himself, there will be plenty there to expose.

Just so we are clear, "Friday Night Lights" was a book before it was a movie and before it was a TV show.

New AD

Welcome Jimmie Mitchell and good luck. If you can wade thru the parent politicos, you might have a prayer of succeeding. If eye were you, eye would ban all parents from attending practices and refuse all meetings pertaining to who should be playing where and who should be on varsity. But of course, Eye'm sure, promises and backdoor deals were made before you were ever offered the position. As Eye said earlier, good luck. The player parents in this area all seem to think that their sons are the next Eric Dickerson. It will be fun to watch.

TAKS time, the state will be watching very closely today as a portion of the TAKS is taken. Except for Herrington, no significant heads have rolled. She wasn't local anyway so no one really cares. The true results will come when contracts have to be offered for next year to the teachers. The administration is in major damage control mode to protect and insulate themselves from the TAKS results. The bomb will fall at the feet of the teachers and blow them up. Just as in war, the foot soldiers always bear the brunt of the casualties. Is it right? It might be in this case, especially, at the high school level.
