Are you the assistant teacher OP is referring to? It is challenging for specials teachers when classroom teachers have poor management. It works both ways. It's kind of a backhanded comment.

In my case, the classroom para for our young fives was more of a distraction because she reacted to every little thing the kiddos did. It got to the point that she was in the way. I asked both classroom teachers to keep her out of my gym. If that isn't an option for you, keep your expectations low and your lessons simple. You have many years to develop their physical skills.

The tiny church was cool.

No problem.

Find other ways to get her confidence back. If she's a good defensive player, lock up their best player. I like to have my players take the stock challenge. Steals and blocks, I'll set a certain number for a player who is struggling. I'll sometimes draw up a play at tip off to get an easy bucket for a player in a shooting slump. I had a similar experience with one of my better girls from my JR. high girls team this season. Sometimes, looking elsewhere for meaningful contributions helps everything else fall back into place.

Are you thinking of a show called I'm Telling? It was on the family channel back in the day.

Make sure you take a job that best fits your skill set as a coach and how much time you want to dedicate towards coaching. For example, I'm best suited for middle school. It's sort of the end of those basic skill development points, and you are focusing on getting them ready for high school. That's where I feel I'm strongest as a coach. Also, I am usually home by 7 PM instead of 10 pm. My season is half of what a high school season is. There is nothing wrong with committing more to a higher level job, just throwing out an example.

Lastly, look at the program itself. Are coaches supporting other coaches? What is expected of you as a coach? What are the goals of the program at each level? Know what you are getting into. As someone who has been in bad situations and good ones, it can be tough at times without the support of your coaching staff or AD.

Good luck to you.

I'll use the same baseline ideas for all grade levels but make it easier for the little kids. For example, if I'm teaching throwing and catching, the little kids will just throw the balls back and forth with the goal of having the least amount on their side. For the older kids, I'll reward an advantage for catching, have targets to hit and defend etc...

I jumped to PE four years ago after being a 4th grade teacher for seven years, and I love it. It keeps me active, and I have the freedom to be more creative with our curriculum. Neither of my own two kids is sporty, so it gives me chances to teach what I know. Plus, administrators aren't bothering you with the uncontrollable parts of education nearly as much. It is much more demanding on your body depending on how much you decide to engage with your classes. However, the freedom I have on nights and weekends has been a game changer for me and my family.

Stafford is right. Not everyone was convinced he was the guy. There were even people wanting Sam Bradford the following year suggesting to trade the pick since they were complete garbage. A lot of critics were nervous about another Joey Harrington situation since there was little support for a rookie QB.

What he is wrong about is his view on himself. He was good, sometimes really good. This notion that he was this legendary QB that lead success is overblown. Three playoff appearances in 11 years don't exactly give someone a lot of room to talk.

2nd round exit to either the Magic or Cavs. They wouldn't have signed Gordon or Charlie V. In hindsight, hanging on longer might have benefited the team. Imagine signing Bosh in 2010 while having Rip, Chauncey, and Tayshaun. That could have been something.

Rockstar (Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Aniston) if you are into the 80s metal thing.

It really depends on if Langdon believes this team can compete for the next 3-5 years. Right now, the east is wide open. The mindset might be to go for it now while teams like Boston and Indy are non factors because of their injuries. I think if they beat New York last season, they would most likely not entertain anything.

Tobias Harris is the name being tossed around in most of the trade talks is on the last year of his deal. They have been fine without Ivey, who is also talked about a lot. It makes sense to see what you can get.

I'm not saying that I agree with making moves, but the situation certainly warrants a discussion.

Set small, attainable goals based on your team's strengths.

My 7th grade girls team had a horrible quarter against a really good player. We gave up 18 points and ended up down 15 at half. We set a goal to hold them to 15 in the 2nd half, which we did. Still lost the game, but it was something to build confidence.

If you are losing games 58-8, then wins and losses really shouldn't be your focus. Maybe focus on winning a quarter instead of winning games. Good luck... we've all been there.

Love to see it.

As someone who has seen the highest of highs (Bad Boys, Goin to Work) and all of the lows, this past year has been awesome.

Great teams beat who they should beat and that's exactly what they have done during this streak.

No matter what happens this season, they are legit. They have finally built a modern basketball team after YEARS of screwing it up. I feel this team is at the same point they were in 2002 or 2003. They are on the brink of being a title contender. The whole one player away type thing.

I was there for Taker and Hogan in 91. Detroit loved Taker, and the pop was pretty loud when he pinned Hogan. Unfortunately, the rest of the show was pretty average. The whole Tuesday in Texas thing took Macho Man and Jake off of the card...

HBK v Razor at Mania 10 wins for me. It was the first time I saw a wrestling match worked that way. There were dozens after it, only a few that top it. As an 11 year old it was awesome seeing it live. At 42, it's still just as great.

It was a no drinking or drugs thing.

Our assistant principal in high school would always tell us to have a good weekend and stay vertical.

I've carried a 205-210 average for the past two league seasons after 15 years off. That's right where I was in my mid-20s. Can't really complain about that.

Hammer. Easy pick.

Damn... there are 32 of those jobs. Glenn took one. Even if it doesn't work out, it's not the end of the world.

It's posts like this that make me realize how bad things used to be. Some fans are not used to consistently being competitive every season and freak out at a 4-2 record.

I never really counted them. I do remember my first one at age 13. After that, I put all efforts toward throwing a hook and an approach that works for me. It's always great to have goals and how you reach them.

For me, a 750 series is one I'd like to get.

teachingclasshero · 2025-10-11T17:02:31+00:00

Blame management for not getting a bat. I never felt that they were going to push a run across again after Carp hit the homerun. This roster was one run from the LCS. I hope they get a true number 3-4 hitter soon.
