My wife is a teacher and I've worked in education for 23 years. I would disagree. Being a classroom teacher with constant student interaction from 8 am to 3:30 pm, plus bus duty days with little to no breaks, M-F, in addition to using your planning period to remediate students and call parents. Then, grading papers and answering student and parent questions throughout the evening. I'm sorry but assistant principals don't even come close to that level of continuous work. You might argue that they deal with parent complaints, but these days, most administrators dodge, deflect and refer parents back to the teacher. If they don't, then the teacher gets yelled at, still not escaping. Remember, everything flows down hill.

Over the years, it seems more coaches are getting into "flexible" positions. Ones that don't really impact students' standardized testing. These positions allow the coaches to take care of their team responsibilities throughout the day without loss of instructional time. I've noticed that Scott Co has several assistant principals that coach. Yet another position that can basically be vacated on any given day to tend to coaching duties.

It's not a requirement, but nearly all coaches are teachers. A good portion of those are PE or SpEd. I would say that few are teaching English, math, history, etc...

I wasn't aware there were sports besides football. Mind blown! 🤯 I will have to look into those! 😁 Thinking about football memories. I don't know if there's a worse one than Union/Appo 2017. That one still hurts. There's too many ecstatic ones to list, but as far as unbelievable goes...2013 Richlands/Union, 2016 Dan River/Union, 1989 "The Catch" Lunenburg/PV. As for weird memories, I'll never forget playing Clintwood my JV year and my pants being black from a nasty, smelly, funky water seeping out of the ground near the endzone. We thought we were playing in someone's cesspool.🤮

He's an absolute stud. I'm guessing he thinks he'll get more attention and/or rings with Princeton?? Huge gap to fill for sure. He was dominant.

I'm not sure if enough retirements, from the School Board Office, have taken place to allow BI to come back to the county, given the real reason behind his resignation.
-
Yes, please!

We have a designated jock strap coach if that tells you anything. He coaches them up so that we get 110% support out of those things. haha Technically, Union has an OC and DC, but I think Turner and the OC work very closely. I guess it's almost like 2 coaches doing the same job.

We make fun of it ourselves, but like the tasks you mentioned, somebody has to do it. There is no shortage of volunteers in Appy/BSG to help out with the football program. THAT is a blessing!
-
So it is going to get exciting?? Haha

Backpacks included! As a bonus, there might even be something in them! AND if you act within the next 30 minutes, we'll even throw in a toot on the train horn!😂

We'll trade 5 assistants to Graham for Jennings. Have to see what Richlands has to offer before I can make a trade with them. Lol
-
That doesn't sound very fun. Haha
