再次重温关于Odessa的Permian Panthers的永恒记录——他们是Texas历史上胜场最多的高中橄榄球队。Odessa并非以怀揣远大梦想而闻名，但Panthers让这座尘土飞扬的小镇的希望与梦想得以延续。小镇在社会与种族上四分五裂，其脆弱的经济追随着石油产业险象环生的繁荣与萧条周期。在不景气的时期，失业率飙升失控；在景气时期，谋杀率急剧攀升。但每年九月到十二月的每个周五晚上，当Permian High School Panthers踏上球场时，这座西Texas小镇……

…让教师更有担当、奖励更优秀的教师、淘汰更差劲的教师，并在不对 NEA 和 AFT 动用战术核武器的情况下，从整体上改变我们学校的文化。[1] 读读 Bissinger 的《Friday Night Lights》，那是关于我所说情况写得最生动的范例。[2] http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/07/education/07teacher.html
…make teachers more accountable, reward better teachers, remove crappier teachers, and generally change the culture in our schools without taking tactical nukes to the NEA and AFT. [1] Read Bissinger's Friday Night Lights for the best-written example of what I'm talking about. [2] http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/07/education/07teacher.html
顺便提一句，Bissinger 还写过《Friday Night Lights》，这是有史以来最著名的体育调查报道之一。指出在 MLB 发现并（出名地）利用市场无效性是一回事…
For what it's worth, Bissinger also wrote Friday Night Lights, which is one of the more famous investigative journalism pieces ever written about sports. It's one thing to point out that, having identified and (famously) exploited market inefficiencies in the MLB…
…Jay Asher 的《13 Reasons Why》、Sherman Alexie 的《The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian》、Theodore Dreiser 的《An American Tragedy》、Alice Walker 的《The Color Purple》、M.T. Anderson 的《Feed》、Buzz Bissinger 的《Friday Night Lights》、Cecily von Ziegesar 的《Gossip Girl》、Maya Angelou 的《I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings》。我有点惊讶詹姆斯·乔伊斯的《Ulysses》没上榜，不过也许 AI 没法…
…Why by Jay Asher The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie An American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser The Color Purple by Alice Walker Feed by M.T. Anderson Friday Night Lights by Buzz Bissinger Gossip Girl by Cecily von Ziegesar I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou I'm a bit surprised that Ulysses by James Joyce didn't make the list, but maybe the AI couldn't…
…还有一个是师资人才的问题（报考教育学院的学生的 GPA 和 SAT 成绩，在开设教育学位的大学里都低于中位数）。心态很难解释；《Friday Night Lights》这本书探究了但没给出解释。师资水平是能解释得通的，但没人喜欢这个解释——女性就业市场的放开让很多高素质女性脱离了…
…and one of teaching talent (the students who enroll in Schools of Education are below the median for GPA and SAT scores for universities that offer education degrees). Attitudes are hard to explain; Friday Night Lights (the book) examines but doesn't explain. The quality of teaching stock is explainable, but no one likes the explanation - the opening of the workforce to women has taken a lot of high-quality women out…
…http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/14/health/brain-damage-dementia-c... 唯一还在不断要求做更多研究的原因就是拖延时间，好让他们继续从高中运动员身上捞钱。德州的高中橄榄球就是一桩敛财勾当（racket），正如《Friday Night Lights》这本书（不是电影或电视剧）里记录的那样。而且，如果你不信那本书，James Michener 在 20 年前就写过一本叫《Sports in America》的书，记录了全美所有业余…
…http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/14/health/brain-damage-dementia-c... The only reason to keep asking for more studies is to stall so they can make money off of high school athletes, high school football in Texas in a racket as documented in the book Friday Night Lights (not the movie or TV show). Also, if you don't believe that book, James Michener wrote a book 20 years earlier called Sports in America that documents the same phenomena across America in all amateur…
我的印象里，《Friday Night Lights》这本书揭露了高中橄榄球核心的种族主义和阶级主义，而那还仅仅是在德州；James Michener 也提出过这类社会机会成本/健康成本/经济利益方面的问题…
My recollection is the book Friday Night Lights lays out the racism and classism at the core of high school football and that's just in Texas and James Michener brought up these sorts of issues of societal opportunity cost/health cost/monetary benefit…
