For the most part, conflicts are solved in an appropriate manner but one thing I would like to change is the attention placed on the maintenance, especially the bathrooms.

I have had maybe three teachers out of the fifty total that were truly heinous, but I expect that to be true no matter where you go. If I could change one thing about Midway, I would change the racial diversity of both students and staff. I would guess less than 25% of the students and staff are people of color. This is not an awful statistic, but I feel like the school could benefit being more racially even. The teachers do a wonderful job of making sure students feel comfortable and adequate in their academics, and you can tell they truly want students to succeed. Midway is a wonderful school, and I’ve had great experiences in my time there. Its students are pushed to achieve their academic potential, and I believe they will truly appreciate it in the future….

The only problem with Lorena, which isn’t really their fault, is that the school district isn’t very diverse. And with this, it is hard for students to adjust and learn the importance of all cultures and it kind of keeps the students in a bubble. They are so used to the same people, thoughts, and opinions that out in the real world after high school, it is very different. Overall I believe that LISD is a great place, and would recommend it for a great learning experience…. Read 27 reviews

Our teachers care about us and our education. We can go to them if we have problems with the curriculum or really anything we might be dealing with.

This is highly important to me because if the student doesn’t feel cared about then they probably won’t enjoy school.

History
The first home of Waco High School, or Central High School as it was then called, was on the Fourth lot street in the early 1880s. There were two buildings, one of which used to be an Episcopal church with a bell tower. It was the only public school building west of Brazos. In 1886-1887 it was replaced by a brick one, and in 1911, around Thanksgiving, the new building on Columbus Avenue was ready for occupancy. Since then, wings have been added to it and a building has been built as an auditorium and a gymnasium. The old Baker residence across the street was purchased in 1942 for the use of bands and bands.
In the 1970s, he moved to a new location on the corner of North 19 and College Drive, which is now the campus of McLennan Community College.
Waco High was merged with Jefferson Moore High School and Richfield High School in 1986. The new school on the former Richfield campus on North 42nd Street used the name Waco High, but incorporated aspects of the other two schools into its identity. The lion mascot was taken from Jefferson Moor and the school colors (scarlet, white and grey) from Richfield.
As a result of the merger, Waco High was classified as a UIL 5A school. It dropped to the second largest class 4A in 2006 (class 4A was renamed class 5A as of autumn 2014).

In the spring of 1942, the Waco school board voted abruptly and unanimously to fire Tyson after an 8-to-2 season, two years before he took the Tigers to the state finals. Tyson, a lifelong bachelor who never dated, was rumored to be “too close” to his players. [11]

