Why Do So Many Kids HATE School?
A Paradigm Shift Is Necessary In Education. And Now, A Colledge Football
Coach Offers Such Reform.
As coaches, we have opportunities that teachers do not. Coaching is a
performance based working relationship that relies on the mastery of
fundamentals and technique to create a competitive advantage. Coaches
are held accountable for an athlete's performance on and off the field.
This leads us very quickly to a fork in the road. We can bend the rules
academically, and manipulate the system so that they can get through and
stay eligible, or we can invest deeply in them and help them technically
and fundamentally so that they can become legitimate, independent
performers in all areas of life.
I see myself at the center of the paradigm shift, which is based on
skills and ideas, not subjects and orders. Study hall, medication,
tutoring and other conventional forms of intervention aren't what we
need. They aren't the long-term solution. We need sustained performance
based change that is built on fundamentals and technique. If we are
going to effect permanent, long-lasting, fundamental change, the
paradigm shift has to begin somewhere other than in the schools.
Therefore, parents and educators must pursue such change individually
through a program like Academic Gameplan.
Academic Gameplan is a coaching based program that teaches the rules,
fundamentals and techniques to the game of school. The life skills we
teach are SOLID, SIMPLE, and REPEATABLE. AGP is the ROCK upon which
students are building lifelong success!
