[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]They just rescheduled the  Northwest vs Quince Orchard football game from Friday night to 4:30 in the afternoon.[/b]  Many parents who want to watch their football players, cheerleaders, pom squad members, band members etc play now have to leave work early.

This is in direct response to the violence and illegal weapons brought to games - especially in Germantown.

If your teens used to spend their Friday nights at a football game with friends... that just got taken away from them, too.

Sounds like a smart move to me.  It never crossed my mind that there was an entitlement or tradition to go to a football game every friday night.  I guess this is maybe when they have typically been scheduled but I honestly never even noticed the pattern.   My kids have played different sports and those are regularly played in the afternoon-- if I want to attend I need to leave work early.   It sounds like people are creating a false narrative that they are losing something of value when the school is doing its best to maintain order, which is something we all want.

Incidentally, police are always on hand at varsity football games, whether the SRO program exists or not.[/quote]
