Thanks for sharing!

In recognized year - end national rankings , it is worth noting that leading Mid- Atlantic schools were recognized ahead of championship New England schools in several of the listed sports. Kudos to all of the participants and teams.

How The Hun School of Princeton is ranked ahead of Deerfield in the MaxPrep NEPSAC football poll is beyond me…

Have no idea how that happened!

To add texture, the impetus for this article is a tweet by NY Post columnist Karol Marcowitz, a journalist who makes Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity look like ultraliberals.

Is it not true? I saw it on Yahoo news also. It would be interesting to hear from any HM parents on here to verify the story. Thanks.

I assume the email is genuine. Whether that is the full text quoted or an edit, IDK.

"In an email to parents, Horace Mann in the Bronx said: ‘There will be no debating whether a prompt was once, twice, or thrice, if you need to be told to wear your mask appropriately, you spend two days at home, and if it occurs a second time you are telling me that HM is not the school for you.’ "

Fine, except things got VERY lax the last few months among students, teachers and admins and it may take a while for folks to re-learn this. Are they going to come down hard on teachers when they are working out and playing basketball while wearing the old “chin diaper”?

Just wondering…

If they do, probably won’t be many more “first offense teachers.”

News from CT - After 88 point girls basketball win by Sacred Heart Academy over Lyman Hall (Wallingford), there was some explaining to do….

There was even a question :interrobang: Of course it was bad sportsmanship. That’s why many groups, and in some cases, states, have a meet rule in place for competitions below the collegiate level.
