The Learned Helplessness Experiment was a part of most High Schools in the 1980s. It is no longer taught on any scale.

[Gene Trevino @GenoVeno73]

THIS WAS NOT WRITTEN BY ME, but damn, I appreciate it's powerful significance.

When I was a HS sophomore – decades ago! – my World History teacher was Mrs. Holloway, but we all called her Granny Holloway. She was a slight woman, scarcely 5 feet tall, seemingly fragile, but full of vim and vinegar….you know the type. She could speak for hours about the Fall of the Roman Empire, the Inquisition, the Industrial Revolution, and the World Wars. She never sat while she lectured, never stood at a lectern, but moved around the room making eye contact with all of her students. She was demanding too, and I can’t remember how many papers were sent back to me because she would note “you can do better than this, Miss Schaal.”

One day during class, an office aid interrupted her lecture to hand her a note. She read it silently, apologized, and said she needed to leave the room. We knew it had to be important because Granny Holloway stopped lectures for no one.

We sat in the room talking to one another when the door opened, and in walked Mrs. Abels, another teacher in our HS. She explained to us that Granny had been faced with an emergency, a serious one, and it was questionable if she would even be returning to finish out the semester. We were stunned. Would we get a chance to tell her goodbye? Would we get updates, so we would know she was ok? Mrs. Abels assured us that we need not worry, that Granny was safe but needed time away, and that the best thing we could do for her, and the best way we could show our devotion to her, was to be cooperative with her replacement. Mrs. Abels confirmed that she had been asked and had agreed to step in as Granny’s replacement.

Cheer up, she told us, this could be a good thing. Other teachers still believed in endless homework and projects with deadlines and hard work. She would not bring that into our class. She believed in clean slates. If there were grades that we did not like, she could give us a chance to bring them up. She asked us what suggestions we had to make the semester a better learning experience. Someone mentioned that lectures were boring and we wanted more films. Done, she said. Someone else mentioned that a free day now and then would help us if we needed to catch up on work in other classes. She didn’t see a problem with that.

She asked us how we felt about an end-of-semester party. Um, yeah, sounded very good to us. And on and on. Mrs. Abels listened intently and agreed to all of our suggestions, continually emphasizing that her concern was that we have a good learning experience and enjoy the semester. She also reminded us that we were lucky to not be sent out to other classes where we would be working to catch up, and that of course this was all for Granny.

Near the end of the period, shortly before the bell rang, the door opened and Granny sauntered in with her usual Granny Holloway attitude. “How did they do?,” she asked. “Marvelous,” said Mrs. Abels. “They were completely in my hands.”

Granny then faced us and said “And that, my students, is how a dictator takes over a nation. Not with guns or tanks or laws or mandates. They do it using false promises and gifts”

I can’t remember a lesson all through 12 years of public school that made such an impression on me, and has stayed with me.

We are among wolves in sheep clothing, many are being deceived.

Stay awake! And be vigilant.

Derek Jensen's rendition of @johnlegend went viral, but it meant so much more than that to the Wisconsin freshman.

Still grieving the sudden loss of his Dad, Jensen experienced that endearing moment of love, support, and brotherhood that comes with being part of a team ❤️

The temperature is rising.

This year, it's all about pushing higher, aiming further, and rising above.

This is MUST READ. Substitute "hockey" in for "football" and it's the same message.

Don't chase the extra "A" before puberty. Find a coach that will instill a love of the game in your kid.

Huntsville, you deserve this. The SPHL Finals is coming home to the VBC Thursday night!

@jackcollison Absolutely tremendous coach who taught me a lot.
What’s more impressive is the man!

Devastated and heart broken to see this happen to a friend.

That being said, I know this just a bump in the road of an amazing coaching career.

Hockey. And hockey players.

You may not think you have 5 minutes to spend watching a video. But you WON'T regret this beauty from @b0undless. I promise.

Hey thanks, @SportsCenter!

Phil's Michigan earns the #1 spot on the SportsCenter top 10 last night! 🚨

Another year of Huntsville setting the standard.

With tonight's game being sold out, we've broken the @SPHL single-season attendance record (again).

There's no place like Huntsville.

Part two: "There shouldn't be any boundaries or anything from stopping you from playing the game you want to play."

Really appreciate Kyle's vulnerability and for him allowing me to tell his story. @Clarkiee_12 @HuntsvilleHavoc

[Claudia Chakamian @C_Chakamian]

Kyle Clarke grew up loving hockey, even during some difficult moments over the years. Tomorrow at 10, his story of growing up as a biracial player and how he hopes to impact future generations of players just like him. Only on @whnt

Our friends at @fundaciobrafa in Barcelona sent us this incredible, poignant video that has been going viral in Spain. Sport must belong to our kids, and their competitions must be about them, not us adults. If that doesn't work for you, as the kids say, "Don't come."

Why do some "Sports Parents" sit alone?
