I agree with you FMFAN...I don't think I said that no college scouts come to high school games. It is up to the high school coach to promote the player, and the player to promote themselves to get the scouts out to the high school games.
Now on to the other topic of teachers and a new school. I have to agree with LE Dude with a few points. I am a project manager that is back in school to finish my education degree. At least in the north, there are way too many teachers for the teaching positions in the classroom. There have been hundreds of lay-offs up here, and there are plenty of teachers. I know in SC they are looking for teachers, but better pay, and working in a new school are huge things to look at. So what about AP classes. They are absolutley no harder to teach than normal classes. There may be different material to cover, but all teaching is basically the same. You have something that you need the kids to learn.....you find a way that works best for all the students to learn the material.....you teach it to them.....you move on to the next topic. There are certain things on the AP exam that need to be covered, so cover them in an effective way, and get the kids to learn. I am sure that there will be plenty of teachers to fill the classrooms when the new school opens. There are a lot of new teachers that need jobs. Even new teachers can be a very efficitve teacher. Most new teachers actually care about getting tenure and try very hard. I have spent a lot of time in the classroom, and have noticed the older teachers that are comfortable with their teaching styles tend to be the teachers that are not the best in quality and quantity learned in the classroom. The ones that are always looking at new techniques, new technology, and new ideas are the ones that keep finding better and better ways of improving their teaching quality. I just think that there will not be a huge hole to fill when the new high school opens. Sorry for getting on my soap box.....just my opinion.
