I agree no one deserves a position, they earn that position with hard work and hustle. HSBballfan24 said the young men were committed to the school and working hard TOGETHER to create team chemistry. He did not describe their dedicated participation as "just showing up". I think he meant, how does the rest of the team feel about playing with a teammate who has not exhibited a desire to want to be their teammate? Until he was forced to do so. Good luck to them all for a successful season.

Congratulations Brevin.

Hence, my confusion as to his age and class. I watched him play for your Purples via Internet coverage in the Sweet Sixteen. Has he played any amateur foreign league ball? If there is such a league? What city is Harmon's Kentucky hometown?

What does it mean when a young man intends to reclassify for recruitment purposes? I've never read that. How does it work? Does the student skip a class? What would be the reason for choosing to do this?

How old is this young man? Where does he play high school ball?

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, therefore the request that personal days be taken. Does anyone know the numbers for teachers employed vs administrative plus non teacher support staff jobs by county or the state of Kentucky? What do teachers want an increase in school spending to pay for in this budget? Books, buses, after school and weekend meals for children, more security? Is there something specific?

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 I know Kentucky requires a Master's Degree to remain in teaching. Definitely not asking for myself. I would not have the patience to deal with today's students. With the technology of today, I thought lesson plans or a syllabus were prepared ahead and available on the school computer site for teachers. Especially for AP classes. Like I said this thread has been very educational as to how schools are operating.

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?

Why CCH and not an Ohio Catholic School? Because Kentucky basketball doesn't have classes or another reason?

Speaking of no one complaining about Christmas Break tournaments becoming too expensive. Coach Hinson was interviewed between games of the Sweet Sixteen Friday night, I think. He stated that BCHS would NOT be having their Holiday Tournament next season because teams and their followers not participating enough to cover the expenses. There are only so many basketball dollars to go around in parent's budgets. So I think your point, that the A and AA are no more expensive than season games, is not correct. You are correct, no one is forcing anyone to attend or purchase anything.

But attending those games is more expensive than regular season games. Food, tshirts or souvenirs, tickets, overnight stays if it's a distance and possibly farther travel if not staying at tournament site. The last two could be a lot more expense, especially if a western Kentucky site is chosen.

And in 2019 you have the addition of the AA Tournament, more scheduling conflicts and more expenses for fans and their parents.

Everything in your post is the truth and I've known the young man forever. He is a wonderful hard working sincere young man. He leaves it all on the floor. Wish him the best of everything as he moves on to the next level.

Well, Science Friction, Corbin gave it all they could. Congratulations Corbin and thank you for giving your fans an exciting season.
