Wise observation from the late Gordon S. Wood.
“I don’t think history teaches a lot of little lessons, frankly,” he told C-SPAN. “I think it teaches one big lesson, which is that nothing really ever works out the way the perpetrators intend. I can’t think of any major event in the history of the world that ever turned out the way the participants who launched it expected.”

My question is for HS administrators, why do you not want teachers to lecture and students to take notes?

When they go to into college/career/military, they will have to sit in meetings/lectures at can last multiple hours, and take notes. I not start preparing them in HS?

@kylamb8 @CarterElliottIV The irony of someone who works for Ron Desantis lecturing anyone on "fairness" as it pertains to gerrymandering is laughable. And to be clear, I was a no vote because Democrats will gain a minimum of 25 seats in the House and have a fighting chance to take back the Senate

@kylamb8 @CarterElliottIV So I guess voters are just dumb? I definitely know what political camp you're in 😂

Every training camp I had at Washington State University, Coach Leach would share the same story.
The story of two kids. The rich kid and the poor kid.

The rich kid has two choices. He can become spoiled, entitled, lazy, and expect everything to be handed to him because he has been given more. Or he can take every advantage of what he has been given—resources, coaching, opportunities—and use it to become even better.

The poor kid has two choices too. He can say, “I never had a chance. Nobody gave me anything. The world is against me.” He can feel sorry for himself and use it as an excuse. Or he can say, “I may not have what they have, but I am going to outwork everybody.” He can become tougher, more driven, and more relentless than everybody else.

It was a powerful message in a locker room full of people from different backgrounds, different families, and different life experiences. Some guys came from wealth. Some came from almost nothing. Some had every opportunity. Others had to fight for every inch.

But despite all of those differences, everybody still had the same choice.

You can take ownership and use what you have as fuel.

Or you can become victim-minded. You can look for excuses, blame your circumstances, become entitled, and convince yourself that because of what you have—or because of what you do not have—you cannot become what you want to be.

It is not about how you start. It is about what you choose to do with how you start.

The rich kid can waste what he has been given or use it to build something greater. The poor kid can use his circumstances as an excuse or as fuel.

In the end, greatness does not come from starting with more or less. It comes from which person inside of you that you choose to feed.

De todas las fotos que se le han tomado a Trump, ​esta lo “retrata” espiritualmente. Su falta de empatía, cero interés en el problema de otro, ausencia de solidaridad, falta de cooperación para ayudar a terceros, cero preocupación por el estado del otro. Completamente ausente, emocional y humanamente, completamente incapaz de sentir lo que normalmente una persona, y más en su posición, sentiría.
Pobre de la gente que piensa que a Trump le interesa asistirlos. Esta foto lo dice claramente.
Tu problema no es su problema. A él le interesa él y nadie más.

The “more with less” mindset at Mason needs to turn into a “more with more” mindset as long as Tony is here. Administration needs to go all in on both basketball programs and make sure they are well funded.
