He told her not to go to work this morning...lol

Definitely Eastnound right now...sitting in it...about a half mile before 1st exit.

Not sure if serious...You do realize that homework mainly exists for 2 reasons. One, to repeat and exercise the brain to gain further understanding of the subject, and most likely, two, to cover things the student did not get a chance to cover during class.

In the real world there are deadlines. Guess what in the world of education, there are deadlines as well. We lost 2 weeks because of the flood. By mid-term, we have to be caught up on all curriculum (which was already jam packed into the allotted time per class) Teachers are now having to fit a 90 days of classes into 75 days. So, some of the work will be added to the home environment. It's okay though, the student should be better for it though.

In Ascension, It depends on the High school the team feeds to. DTHS is more of a run style offense so that kind of determines the style of play. Maybe your school hasn't put pass plays in yet. I was at the other DTHS feeder. THere were about 6-8 pass plays for one team and the other was 50-50 pass-run.

I'm not a coach, just my observations.

Irish, you sound like a very disgruntled Roy fan. No matter who is the tiger band director, it would be poor leadership in your eyes (unless it was Linda)

Here is my take. LSU needed new leadership in tiger band for the same reason it needs a new coach. People (fans) are getting tired of the same old stuff. If you dont see LSU was in a rut with show variety then you were a "sunshine pumper" Face it your boy is gone.

Now for numbers. Yes, I agree that the numbers are down. That is always the case when you replace a person who has been there for quite a few years. A lot of kids chose not to come back because of Roy. That was going to happen. However, I have several former students who are marching this year, and they seem to enjoy being there. Even the ones who were in band with Roy. I honestly think the band is headed in the right direction. Give it some time and the numbers will get back to where they need to be.

Seriously, Irish, You really need to find something to get happy about. You sound miserable. (and whiny)

Somebody emailed this to me.

Here is a website of aerial photos that were taken yesterday. I thought it might help someone who had to leave their house.

Gotta go to Lafayette for business. What would be my best route..The Waze app says I-10 east is closed.

I like the idea of TOPS being paid at the end of the semester. If you make the grades and do your job as a student then you get paid. I would like to see the how the numbers would get effected just by getting rid of the kids who fail out.
You wouldn't have to change the standards at all.

This is what at 28 on the ACT gets you as of today. LSU tuition and fees are around $4830. Tops covers 3950. A 28 gets you $750 a semester. You would still owe $130 for Tuition and fees..
What about ULL??? Tuition and Fees are 3500. Tops covers 3100. A28 gets you 1000 a semester. You would be +600 to go towards books and dorm.

My daughter is graduating this year and there are plenty of kids in her honors classes that have a 27 or better on the ACT. In state scholarships don't even look at you until you have a 32 on the ACT.

[u]These are just the facts that I had to edit because I can't read properly[/u]

4 year tuition is about 38-40k…

Hell, I took out student loans, spent 5 years in college without tops. I owed 12k.
Times have changed.
