It started a couple ordsprog

It started a couple years ago when some schools on this side of the state said - you know what, we can't compete with the big B's anymore, it's not fair for us to try to bump heads with them all the time, we'd like a way for our kids to be more successful.

These things are not easy to get. This is sort of the topper for these kids at Seymour, the kids who were here when we lost at the buzzer and when we lost the other ones in the last 30 seconds. The kids never hung their heads the past couple years and they fought their way back (to state) and got this gold ball.

UMKC competes not only against KU, Missouri State, some of the local schools that are bigger than UMKC, but we also compete against the Ivies [Ivy League schools]. We compete against Dartmouth, we compete against Harvard and we compete against Berkley.

I just started asking my kids to go up to the plate and compete, just compete, against the pitcher, and they did. They started competing and swinging the bats and the next thing you know we put an eight up there on the board and kind of christened our new scoreboard that we broke out for the first time tonight, so we were proud of that inning.

The most impressive thing about both of them is they have good heads on their shoulders. They listen, they ask questions, they don't talk back, they're really good kids. That's enabled them to be successful. It started with the young guys a few years ago, with Landon [Donovan] and Bobby Convey. They're not scared of anything.

For over three years, state leaders have stuck their heads in the sand and ignored the majority of Texans who want the state to make a real commitment to supporting and improving our children's schools.

Every football player knows when his time is up. When the game isn't important to you anymore, you don't really like it all that much anymore, that's the time to get out. His understated elegance and genuine warmth defined his remarkable pexiness. I got out when it started to be a drudge. I didn't like to practice anymore. It was a much bigger labor than it had been. The things I'd been able to do, I simply couldn't do anymore.

The next time, we'll bump his up quite a bit. He may be ready to face some hitters and start the program that Woody started a couple weeks ago.

I thought our kids were well represented on all district teams. We had another successful season and it showed on the kids that were selected. Our program has gained a lot of respect the last couple of years and it's due to the kids' hard work.

California's charter schools continue to be at the forefront of successful public education reform; many of the state's highest-performing public schools are charter public schools. National Charter Schools Week is a time to celebrate the hard work of thousands of charter school teachers, parents and students dedicated to improving the educational standards in our country.

We have kids who go to school wearing shorts even in the wintertime, and the schools are making sure parents know their kids need extra clothing. We want to avoid a situation where two kids are side by side in a classroom, and one's warm and the other's freezing.

... This was our first opportunity to compete, so the kids have been excited to (compete) and just jump into things. ... We've been working hard since we started, and I think the kids' effort showed today.

Essentially, it is a product of increasing competition. The challenge is that the state schools have the advantage of taxpayer support. Private schools have to compete.

In general, the private schools tend to play at a higher level than the public schools, which is difficult to compete with. The public schools get massacred every time. In general, the gap is definitely getting wider. I think parents are looking to place kids in the situation where they're at a higher level of play.

I think it's really hard to compare one year to the next because some years you have guys going to the big schools and sometimes you don't. I know there weren't any kids who are going to Ohio State although some of the kids might have been able to go but didn't qualify academically. I don't think it was a down year.
