I love soccer and wrestling, but both are almost as dangerous as football when it comes to injuries, particularly concussions.

TheChoke

They need to implement some way for teams to move down when they are bad yearly.

Or force teams that are consistently good to move up.

TheChoke

Look into how many admin have been added. I'd bet a few dollars that they aren't laying off 14 admin.

TheChoke

Free pre-school at age 3so students start kindergarten with appropriate skills and parents don't feel the childcare squeeze that makes them decide to put their kid in school too young and too underdeveloped.

TheChoke

That's just their country league play, they also have other tournaments they participate in that adds to game count.

TheChoke

Tvs are much cheaper than they used to be.

TheChoke

Yes, but so many people don't read the standards, they just say "common core" for any curriculum they don't understand.

TheChoke

Go to the school board and complain about the curriculum. People are going to say " no child left behind" and "common core" but there is absolutely phonics and math facts curriculum available.

This is what my grandpa looked like about 3 months before he passed.

TheChoke

Sign the signature pages at the beginning because its an attendance page.

TheChoke

Until he fumbles.

Which could mean we are still 100s of years away from a jarvis.

It isnt legal there at all. More like...tolerated with bribes.

The police busted to send the signal that they need their cut.

TheChoke

You can still suspend if its ruled there was a manifestation. It just means that the IEP needs to be amended or followed.

Like, the questions to ask are, " is this the proper setting? Or "is there an accommodation in the IEP that was not being followed?"

Often times there is a staffing issue not addressed or funded because the amount of admin that even know basic special ed law is probably 1 in 10.

TheChoke

Alright, burning cds.

TheChoke

Your school is playing with fire with that definition. A parent could argue it violates least restrictive environment.

But I bet the parents that advocate do not have students in that setting.

TheChoke

You want to cut social entitlement programs but ensure all Americans are sheltered and fed.

What do you think social entitlement programs are trying to achieve?

Rec soccer was completely demolished in my area after a club team came in and made promises to keep soccer accessible. Rec is finally back for kids up to age 12 after about 10 years because the alternative the club came up with was 75 dollars for two days of soccer.

TheChoke

Yeah our lower dividing need to beef up for anything like pro/rel to be viable.

The good news is a run of teams are cropping up all over the place.

TheChoke

Yes, you almost got it, draw the lines now.

They aren't paying for it why? Because there are more professional academies.

Aka no pay to play

TheChoke

OP disproving his point with their older player rejects coming here to play D1.

TheChoke

Are we talking about national team or world class?

There are absolutely players that end up on national teams that aren't in best academies until after 13.

TheChoke

If we just say kids are good at age 13 and leave it at that those kids become complacent with no one to push them.

And we get...exactly where we are now, zero national team depth.

A country of our population should have several replacement players at every position that aren't a huge downgrade.

When dozens, if not hundreds of borderline players give up at 13, we miss out.

TheChoke

Super flawed logic.

"Pay to play isn't a problem because good players don't pay."

Acting like players never develop from the ages of 13-17 IS the problem.

Players that aren't wealthy enough to play will STOP playing at age 13, the age you say your friend didn't need to pay.

That is limiting potential for finding so many players.

TheChoke

I used to hear people that are casual fans taking about MLS games cause they'd catch a game on TV.
