right now I see you as the pee....and the leg is the SD. maybe you can go back in your time machine and unscrew the district...but somehow I think we will persevere without the negativity you will because it doesn't affect you - make sure you stay in line with what your 'neighbor' wants you to say....I'm sure he's appreciative. Yep- lemming behavior is much better than questioning things. I have no animosity towards the SD my friend and will say flat out I have likely donated more time and effort than you ever did. The problem is I love this SD- just some of our 'leaders' ( not all ) - are killing what spirit we had. You care not to take your head from the bucket- but others of us have..and don't like what we see. It's not YOUR SD- it belongs to all of us whether you like that or not. I just hope I am around when one day the shoe is on the other foot - I really do because your tunnel vision deserves to have it's day also I didn't realize pushing for varsity sports for ALL the kids at Metea was negative - only someone quite brainwashed would view it that way.doc..I view you as negative..not the idea of pushing for varsity sports a MV. for 99% of all HS underclassmen, playing varsity sports is not a part of the HS experience. again a lot of the rest of you post is confusing to me because I thought you were against labeling and thought it was hurting the district? But I think your true colors shine through from time to time and it's not pretty. |

"For him to use that language, I think, really speaks to the emotionally charged atmosphere surrounding us these days," Doc is an incredibly talented man with a wealth of knowledge and a heart that is absolutely in this for the kids, But sometimes he speaks off the cuff and these things happen. Docs words "speak to the frustration level of all of us."  Now, let's all enjoy the rainy day.  |

But I think your true colors shine through from time to time and it's not pretty. and for that 1% it doesn't matter ? That is where you and i differ- I want a great experience for ALL the kids - you are willing to accept whatever and everyone else should make do - that is your perogative , but do not label me negative for it. BTW there are more than a few coaches here in 204 who agree with me - yes I do know them also, maybe you want to talk to a few before you pass judgement.

The answer is likely they do not view me as negative and even if we happen to disagree on a topic or two- we agree on ten fold that amount. My trip to Springfield to support Darlene Sengers bill and talk to some people I know in Springfield about that same issue burned one of my vacation days because I believed it was the right thing to do for kids - again all kids- not just mine. I have volunteered my time to the Chicago Public Schools for 25+ years - classroom speaking and e-mentoring to give back to my alma mater and other city schools and kids who could use the help and get very little of it. . So for you to call me negative - well that's your problem - not mine. I want a positive and strong 204 and we can have it - when some people stop being sheep and certain people who have been in roles too long to see the forest for the trees any more- move on. so if all that makes me negative in the encyclopedia of Steckdad - so be it |

Steckdad, what is the argument against Varsity level sports? If it's competition, that's an argument that is fairly weak. Especially when you have varsity teams fielded with prominent freshman and sophomore players. Is it size? Sports with weight restrictions or constraints do present saftey issues, but besides football and wrestling what would be affected?
You seem to have a strong opinion, what is the basis?

Loser buys dinner at the restaurant of choice in the area. If we can make this happen. Also I think you may be underestimating boys soccer for success - again due to the fact the older kids usually don't play HS later in HS, as well as overestimating some competition in the UEC. and if they agree to go foreward - someone should do the same for the AD - varsity coach and principal to thank them... I know some people who might be involved in the MVHS booster club -- they could make it happen. |

should we or should we not field a varsity basketball team at MV if there are two kids that could compete? this is what I am getting at. every family cannot be happy with this change. don't pretend like the kids will never experience varsity sports or that they won't attend them. In the meanwhile they could attend the JV games? I know ..It's not the same..sigh and yes..I played varsity baseball and basketball as a sophomore. as far as your 204 resume...that's awesome..you are a superstar everyone should come to you for advice...your opinion and view on things outweighs all others. and look at this nice shiny website you run!!! I have a good Idea why there are two 204 proboards now.Oh, you do? I could pull that reasoning out of cold storage, but I think it would even top the language in the dipsh!t email of referring to a parent as a M*F*.... Then again, perhaps that interesting episode back in Feb 2008 was just the final straw and the real reasons were working behind the scenes prior separating off those that would support a northern site and those that wouldn't... From what I remember, the information flow behind the scenes from a particular SB member was interesting to say the least. |

Sports with weight restrictions or constraints do present saftey issues, but besides football and wrestling what would be affected? You seem to have a strong opinion, what is the basis? I dont know Entitled; I have some painful first hand experience with being on an all Frosh team ( all 14 and 15 year olds "all stars so to speak" club team) playing against U 19 club teams (17,18,19 year olds) in baseball. We didnt have much of a choice in the matter. Our club wanted our team to play up and there wasnt another team we could play on that would be playing in the JV league (our club had a JV team, but it was filled with players that did not make our U 19 club team and still had one year of eligibility remaining (17 and young 18 year olds) I did a post on it over on Green. It did help us in the long run (when we got to be 17-18) but that summer was very very painful and was not good for many of our players. maybe I felt it more than most because I was a pitcher in addition to utility outfielder. I sure didnt help my pitching confidence when I had trouble making it through inning #1 ;D. So, "forcing" entire teams to play varsity (what happens if there is not enough froshes and sophs to fill out two full teams..one "varsity and one JV") you are in effect forcing some of the kids that should be playing in JV to either quit for a year or tough it out all for the benefit of a few "wiz kids" that would make them "good enough" to be competitive. That would have to be figured out. could the kids go play JV at WV or NV? could some of the "varsity" players play for two teams to ensure MVHS could field two teams? I dont want to through wrenchs into the Varsity discussion but wanted to ensure everyone was cognizant about what to do with the "regular joe" players. |

To Dr. Who: I'm still not convinced that The Froshes/Sophs will be competitive at varsity in any of the boys sports. I grant you Girls in Basketball and PERHAPS volleyball and Soccer (just due to the fact that the club programs are so prevelant here in CHicago) MIGHT be competitive. ;D If I can help your cause to get varsity sports up and running year one at MVHS and by some miracle we are successful; will you bet me that at least one team will have a record better than 500 in varsity schedule in 2009? Loser has to pay the others State income Tax increase Next year the wager can be the property tax increase differential. too rich for my blood as I'm really not much of a betting person but I would be willing to say at least 1 team will have a .500 or better record yes. Loser buys dinner at the restaurant of choice in the area. If we can make this happen. Also I think you may be underestimating boys soccer for success - again due to the fact the older kids usually don't play HS later in HS, as well as overestimating some competition in the UEC. and if they agree to go foreward - someone should do the same for the AD - varsity coach and principal to thank them... I know some people who might be involved in the MVHS booster club -- they could make it happen. your on!!  I will help if we can ensure that the "the everyday Joe" players will have a choice/chance to play. Decision to either play JV or "step it up" and play varsity. If there is no choice (one team and its varsity only)..I am a little queasy about that. I would need to cogitate on that for a little bit. I know kids are gung ho, but Iwould feel better if the kids/parents had a choice/option in the matter. |