tanks, children and a mad prophet and kill as many FBI agents as possible. The prophet was able to correctly interpret the Bible, founded a completely voluntary community of believers and tried to save their immortal souls; then the FBI came, began to poison everyone with gas, and then wound them on the tracks of tanks, shot them and burned them. These are two interpretations of the same story – the confrontation between the followers of the religious teachings of the “Branch of David” and the US authorities, which resulted in the death of 86 people.
The battle for “Mount Carmel” – the name of the cultists’ hideout – was a milestone in US history, highlighted the problems of rampant state violence and even inspired the largest terrorist attack of the 20th century. Lenta.ru recalled the spiritual life and terrible death of the Branch of David.
“And I heard a loud voice from the temple, saying to the seven angels: Go and pour out the seven bowls of God’s wrath on the earth.”
New Testament, Revelation of John the Theologian (Apocalypse) 16:1“If the Bible does not lie, I am the Christ,” preacher David Koresh, born Vernon Wayne Howell, told his followers. He was born on August 17, 1959, he was born by a 14-year-old girl. Father by that time met another minor and went to live with her, and David’s mother got along with an alcoholic who beat her. The childhood of the future messiah turned out to be difficult: when the boy was four years old, his mother gave him to the care of his grandmother and returned to him three years later.
David had few friends, he suffered from dyslexia, could not study normally: he was expelled from school. According to some reports, at the age of eight, he was raped by a group of peers.
As a young man, David showed two of his main qualities – voluptuousness (he had an intimate relationship with a 15-year-old girl, because of which she became pregnant) and religiosity: Koresh first joined the Southern Baptist Convention, and then became a Seventh-day Adventist . The man fell in love with the pastor’s daughter and prayed that the Lord would show him what to do. After praying and opening his eyes, he saw the Bible opened on the Book of the prophet Isaiah: “Search in the book of the Lord and read; none of these will fail to come, and one will not be replaced by another. For His own mouth has commanded, and His very spirit shall gather them.”
He understood: the Lord tells him to ask for the hand of a girl he likes from her father. The pastor did not appreciate the impulse of Koresh (or God) and simply threw the young man out of the church.
But he persisted, and then he was expelled from the community. In 1982, David moved to Waco, Texas and joined the Branch Davidians, a sect that split from the Adventists. By this time, he already knew the Holy Scriptures by heart.
Bulgarian prophet
In 1929 Viktor Khutev, an immigrant from Bulgaria and a teacher in one of the Adventist Sabbath schools, stunned the flock with an unusual message: he had a new message from the Lord to all parishioners. It is set out in the book “The Shepherd’s Rod: 144 thousand – a call to the Reformation.” Khutev set himself two goals: to reform the church and to determine which 144,000 chosen ones are spoken of in the Book of Revelation in the Bible. He was expelled from the community, his ideas were criticized by the church fathers, but the man himself, who declared himself a prophet, did not renounce his beliefs and gained supporters.
In 1934 he finally renounced the Adventists and organized his own church. The parishioners called it “The Shepherd’s Rod”.
At the same time, the organization acquired a plot of land near the Texas city of Waco, building several buildings and a farm there. They named their new home “Mount Carmel” after the Carmel mountain range, where the prophet Elijah again convinced the people of Israel to believe in God. Khutev’s popularity grew, and several thousand people came to Waco. By the mid-1950s, there were about 100 thousand followers of the teaching in the world. At 19Khutev died suddenly on the 55th, and his widow Florence took the helm of the organization. Followers entered into a power struggle.
A few months later, one of the parishioners, Benjamin Rodin, declared that God spoke to him and assured him that it was Rodin who should become the new head of the church. Florence, the widow of the patriarch, did not agree with him. She issued a prophecy: the end of the world would come between November 1955 and April 22, 1959. According to her, her late husband spoke about this, but the woman did not provide any evidence.
Rodin rejected her prophecy and, with his supporters, created his own church – the “Branch of David”. Formally, their teaching was different: the followers of Rodin considered the Holy Spirit to be feminine and demanded to celebrate church holidays.
April 22, 1959, nothing happened. Adventists began to become disillusioned with Florence, many of them decided to leave and return to their roots, distributing the original literature of Viktor Khutev. The supporters of pure “hootivism” who left for California will survive to this day. Florence, meanwhile, dissolves the organization, she and her top associates take the remaining money for personal use. Most of the Mount Carmel premises are being sold, but 31 hectares of land remain with the Branch Davidian, led by Rodin. At 19On the 78th he dies, power briefly passes to his 65-year-old widow Louis.
Brotherly feud
In 1982, when Louis was firmly in power, David Koresh, who had just moved from Houston, joined the Branch Davidian.
He manages to charm an elderly woman: he enters into a sexual relationship with her. According to him, everything is not just like that: the Lord chose him and ordered him to help her conceive a child who is destined to become the Chosen One. In 1983, Louis allows David to preach his own doctrine. This influence of the new upstart is dissatisfied with her eldest son, a descendant of the founder of the sect – domineering George. The man believes that it is he who should become the next leader of the “Branch of David”.
George gathers supporters and expels Koresh – he retreats literally at gunpoint. He and 25 of his followers leave for the Texas city of Palestine. There they live in tents under the scorching sun: Koresh continues to preach, and he is joined by new supporters from the US and other countries. He travels to Israel, where he has a vision: he is the modern king Cyrus the Great, and he must build the Kingdom of God in Palestine.

