I agree with the last part of what you are saying in regards to higher pay would help the teacher shortage. However I disagree about the benefits. A teacher is on a 200 day contract. Let’s compare that to a regular full time job. My dad worked at Gerdau Ameristeel in Jackson for 30+ years. He worked 7 days on and 7 days off on 12hr shifts. If a teacher works 200 8hr days it comes out to about the same. Or let’s take a regular factory job. I have a cousin that works at Dana in Humboldt as a welder. He works 5 days a week 8 hrs a day with 4 weeks vacation. Also there are certain holidays where the plant is shut down and everyone is off. In the end it comes out to only a few days difference. Don’t forget that teachers have to go to professional developments and conferences that are not part of their contract during summer and breaks just to keep their license. Let’s not even bring coaches into this. I’m a coach per say and put in more hours than I can begin to count outside of my regular work hours. Thinking that teachers are off during summers and breaks just kicking their feet up on the beach or chilling on the coach watching Netflix is a common assumption that is completely false. If anything we work just as many days and hours as most occupations and are grossly underpaid. 

Understandable

    • Making 100,000 a year not a bad gig
    • Yep..could possibly have 3 teams ranked in top ten in the same four team district.
    • He had an opportunity to be the OC at TC without final say in the offensive gameplan. How does that work? Smh. Head Coaches are public figures regardless of the community size, and yes there are some out there, it’s irrelevant and not fair to them to name them on here. Also why is said “head coach” the head coach of the MS baseball program to begin with? Oh because no one wants it. As for the Lebanon question, I know what I’ve been told so just going off here say, some of the boosters were not happy with his roster decisions and wanted him out. Although he lead them to 20+ wins in multiple seasons 
    • A head coach in the school system? No I dont think so. Head coaches are public figures in small communities. Not trying to slander, but this is an actual question. Do you know why he was forced to resign at Lebanon? This was his second chance.  He already left trousdale once and had an opportunity to come back a couple of years ago but spoiled that. 
    • Are you perfect? Nope no one is, at the end of the day there are several teachers/coaches and even some in the Trousdale County school system that have DUI’s on their record. You’re correct on it being a bad mistake and it unfortunately could have ended horribly. While you consider the consequences minimal, I can assure you they are not. Ultimately I hope and have faith that he will learn from it and use it to better himself.
