If kids want to play, they should do it on out of school club teams. Let it be part of county/city parks & rec and not part of the education system.

Good coaches know how to get the most out of their players. That’s why Strickland is a champion and her critics are not. Some of the people sniveling are the same ones who have no problem with handing out participation trophies and having their daughters on middling teams. Strickland plays to win, and good for her.

And I’ve tried to visualize myself in that player’s situation if my coach treated me that way. As an adult today I’d certainly react to it much differently than I would have as a teen. And I’m not sure how I’d have handled that at 16. I’m not sure anyone can that didn’t mourn a parent as a teen.

I’ve still got a problem with “the system”. If Strickland did it once and it was an issue, she should have been warned so that it didn’t happen again. Since the behavior was accepted, it shouldn’t be a firing offense doing it again years later.

No big deal.

A dozen? I know of at least half a dozen. How many stories has he written about the growing illiteracy problem in Leon County schools?

If a student cannot read at their assigned grade level, they are deemed illiterate. Currently 51% of the students in Leon County schools are illiterate. The media is failing us, the government is failing us, and the education system is failing us.

The only thing that seems to be working anymore is the lottery!

I don’t care about volleyball coaches failing their girls, Steve! I care about english and math teachers that are failing the majority of Leon County students.

Instead he’s rewarded with a taxpayer paid all inclusive
vacation to Amelia Island.

Welcome to Tallahassee!
