I sure hope so based solely on the alternative.

It's not only an inner city issue, though I agree that it's a big issue there (sometimes for different reasons than the ones I listed above).

Some districts are of course better than others, and that's mostly because engaged parents move to places where their child is most likely to benefit.

I don't care so much about extra curricular engagement. There are many parents who overemphasize extra curriculars and don't promote 'curriculars' enough. There are also families out there who can't afford to participate in many extra curriculars, but that doesn't mean they skimp on the educational engagement.

I think Tulsa is likely similar to most areas. I have friends and family who teach at Bixby, Union, Owasso, Jenks, Glenpool, Sapulpa and two at risk TPS. Parents in the burbs are generally engaged and active in the educational process including extra curricular activities. Which tends to show it’s with high academic performance from their children.

The at risk TPS schools generally lack parental involvement. Far too many of those parents show a lack of concern when their kids perform poorly or fail to complete assignments. These kids were particularly hit hard with the Covid closures. Over half of students in my two friends classes completed zero or a very minimal amount of work. They lost almost a year.

Sapulpa and Glenpool are a mixture of the two as one might expect due to the diversity of those districts.

I’m not completely sure, but I know there’s a fairly significant number TU would have to pay to make him go away. No matter what that number is, it’s a small price to pay. This was the worst hire in TU athletics since John Philips and Keith Burns. This may be worse than Burns.

There is zero reason for this guy to continue on for another game. I know there’s a significant buyout, but they can’t afford to keep him.

That’s 8 blow out, embarrassing losses in 21 games as head coach! How many more times do we need to see these horrible performances to realize he’s not the answer.

I tried to tell you guys. Rick Dickson is an excellent fund raiser but a terrible judge of coaching talent. He put Tulane back 10 years in terms of on the field success.
