When administrators spend time in classrooms, they are reminded how much those teachers have to plan, how much they have to manage, and how unbelievably patient they are. Teachers are the heart and soul of every school.

Schools need to do a better job of recognizing kids that aren’t on the honor roll. There are so many things that matter other than grades.

My yearly request to @taylorswift13 to give a birthday hello to my sweet child who thinks I am amazing for giving birth on Taylor Swift’s birthday 😇. She is 19 today. For this year’s Sydney tree (no Christmas here until 12-14), Taylor’s Version. #HappyBirthdayTaylorSwift

Consider myself a low to moderate Swift fan (daughter=typical crying, stood-in-the-rain-for-four-hours-N3-Nashville fan)…but am I the only person in the world who only hears Bananarama every time they see and hear the words “Cruel Summer” ?? @VivaBananarama

Hell hath no fury like the people of my community realizing yesterday that our local cable company dropped @espn. This week. THIS week. (Pretty sure the title of “our local cable company” is about to change.)

Such an example of making the world a better place by serving others. What an amazing human. Check him out if you aren’t familiar with his program.
Our 50 Yard Challenge starts simply by signing up. Your child starts with a white shirt. They are to mow 50 free lawns for the elderly, disabled, single parents & veterans in their city. We also include Raking Leaves, snow shoveling & picking up trash .
Every 10 lawns they mow, they earn a new shirt. 10 lawns earn a orange shirt, 20 lawns earns a green shirt, 30 lawns earn a blue shirt, 40 lawns earn a red shirt & mowing 50 lawns earns a black shirt. When your child mows 50 I will personally deliver them brand new lawn mower, weed eater & blower . Will your child be next to sign up for the 50 yard challenge ?

Something to remember before the kids get here:
They are not:
SPED kids
EIP kids
RTI kids
504 kids
"Those" kids
Low kids
_____ kids.
Kids are kids.
First, love them
Then learn them.
We don't love labels.
We love learners.
Love, believe & challenge ALL kids.
No excuses.

As we approach the final steps of officially naming our field after Coach Bacon, we would like to extend a special invitation to all of his former players to join in a special pregame ceremony that will take place on the field before the August 25th game vs. Eufaula.

My dream job was to be a SC writer. Loved watching just to catch all the witty allusions. (Nostalgia is real. Thanks for this post.)
Dads and 90s kids, here's a fact:
We had it so good with SportsCenter and we didn't know it.... How could we?
We didn't know what was on the horizon that would try to take it down: first, league passes and TiVo and DirecTV... then the Internet and social media and YouTube...
During that brief, bright spot in sports media in the 1990s, SportsCenter was the only way to get the day's highlights...
We had black and white photos and box scores and features in the newspaper...
We had brilliant writing and reporting and pictures in Sports Illustrated and Sporting News and ESPN: The Magazine...
But for the day's highlights...
To watch Ken Griffey Jr. make a diving catch or Jordan hit a game winner or Barry Sanders twirl through a defensive line...
If you didn't catch it live, the only way to see it was on SportsCenter (maybe your local news sports show - maybe)...
And into this void stepped Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann and Stuart Scott and Rich Eisen and Craig Kilborn and Linda Cohn and Robin Roberts and crew...
And all the catch phrases every kid in high school and college would repeat: "cool as the other side of the pillow"... Jumanji... En Fuego....
We'd watch SportsCenter at night then again in the morning.
It was a monolith. You'd show up at school and you'd have the same frame of reference for the highlights you saw. It was a shared experience.
It was awesome. And even though the show still exists and works, it's not a cultural touchstone anymore... it can't be... not with every highlight available from 1,000 sources across social media instantly...
And there are bright spots to be sure... My man and Top 10 Randy (@RandyScottESPN) is terrific. So are plenty of others.
But classic SC, man. It was a shared experience. By everyone.
These kids don't know... Sitting there, retweeting highlights, sharing reels, scrolling their feeds... Doing the work to find what they like with no commentary or context.
Times change. I get it. And we always glorify what we grew up on. Maybe that's all this is.
Still, I miss Stu Scott. He ruled.
If you agree, share this and follow me @Jon_Finkel.
Boo-Yah!

“Twice this week, I have watched an elderly individual, fade into the busy life in which we all live. One man just needed Panadol for his wife but the shop assistant simply said it’s in aisle ‘6’. But he struggled to navigate the supermarket and as I watched him go in the wrong direction, I left all my groceries and took him where he needed to go.
Today, I watched an elderly man struggle in the heat, who had obviously had a fall with a huge scrape and blood on his leg. He walked past people in the cafe, while he slowly made his way to his car. Not one person stopped. Or looked. Or acknowledged him. I took him to his car and checked he was ok. He told me he had a fall and wasn’t sure how the air con worked in his car so he just didn’t use it. I sat with him, until his air con kicked in and heard him talk about the old frail body that he is in, that fails him now, every single day.
When you see an elderly person walking down the street, searching in the supermarket or struggling to their car, take a minute out of your busy schedule and ask them if they need a hand. Think about your grand parents and your parents and how pissed you would be if someone didn’t stop to help them. But more, think of them as you.
Once upon a time they were you. They were busy, they had work, they had children, they were able.... Today, they are just in an older body that is not going as fast as it used to and this busy life is confusing. They deserve our utmost respect and consideration. One day it will be you, it will be us. I wish more people gave a sh*t about them and acknowledged them for their admirable existence and geez I hope someday, not that far away, someone does it for me.”
