Those band parents SHOW UP which is why expanding the Green Brigade is one of the smartest things our school has done.
I bet for every band kid, you average atleast two additional people (family members or student friends) who attend the game.
Which is why I think we should add a Kilgore Rangerette style drill team. Add 100 drill teamers and you’d probably get 300 extra parents and boyfriends at every game. That is 400 extra people in the stands EVERY game.
Interesting debate (I guess) not sure how this took a dive into “beating kids” but this is gomeangreen
However
what I took out of this article was more of a problem with colleges…..from the point of view of companies that are supposed to be using them to bring in talent. Seems they’re not providing suitable employees for corporations. To the point where these companies just can’t do anything with them so they’re firing them.
If this trend continues or gets worse….what does that do the value of a degree?
Going back up stream: if it truly is a problem with the kids themselves, seems companies are starting to weed out the poor performers so do colleges start increasing their standards, holding students accountable? Teaching them what it takes to succeed? Or will they just keep taking in all that money and building the nice buildings while churning out an unsatisfactory product. Are they going to develop these kids so they’re providing suitable employees for the companies that want their “talent?”
This trend seems unsustainable…..
