Shoutout to the HS baseball guys who shut it down for the next several months to strap on the football gear and get after it. You only get a few years to do it.
HS football builds character, grit, resilience, discipline, toughness and team first.
Scouts love these guys.
It pains me knowing it’s summer and teachers are spending time begging strangers to give them classroom materials. This needs to stop. It’s not good for anyone.
There is a two tier system of public education in American schools. One tier is the overwhelmingly majority of students who go to school day in and day and get zero rights to an organized, non-disruptive education. The other tier is the students with labels who have so many federal guarantees that they are allowed to hijack the education of anyone in their way without any recourse whatsoever.
Schools spend hours trying to “reach” the kid who openly doesn’t care, while the kid who tries every day quietly gets ignored. We’re exhausting ourselves chasing resistance instead of investing in effort.
If every American 18 year old had to leave the country for two years, they would kiss the ground here when they came back. Most of the morons “embarrassed” to be Americans have no idea how spoiled they really are and how lucky they are to live here:
This dog's name was Gunner. My uncle brought him back from WW2. He was raised and slept under my uncle's anti- aircraft gun. The gun crew shared their
rations to feed him. By the time he was 18 months old, my uncle said he would stand up and look at the sky. If he laid back down they knew all was ok. If he growled
and put his hackles up they got at the ready. He knew the sound of the German aircraft and my uncle said he
never got it wrong. He said Gunner was better than any early warning system. I'm probably the only one left in the family that knows that story now, so I thought I'd tell it before it's lost forever, like many stories must be from that time. Thanks for reading it.