At 19On the 86th, Louis dies, and her son George, who once kicked Koresh out of Mount Carmel, is at the head of the Branch of David. He is unpopular: more and more of his followers go to the charismatic David. George Roden is furious and challenges Koresh by offering to compete in the resurrection of the dead and even digging up the corpse from the grave. David, in response, goes to the police and complains about Rodin, accusing him of desecrating the burial. At the station, he is required to provide evidence, and he returns to Mount Carmel with seven armed supporters. Officially – in order to find evidence. However, the cultists take 7 rifles, 2 shotguns and 14 rounds of ammunition with them, but do not take a camera.
Roden finds them at Mount Carmel and a gunfight breaks out. The arriving police apprehend Koresh and his followers, accusing them of attempted murder. But everyone is justified, the groups continue to live separately. In 1989, one of Rodin’s fans declares to his guru that it is he, and not Rodin, who is the real messiah.
He decides the issue with a blow to the head with an ax and is sent to an isolation ward for mentally ill criminals. It turns out that George Roden is bankrupt, and Mount Carmel is put up for auction. Koresh and his followers collect money and buy him back for themselves. There they find a methamphetamine laboratory and immediately notify the police, demanding that it be dismantled.
Messiah David
The Branch Davidians settle in Mount Carmel, not knowing that the huge house is destined to become their mass grave. In 1990, Koresh reconsiders his views: he understands that he is destined to build the Kingdom of God on Earth not in Palestine, but in the USA. At the time, his official name is still Vernon Wayne Howell, and he files for a name change to officially become David Koresh. The name David was supposed to symbolize that he is a descendant of the biblical king David, from whose family the messiah should come out, and Koresh (کوروش) is the name of the Persian king Cyrus the Great, who freed the Jews from imprisonment in Babylon.
Koresh teaches followers that he is the new messiah, but not like all the previous ones, but a sinner. “The Lord allows a person to be born in sin. To sin is natural for a person, ”he preaches and insists that a person is not able to live without sin, like Christ. David arranges many hours of daily religious lessons for his followers, they believe him. He claims to be able to open the Seven Seals from the book of the apocalypse and arrange the end of the world.
Koresh decides what to wear, what to eat and how to look like his followers: for example, he forbids women to use cosmetics. One day, he orders that all fruits be abandoned except for bananas. Then he allows you to eat fruits, but not oranges along with grapes. No one can eat meat, but Koresh can. No one can drink Coca-Cola, but Koresh can. Nobody can drink beer. Koresh – you can. “Everything he wanted, over time, God took and allowed him,” said Mark Breo, one of the former followers of the Branch Davidian.
Koresh preaching
Over time, the self-proclaimed messiah comes up with a new theory.
He quotes the Song of Songs of Solomon: “Sixty queens in the palace, eighty concubines, and girls are countless” – and teaches that so many women should be with him. He is destined to give birth to many children who will rule the whole world with him. Koresh begins to seduce lonely parishioners, promising them his divine seed and the right to give birth to the heir of the messiah. All this, of course, is carried out according to God’s command.
Parents, followers of the Branch of David, were happy to give their daughters to Koresh. “She was 12 years old, she thought he wanted to go to bed with her to keep warm. When he tried to take off her panties, she tried to block it. She kicked, but he continued – he said that the Lord was instructing him. It all sounds strange, but you get used to it over time, ”said Robin Bunds, one of David’s first “wives”. As a result, the girl gave birth to a child, and in the birth certificate in the column “father” there was a dash.
Newborns began to appear at Mount Carmel, and Koresh advised women to leave for their families and return with their children so as not to attract the attention of the authorities with a sharp increase in strange birth certificates.
Over time, Koresh announced that all male followers would find a mate in heaven, and all women from now on belong to him. Someone opposed the innovation and left, but the majority meekly accepted it. The children also got it (both those who were born “thanks” to Koresh, and those who were brought by their parents) – they were kept in strictness and beaten for the slightest disobedience. Koresh himself spanked them with wooden sticks until they bled.
