Well said, Ed. I agree.

It took four years for Gail from FiM to wear me down to start a High School team. Five years later, it was the best thing I have ever done. I spend over 1000 hours a year, easily.

Each state is different; Each city is different; each county is different; each school district is different; and each student is different. Trying to to find a one size fits all is very hard.

In my case, this model works well with me as a coach, it works well with the growth of my team, and it works well with aligning with the progress of curriculum in my school district. It fits. Yeah! But that may not be true for all people, everywhere.

Time will tell if this concept works for everyone. We won't know unless someone tries. If it doesn't, then we will know.
