Not looking forward to my kid missing school.

If true, this is a best-case scenario for our family, understanding that school will be missed. This avoids the 2026 AP test administration. That's what we were most worried about when we learned it would be earlier.

100% CHANCE you post on Linkedin about how humbled you are about your self-shared success. SMH.

Huh? LinkedIn? For bragging about my kids' academic success? Or an anonymous soccer forum where no one knows who I or my kids are? The dates are good for us. How's that for a post? Lots and lots of kids take AP exams and it couldn't even be bragging. Maybe take a second to evaluate why someone providing simple, and not special, information makes you angry.

Some teams only got to play one game due to the weather. Climate change is going to make scheduling these events harder and harder. Nashville in June should not be too hot and stormy to host an event, but increased humidity and temps will make it too risky to have it almost anywhere in the Southeast. I hope they can find a good replacement.

This forum to peddle climate change? Poor son.

Peddling facts? You should worry about your own kids. Seriously.

That’s a fantastic outlook. It is a certainty that 99.7% of parents will face this reality. Plus it leaves room for an upside surprise!

Do you? I'm blaming climate change for it being hotter and more humid. Facts we have to deal with in planning.

I blame you for being dumb.

Just because you choose to live in fantasy land that doesn't make someone dumb for pointing out the new normal.

Fantasy land because it rained for a week in Nashville in June on a planet (checks notes), 4 billion+ years old?

I am not going back and forth on this topic on a soccer thread. But I fear if I don’t give you the last word, this will never end. So with that in mind, take it away.

This Post essay excerpt explains why this is hard for you:

By and large we share the opinions of our tribe. So when we ask people to believe in climate modeling or vaccine science, what we are really asking people to do is choose between their community’s beliefs and an abstract dataset. It’s a direct referendum on the people they know and love. Most people will not betray their tribe for a stranger in a lab coat.
