I had a parent describe my English class as ludicrous and insist that I am some type of educational degenerate because I am teaching English and do not have the attention span to read a Stephen King novel myself. I am also making the class up as I go and her child can already do the work we are doing. I mean, he only has a 70% in the class and has failed his last 3 quizzes.


My fault for being honest with parents and explaining that I am a math teacher and am teaching English to help the school...

sounds like the typical stuck-up Hyde Park house wife

[Adam Sayer]

It's better than that. She's from Kentucky and was a former HS English teacher herself. I had to look up 4 words from her email because I didn't know what they meant 

She apparently doesn't like humor. The history teacher gave them a funny quote during "Meet the Teacher Night" and she was appalled that he was being funny instead of sharing his educational pedagogy with the parents. This lady is wound tighter than a smurf's a$$.

Arent O lineman supposed to the smartest guys on the team? Haha

[Adam Sayer]

Yeah, but our O-line language consisted of terms such as Bud/Budlight, Cock/D!ck, Mooseknuckle, Snakebite, etc.

I'm a math guru, but I hate english. I hated taking it in HS and I dislike teaching it in HS. I am doing it to help the school.


Reading high school here in Cincinnati has a 6'4" WR. He's not the most athletic kid in the world, but he does catch the ball.

Waynesburg 9
Thomas More 37. 2nd Qiarter

[SaintsFAN]

47-9.. Start of 4th.  Great game for Thomas More

[SaintsFAN]

Waynesburg finally moving the ball on Thomas Mores #2s.. And #6 did a nice flip into end zone.   Yet another undisciplined Shepas team.  47-17

Trine 40 DC 9

got no details outside of the spanking in the score

[SaintsFAN]

2TD on TMC 2nd team.. 47-24 Dawson looked god awful until TMC put in the reserves.  Oh well, Saints are healthy and look out.

Trine 40 DC 9 got no details outside of the spanking in the score

No offense for DC and Trine did pretty much whatever it felt like on offense with almost 500 yards. DC's only touchdown came in garbage time for the second straight week. The Jackets haven't scored a meaningful touchdown since week one against Muskingum.

DC defense couldn't get off the field on third down. It's going to be a long year for the Jackets unless a miracle happens and the offense finds a way to move the ball.

[Adam Sayer]

I know how you feel up at Defiance. Our WR can't block and if things were up to me, I'd run our offense until someome quit the team. It has gotten that bad for me. I think our kids really dont care if they win. They just want to say they came close. It's making me f*ckin sick. We ran the ball for 150 today and still got our assess kicked. The only bonus is we figured out or sophomore TB is the real deal. I f*ckin hate losing. I'd cut my pinky off if it meant going 10-0.

[JacketsFan]

Another dismal performance by DC. I take back every complimentary thing I said in Week One because it was obviously a fluke performance. If you get 40 put on you, you obviously don't have a D that's much better than your O. Good grief! I'm glad I had to miss watching the game. I would've ended up smashing my computer. I think it's time for a blood transfusion at DC. There ain't much life left in what's there. You sure can tell all of P's guys are gone. Like my old buddy Bob says, DC needs to get off its wallet and its duff and start looking outside the neighborhood if they want to stay competitive. Not a single guy from Florida on the roster. One (Quarterback???) from Georgia and everyone else from the same general vicinity as DC. Can you say lazy recruiting or what? I mean, why don't we just announce that we're aiming for mediocrity and be done with it?

My candor (reg. DC) has irked a couple of admin types/trustees during the last couple of months, Joe, so please allow a slight re-wording of your well-conceived rant as applicable to the whole of "North Clinton Street High School..."  As stated to the aforementioned parties in a slightly more eloquent structure than expressed below:

DC needs to get off of her collective, flatulent duff and regain competitiveness across the board to fill her "empty" wallet.  McMaster monies and subjective interpretation of presumed kudos (ie "spin") won't retain viability forever...

[Jackets Backer]

No doubt about it, the Jackets aren't very competitive and have been taking behind the woodshed each of the last two weeks for a spanking. They haven't beat a team that ended the season with a winning record since October of 2007 (Rose and Andy).
