The football coaching staff is great and are fun to work with. Most of the kids understand what we are trying to do and at least give effort. Our biggest problem is the parents and community. Trying to change the culture at a place that has traditionally been a door mat is much harder than I expected. I expected they would embrace a coaching staff that works to develop talent and hold kids accountable. I was wrong. They don't want to be 1-9 or 2-8, but they get pissed when their kids are held to a higher standard than they've been accustomed to. Coached at a place like this before! And know EXACTLY what you mean! So frustrating!

teaching side is good. they leave me alone and let me do my thing since i'm an elective. pay is decent. really good football facilities. at least on game days anyway. they're going to hire a new supe after this year, and the school board has made it known that athletics better be as important to them as academics. so we'll see.
we're going to get our teeth kicked in for a couple of years(actually on a 7 year streak of having our teeth kicked in, but i'm a optimist). got a group in 7-9 grades right now that could be good if we don't have anymore transfer out.

Our supe is good. School board has an ex-coach on it that tries to micro-manage athletics, so no chain of command and a pretty bad situation there.

It's been hot and cold here. Classroom is ok, I teach 5 different classes which sucks. Love the HC I work for and everybody says I'm the next HS principal so I've just got to stick it out.

So you're telling me I'd still be welcomed from the dark side?

I do like it here. Girls are way more successful and have a better home life than the boys, overall. I like the people I work with for the most part. I don't mind the teaching situation. 4 tested classes and 1 EOC prep course. It would be nice to lose that one. I would like to lose a sport. Doing 4 sports, while fun and keeping active, is a pain and tiresome.

And we're short a coach. vball/bball junior high. Head PL and softball, which are going on at same time. Not too bad with practices, but some meet conflicts.
