After a month it appears some " right " decisions are starting to be made, though not by the school board. Way too little and too late in my opinion. Terminations should follow and a men's sports sabbatical should be announced now. Transfer athletes can go back to wherever them came from, (  of course those who are taking German should be exempt ). Stench of this mess and the way it was handled continues to grow and it appears the : see no, hear no, speak no  monkeys have been in charge of this asylum for some time.

Do you not think taking away sports from the males in the school would cause further discipline problems?

In todays' schools, if a good kid stops a bully or takes up for another kid being bullied, the punishment from the school is so out of proportion to the action that a good kid will always hesitate to

Chattanooga Patriots are not bad this year, good shooters and a 6'8" post.

Didn't mean they were the Globetrotters, just could fill a spot for any teams needing games.

I don't think all men's sports should be cancelled either. Basketball for sure but I think that would be over kill to include all men's sports. They should at least look at all the sports teams men's and women's to makes sure this is not going on else where at the school.

 

As for the hardship transfers that has been going on for years and years in Hamilton county. It was pretty well known that Jacques Smith was a transfer in from the Brainerd area. Ooltewah, East Ham, Signal and so on (all which are nice schools) all get transfers that play sports and some for academics only.

Just want to clarify if you are blaming the school board for their inaction.  As a former school board member, I just wanted to help the public understand the decisions are made by the administration and up the chain to the Director of Schools.  The board simply goes by the recommendations.  The board's responsibility is to create policy and determine the employment of the Director.  Now if they feel the need to clean house all they can do is terminate the Director.

I can't imagine this being made into a movie. Most sports movies are heartwarming and nothing about this is. But I can see this being on Dateline or 20/20.

If I'm not mistaken I just saw a commercial for a movie very similar to this type incident on reg TV.So it wouldn't surprise me this type thing is fodder for this world we are in now.I'm just glad they are starting to get rid of the so-called coaches who should have been supervising these children.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      By BarneySox2007 · Posted

      I remember very well watching things change in the late 80's and yes it's all schools. Most people that are in charge today have any idea because they were raised and taught under this social experiment so they don't have a clue. Anyone that does see the truth for what it is usually try and hide it by blending in so that the School Gestapo doesn't round them up and take them to the Fuhrer ( kindly putting it ). Yes it is all schools not just Maryville. This train ride is not headed in a good direction and if the public had seen a movie of what's happening now back in 1980 everyone would have been headed home afterwards to change underware.

      You are so correct!  It’s really 99.9% of academia want to change to way that education is not only taught but the way it is viewed.  The pendulum has definitely swung as far to the left as possible and eventually will swing to the right much too far.  I have always  said that politics and one’s personal religious views need to stay out of education,  but for the last 40 years education has been running full throttle to what we have today.  If the social experiment that we are currently experiencing continues it is only a matter of time before the public school system in the USA completely collapses and all kids attend private schools or even worse don’t go to school.

      I am talking about what they both did for their team. They both carried their team for four years while they were both there. I wasn’t really comparing them that would be unfair. Bishop is on a level of his own.
