A couple of reasons Beechwood is having school. Kentucky Association of Superintendents warned Thursday that it would not be advisable to use the pretext of taking another "SICK" day, only personal days should be used. Teachers may not have that many left. Beechwood is an excellent school, awards annually verify that, and parents want those teachers in their classrooms, NOT in Frankfort. No teacher wants it to look like an unlawful STRIKE,...

Thank you.

Very educational because I did not realize how much or LITTLE was required to be a sub. How can someone, not educated for the teaching profession, be a sub if they have none of the required elements like psychology to deal with students? How much are subs paid per day, nothing firm, just a guess? And yes, my math skills are good enough to figure cubic inches in an engine for Papaw. How many college hours are required to sub? Just wondering since...

While watching coverage of teacher's protest on Channel 27 Lexington, there were a number of school buses parked in the Capitol lot. Were they carrying students to also protest, since they were already out of school?

True, substitute teachers are coming in cold, but aren't lesson plans for a number of classes posted ahead of time on the teacher's computer? Not the same site used by students for homework assignments.

Your last paragraph is slightly alarming. Are substitute teachers THAT bad, to create so much catch up work for you when you return?

The one with MY name on the door.

Happy Birthday Getslow. Hope you've had a good one. :dancingpa

I don't want anyone tarnished with a broad brush. Maybe your " Major Coaches" should be more vigilant of their players. Don't Coaches and Recruiters tell parents, when they offer scholarships, they will take care of their child (young adult)?

"LEGACIES are being damaged"? IF this proves to be true, the LAST thing I worry about is Michigan State's legacy! :irked:

Hacksaw Ridge- This was an excellent movie, it could never be my favorite movie but it was a movie that affected me greatly. I'm not a war movie kind of person and only watched it after Papaw previewed it.

Your weather forecasts are the ones I trust and depend on for traveling. Your accuracy is uncanny and reminds me of my Dad when he would watch the animals and sky before working on our farms. I'll be happy to "Grandfather you in" as my meteorologist.

Anyone besides Duke. Did you catch the Tripper's post Syracuse game interview? So humble. Guess he's trying to resurrect his reputation.

It was JUST a question. Why the hostile answer? Why not a real reason? Better academics for what career the young person is interested in? Better chance for a D1 scholarship to an elite basketball school with excellent graduation percentage? Excellent post graduate programs?
