Football In MS Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 On 12/17/2025 at 11:31 AM, Admiral4Life said: Coaches are paid as teachers too. You can't justify paying a full teaching salary to someone who only works 1-2 periods a day. Teaching is part of the job as well. Not taking academics seriously hurts the children more than a losing season does. Athletics and academics can go hand in hand. Neither needs to suffer. They both have to be taken care of. There is absolutely NOTHING gained by a football team that wins a few more games but the athletes are allowed to get away with murder in the classroom because our lord and savior Holy Football has to win some games. It's a TERRIBLE lesson to teach these young men. It’s staggering how many (male) coaches do exactly this. Coach football, baseball or basketball one period a day and then are ‘assigned’ other classes on paper… that they don’t actually teach. While getting full time teacher pay. I’ve seen it with my own eyes. But to be clear, I’ve only seen this with males (usually those at larger, competitive schools). Female teachers who also coach softball or cheer or basketball don’t get this same treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
