So totally agree, ballroom blitz! You'da lost your like cherry if floundear hadn't demanded the remaining ones I had left! So, for now, you'll have to settle for a mediocre (meaty oaker, for some of yuns--old huddle joke..lol) welcome, as I can't post my best bucket pix 'cause I'm on my iPad........

Not sure correct me if I am wrong this incident is seperate from the Magg incident.Does this young man even play football? From my understanding this took place in a classroom not an athletic facility.Said teacher/ coach should feel grateful I think students are an automatic 10 day suspension for striking another student.As for previous comment on getting a slap on the hand the unrelated pizza guys got,I believe they got 60+ days in jdc,community service,and probation.Yes they earned it from there actions,but to say it was a slap on the wrist is not in the ballpark.If we dont expect more from adults in a leadership role than we do the kids who are we really selling short?

[slice slice baby]

You're correct, oldie but goodie.... Separate incident that happened in the class room.

I don't know Carpenter at all, but the guy sounds like he isn't too bright. If you don't realize that hitting a kid in the groin, whether in the context of horseplay or not, is a poor decision, I don't know that you should be trusted to be in charge of kids. If you are a teacher, coach, volunteer, or any other person who is in charge of kids, you should never touch them outside of what is required for your particular position. It's just a bad idea. No hugging. No shoulder rubbing. No "bag tagging", as the kids like to call it. Nothing. He sounds like a teacher/coach who is unaware of these boundaries and is trying to "just be one of the kids".

Two words to live by that could probably make his life a whole lot simpler: grow up!

Thanks slice..quite happy to be here!

I've completely changed my opinion on this one. When the humping thing was first reported, it looked like a one time thing. A moment of idiocy that we are all really capable of. But after that, anybody with any common sense has to know that there can be no further incidences.......ever. Now, after he narrowly escapes the chopping block the first time, he alegedly knees a kid in the groin? I can't see that there is really anything to talk about

I can agree with the fact that they had their day in court. i know my kids would fear what was in store for them when they arrived home and what punishment would be brought down by their parents..i guess im getting at the parents that moved so their children could play sports. i will say no more As im taking this post off subject....just wanted to get a couple newbie pennies in on it.

[Colt45]

He did not knee the kid in the groin for 10th time.

[ole4186]

Well, I suppose we could talk about whether he actually did knee somebody in the groin... Or is the standard now 'Two accusations and you're out'?

[blitzkreig]

I said pennies...2 is always better than one !

[ole4186]

I dont know paperboy if I knee someone in the groin at my job I am gone no questions.Also colt Not sure where the tenth time come from but looking back at your post I dont count ten denials.Who exactly was your math teacher????

[bubbatime]

My guess is this situation is one of two things:

1. Where there is smoke, there is fire. Carpenter repeatedly makes poor decisions that lead to him being accused of various infractions. Is malice his intent? Probably not, but it is poor judgement either way, and it has now impacted his job.

or

2. This is a witch hunt. A group of parents, and possibly students, who don't like Carpenter for whatever reason have decided that they are going to put his job in jeopardy by devising a series of fictional events. These events will include several inappropriate acts toward students including "air-humping" and a shot to some poor freshman's stones. Witnesses will also need to be planted so that the events, which never actually took place, seem credible.

Now you tell me, which seems more plausible? From an outsiders point of view, option #1 is the most likely scenario. Option #2 requires way too many people to be in cahoots, and for all of them to remain silent about what is really going on.

That's why I said "allegedly" and used a question mark. Thus, giving him the benefit of the doubt

And yet you finished by saying 'I can't see that there is really anything to talk about', and the accusation itself was clearly enough to change your opinion on the matter.

I think this a good description of the events......except I disagree it's one of two things....I think it's both.

Good point. There likely is a group who is out to get him (name me a high school football coach who doesn't have that kind of group) and he is making it way too easy for them.
