Results of the survey of October 25, 2026
--------------------------------------
An alarming study, recently released, suggests that C.T.E. is not just lurking at the margins, an outlier outcome for the most risk-prone players — in fact, at least 25 percent of N.F.L. players might expect to have it. Researchers think the real figures are much higher. CTE is thought to result from repeated head impacts. Do you think the time will come when high school tackle football will be abolished?
Yes--------------------50%
No--------------------50%

"Tradition" |

Football participation is steadily declining among youth in our school district's feeder programs. Middle school participation is already declining and will eventually negatively impact high school programs. Note: LI perspective, not national. |
|
HS tackle football is the training ground for college and pro. It will never be abolished. If it were ever abolished, then it would just open the market for city and county leagues. The districts want the money they make from tackling football. |
|
If coaches followed safety rules more and stopped putting players right back in the game when they weren't ready, they should stop. As a former coach, I had fewer concussions years ago, as coaches now teach them tactics that are too dangerous to win a game. |
|
It is already happening. Flag football has become increasingly popular. We must protect our children from injuries that can be fatal. Had I known about CTE 20 years ago, I never would have permitted our younger son to play high school football. |

Fewer parents will allow children to play. This may be different in Texas |

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations. Click here to explore and contribute an article.
Also, consider the exciting learning opportunity offered through the Mentors.net AI Academy.
