  1. I am not good at determining which CB plays the right style for our defense but if a CB is not the BPA at that point in draft I will be surprised. This appears to be a deep draft for CBs from what I am reading and we could certainly use another one if Wallace leaves.
  2. I would take Tyrod to start in Detroit, Chicago, Steelers, Giants, and Carolina as constituted right now. You pick him to steady the team while trying to find better. Don't forget we were paying him 18 a year a few years ago.
  3. He will not be a first choice but someone who needs a quality backup- like Houston became a year ago
  4. I think your point is correct but we need a cheap backup and I bet Tyrod still gets 8-10 million a year offer
  5. Two points: one it is a letter to the editor, so not an article but also I think it is sarcastic because it says that Goddell should fire himself and appoint a black man also. I wish I was more certain it was sarcasm.
  6. I believe we will do these things which help us greatly: 1) get Beasley to take less money to stay, which I think he does since so many WR are available this year. 2) restructuring Diggs, Dawkins and Williams to free up some cash. 3) spend money for an impact Edge rusher around 10 million a year. 4) drafting the best CB in draft with first pick, since DB draft is deep.
  7. Tibs can't admit Biden was one of the leaders of the Senate to drive us into that war, why do you think anything else you mention matters? I recommend just talking to wall since it will be more logical that Tibs.
  8. The fact that you will believe that a student in NY is safer than a student in Idaho makes you gullible. NYC has over 500 high schools and 20 or less are top notch, about 80 are decent and 400 are complete garbage. I have a school down the street that has international students at it. A few schools does make the whole district work.
  9. I like the fact that you want to discuss states but not local deep blue places, NYC has some of the worst schools in the country but the more conservative areas raise the whole state. Even in GA the lowest scores are in deep blue ATL. My point was clear as is your inability to respond.
  10. I am sorry but this list is complete garbage, in what world is a NY student safer than an Idaho student? Not just a little safer but much safer? (10 vs 50) that being said judging schools on numbers without mainly discussing results is not very valid.
  11. @Tiberius or @Backintheday544 I am truly hoping you can give me some thoughts on how we can fix schools that can be acceptable to your beliefs? As I stated in Orange County right now every failing school is in a blue section of town, how do we fix it?
  12. The amount of people on here who seem to enjoy being made to look stupid by the media is astounding. I doubt anyone one here thinks Trump is a paragon of virtue but all of these threads about him without any actual evidence just innuendo make me think critical thinking is not your something Kemp or Billsy attempt very often.
  13. You might not be aware that all Trudeau won was one district where he got 25k votes. After that it was the parties that voted him as leader.
  14. These are definitely two of the larger reasons, I maintain high standards because it is important to me but the difference in raise between a top 5% teacher in my district and barely top 80% teacher is exactly $0. Thankfully I have been able to ensure my kids have the top tier teachers each year.
  15. I am not simply trying to score political points here but today we received the list of schools in Orange County Florida that can start recruiting teachers in order to help improve their academic standing. These schools that performing poorly are all in the Democrat voting sections of town. Literally not one is is in a red voting part of town and most of them are in the darkest blue on the voting map. This is not along racial lines because many of the well performing schools have a white minority, but there is a definite voting pattern commonality. https://www.orlandosentinel.com/politics/os-ne-2020-10-year-history-20201030-mr2eyronafbd3bmo2s3x43quae-htmlstory.html As for how to fix it? Allow teachers to hold kids to standards, allow schools to throw out kids who are repeat problems, and stop pretending a school should raise a child.
  16. The quality of parenting in this country is splitting into two distinct camps and it feels like it is becoming more 50/50 when I think I was a kid it was 80/20. Some parents legitimately think it is a schools and societies job to raise their children, while I believe that school should educate them in topics I can't and I raise them. The better schools generally have the parents like me, and the lessor schools have the other. But as far as good teachers at bad schools not many exist anymore because they are not allowed to enforce rules, if the principal from "Stand by Me" tried to fix those schools he would be stopped by federal laws. Last point, I had a discussion with a black student who told me that they call the police 7-8 times a year when they have family disagreements, how do I teach life skills to a person who thinks calling the police is acceptable but then bashes police for being racist?
  17. Reading the details of trial reminds of how messed up our trial system can be. Instead of simply laying out facts both sides are trying for a narrative that is 10% fact based and the rest story time. Dude is hopefully found guilty.
  18. This article shows something that I did not quite realize until today. Many people have been living exactly the same lifestyle as my immunocompromised students are living, but blaming the rest of the world for not "protecting" them. If you are a decent human being you do not expect others to protect you when you can do it yourself.
  19. For anyone who is still pushing the mandate I ask a serious question- why is the government not mandating weight loss or more exercise? A fully vaccinated and boosted person who is 100 lbs overweight is more likely to die than an unvaccinated person who is proper weight therefore if our goal is to force health on people what is the reason for stopping?
  20. The A's is simple, many teachers give an A as long as you don't do wrong. Also some students have so many accomodations that as a teacher if you can't prove you followed them all you had better give a good grade or your job is on the line. None of it is acceptable but it is the way things work in too many places because teachers are not allowed to hold kids accountable.
  21. You realize that Durham is showing that Putin was just as honest about the 2016 election than the Dems, right?
  22. I think you might be right, why else would he have approved a oil pipeline that directly benefits him while cancelling our own?
  23. There are two minor defenses for this: one is that the parent is required to do withdrawal paperwork to remove their child from their school, which likely was never done. Second: since child went to a likely a poor performing school she likely had many classes with subs/ non permanent teachers who simply call a name and if a child responds they are marked present. That being said it is pathetic that a child can be missing that much and no one at the school is aware or trying to fix situation.
  24. If Carr signs for 40 then LJ likely gets 45, which destroys Ravens ability to build around him
  25. Your explanation here has nothing to do with tenure, so why did you mention it?
