"Real Talk"

[lil Rock]

What do you guys think? I'm 37 and a Disable Vet, I decided to return to school so that I can recieve my coaching certification and I found out that University of Central Arkansas offers a major in African American Studies in which I'm taken a class for it right now at a local community college. I was hoping to teach this on a Junior High or High School Level. Uncle Sam is aken care of the bill so it allows me to go full time. My question is to you all is; do you see someone getting into coaching at my age and do your city or state offer this type of class to students. By the way I have been coaching AAU basketball for years as well as hosting Camps and Clinics here locally and have done very well. I would love to do both and my wife is in support and we are even willing to relocate!! Just looking for some comments and advice!!

37 isn't too old to get into coaching, but only if that's to supplement your teacher's salary, cause I don't think it's logical you'll be able to climb the coaching ladder starting so late (anything's possible though). As far as teaching AAS, it's one of the most valuable subjects, if not the most, for young black students, but I can't think of many high schools, let alone middle schools, that offer AAS courses. I guess it just depends on the districts you apply to.

I don't know what the certification process would be for an AAS teacher, since I doubt the public school system has any knowledge on Africana studies whatsoever. But if you're trying to actually make a difference in some kids' lives, I say go for it. If they don't offer the class at the school systems around you, perhaps you could petition for school funds to be allocated to start an Africana Studies society and you could lead the kids on an extracurricular level, kinda like Future Teachers of America. But yeah, financial planning and AAS are the two most important subjects I'd want black kids to be required to take, IMO.

Let me say that I help train ball players at a local junior college, I've had many offers at different levels but I need that degree. Thanks for your imput; I get that VA money that pretty much handles my bills so the salary part really wouldn't much of a factor as long as they are fair, and moving up really would not matter Jr. High, High School, or Juco would be fine. I want to educate and help as many young people as I can. I did know a teacher who told me that she had taken a AAS class at a Little Rock puplic school, I just wanted to see if anyone from different parts knew if this was offered in some other states just so if I decide to test the waters.

Its a film and its a satire.

C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America is a 2004 mockumentary directed by Kevin Willmott. It is a fictional account of an alternate history in which the Confederates won the American Civil War.

The movie is presented as if it were a British documentary. A note suggests that censorship came close to preventing its first broadcast in the Confederate States of America (C.S.A.), and that its point of view might not coincide with that of the TV network. C.S.A was released on DVD on August 8, 2006. -- Wikipedia
