Colorado has resisted standardization for 130 years. |
It's amazing, I guess, to sit there and think about it being done that quickly. We weren't expecting it that quick, but it happened. A lot of people in the community helped. |
It's hard on a program to develop like that. |
It's just good for the kids. I think they enjoy it. It gives the girls a chance to be more like some of the boys' (baseball) games, getting to play at night. It has created a little bit of excitement for the girls. |
The girls are very excited about it, and so are the parents. It looks good. |
This has been a lot better, because you know when you go out there, you're going to play your full game. It's a lot more relaxed. And even on practice days, we don't have to hurry up. We don't always have to start right after school. |
We're used to local control where local boards of education write curriculum, they determine opening and closing dates, they determine the holidays and so on. |
