State of Florida passes the Teddy Bridgewater Act

[404Usernamenotfound]

I’m saying to let the school’s students find a way to raise the money. I’m not talking only about football. The schools never nurture that at any age.
It’s too rigid and designed to create workers and not creators. That’s why the wealthiest of the world would never allow their kids to attend a public school.
As far as football and grifters….

These kids are getting meals, extra training, transportation, clothes, and anything else they can from people as soon as they flash any talent. The school board, DOE, Florida Athletic Association is never changing that.
And when it comes down to where they go to college, you better be taking those people into consideration.
Remember when coaches would get hired by programs and their former players would commit to the school that hired him?
Do you even know the type of sht that goes down in pee wee football down here like underground gambling?

Do you even know what goes on in high school football?
Limiting a coach from donating money to his program is just allowing it to go further under the table and laughable honestly.

I cant take you serious if you think wealthy people send their kids to private school because public schools are not nurturing "creators". That's such a boomer take.

Wealthy people send their kids to private school because of demographics. They want their kid around other kids with successful parents who care enough about their kids education to spend money on school, and not around the **** you get with public school.

There are levels to wealth. Most people think wealthy parents are the ones that spend 30k a year for private school.
You know, Columbus, sta, American heritage.

I’m talking g about the elite of the elite schools where billionaires send there kids.

These schools cost about 100k per year or more and are boarding schools.
You don’t just show up and say you have money to pay.
You have to be well connected to even get your kid in there.

They even have them in Europe.
They teach a way different curriculum.

really?

supremely successful families send their kids to elite schools with specialized instruction geared towards a student body that likely inherited above average IQ from their parents? Wow who would have thought.

Wait until you find out that public school is essentially day care that is specifically geared for the lower quintile of the population to the detriment of everyone else.

So wealthy people have higher iq’s because of genetics?

To answer your question literally, of course anyone with higher iq has their higher iq largely due to their genetics.

To answer what I believe you were trying to say, of course wealthier people have higher iq (on average) than the average person. Which is as to say, folks with higher IQ are higher earners, on average.

And lastly, since my previous comment mentioned children of wealthy people, let me also state that of course intelligence is an inheritable trait and anyone that pretends it isn’t is not to be taken serious.

 

[Coach Macho]

There’s a teachers Union in all 50 states. I never said coaches should want a union.

Our teachers union in Florida is actually attempting to block us (coaches) from getting raises.

That's why/how the Florida Coaches Coalition was started.

 

[Coach Macho]

Moral of the story — be a teacher in the Northeast or a millionaire ex-NFL-player-turned-HS-football-coach in the Southeast. Otherwise there’s no money in public school teaching or coaching.

The public school coaches in Southern states (not named Florida) are making a ton of money.

 

[Morey161]

As someone married to an elementary school teacher.. I can 100% confirm.

I’ve even contributed to supplies and food/snacks

Wife is a teacher. Spends tons of money on her kids always has and always will. The amount of care she has for these kids is endless.

 

[Coach Macho]

The Teddy bill just allows us to spend our money (whether personal funds or booster funds) to provide rides, therapy, food, etc to our kids. You don't need to be a millionaire to take advantage of the bill, you just need to have funds available.

Prior to this bill, even if you had funds available (booster money for example) you couldn't [legally] use it to purchase users, pay for therapy, pay coaches, etc.

To put things into perspective... (and this is pathetic)...

We did an event at our school that raised roughly 20k. THE SCHOOL TOOK THAT MONEY... and allocated it to whatever they saw fit. Even though WE RAISED IT, we don't have a green light to spend it. If we want to spend it on new equipment, a sled, practice dummies, etc...we have to get it approved/cleared. And we DEFINITELY can't use the money we raise to pay coaches. THAT'S ILLEGAL. (until this new bill passes)

I got 3k this season as a coordinator. Best season in school history. Made it to the 3rd round. Only 8.5 PPG allowed in the regular season, 11.2 PPG allowed including playoffs.
I get paid the same as a first-year DC who went 2-8. And if I wanted to negotiate some extra money based on performance, the booster club legally wouldn't be allowed to pay me.
To make matters worse...I already spent 2k this month alone going to clinics. (registration, hotel rooms, gas, food, etc)
So there goes my stipend.

Not trying to make this about me... but this is a small example of an extremely big problem, and unless it gets fixed we're gonna see more public school coaches switch to the private sector or just leave the state entirely.
You wonder why coaching down here is garbage, well here's a big reason why. There's no incentive to be good. That's why you have so many High School coaches latching onto kids and becoming handlers rather than being actual coaches. The ROI on being a "handler" in South Florida is much better. Sad.

And to add insult to injury...
The kids that we're developing are signing 300k-800k contracts coming out of high school... while we remain poor.

Talent and intelligence doesn’t guarantee success. The highest IQ ever recorded at MENSA was a bouncer in Long Island for over 20 years.
Wealthy men aren’t picking women for intelligence breeding.
But they sure as hail aren’t sending their 5 year old to a 25 year old social justice warrior, who’s underpaid, overworked, with an AI assisted psych major who couldn’t be able to teach math at any level without the robot packet that was given to her by the state.

My comment stands. Public school nurtures a different mindset, theory, and level of education than the most elite schools. The drop out rate even proves it.
15-30 percent of high school drop outs are of above average intelligence while only 10% of graduates fit that category.