David Koresh’s influence remains a mystery – he did not hypnotize his followers, did not deprive them of their minds, they were not in a frenzy during his speeches and did not lose their minds and speechlessness. He skillfully operated with quotations from the Holy Scriptures, successfully substantiating all his desires with them. Koresh didn’t lock up supporters at Mount Carmel, anyone could leave. But why? Since Messiah David Koresh came to earth, it means that the Last Judgment will soon be, and only his supporters will be saved, having gone to heaven.
And Babylon – the US authorities – will try to attack the “Branch of David”, but will suffer a terrible defeat.
Babylon’s Sneaky Strike
In May 1992, a UPS courier was delivering a package to Mount Carmel. Suddenly something black fell out of the open seams of the box. The man took a closer look – gunpowder. When he handed it over to the addressee, he drew attention to the contents: there were shells for grenades and weapons inside. He told the police about what happened, they reported to the ATF – the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives. ATF agents had received complaints that gunshots were heard frequently at Mount Carmel before and decided to open an investigation. First, they came to a gunsmith who supplied pistols and machine guns to sectarians: he suggested that the agents talk to Koresh himself on the phone – the newly-minted messiah was ready to let them into the house, show the arsenal and documents for him. The feds refused.
In front of the sectarians’ house, they placed two “college students” – agents of 30 years old – who arrived in brand new cars and did not even try to give the impression that they needed to study.
One of the ATF employees came to live at the “Branch of David” – Koresh instantly realized who was in front of him, but let the man in and did not say anything to him.
For sectarians, weapons were indeed an important part of life: in Texas, almost everyone has their own “trunks”, especially among Koresh’s followers there were licensed firearms dealers. They regularly went to fairs and shooting ranges and earned huge money for the community, and therefore they were especially careful about the documents for their goods. In addition, David himself taught his followers to shoot and argued that weapons were needed to confront Babylon – the US authorities.
The ATF managed to get search warrants – first they tried to convince the judge that they had reason to believe Koresh and his men were gun makers. Then they also stated that they suspect the Branch of David in the manufacture of methamphetamine, although there was no objective evidence for this: the judge, however, granted their request.
On February 28, 1993, several dozen armed men in cattle wagons advanced towards Mount Carmel. They counted on the effect of surprise and completely failed: having learned about the upcoming raid, one of the local journalists arrived at the scene an hour earlier. He asked the postman where the big house of the sectarians was. The postman turned out to be a member of the Branch of David and immediately reported everything to Koresh. An ATF agent embedded there escaped from Mount Carmel. Returning to his own, he said that the sectarians knew about the upcoming assault, were preparing for defense and were praying, and therefore the invasion had to be cancelled. They didn’t listen to him.
Then the unthinkable happened: gunshots rang out. The agents claimed that the sectarians fired first. There are two more options: one of the agents accidentally pulled the trigger, or it was ATF employees who went to kill the dogs that lived in Mount Carmel. During the shootout, David Koresh was wounded in the very first minutes.
The agents surrounded the building, patrolling helicopters from above (the cultists claimed that the fire was also fired from them), the fighters tried to climb the ladders into the armory on the second floor, but received a powerful rebuff. A positional struggle ensued – it ended only when the ATF simply ran out of ammo and were forced to retreat. Koresh’s followers allowed them to take the bodies of their dead comrades. Four ATF agents and six Branch Davidians were killed.
Those who believed
After the failure of the assault, the authorities moved to a long-term siege. The case was transferred to the FBI, and from now on it was they who interacted with the Branch of David. They cut off telephone cables, and Koresh could only negotiate with journalists through FBI agents. At first, they seemed to be successful: David offered to leave Mount Carmel with his followers if his radio message with the teachings were broadcast on the radio. His demand was granted, but Koresh did not come out: according to him, the Lord demanded that he wait with surrender.

At David’s request, a camera was handed over and he recorded a video message on behalf of the community: everyone said they were in the complex voluntarily. Koresh posed with his many children and promised that he would not let them offend. The FBI upped the ante and decided to drive the cultists crazy. Loud music, Nancy Sinatra songs and the screams of rabbits being slaughtered alive were broadcast through the loudspeakers for days on end. “They tried to deprive people of sleep, they tried to make a person who was already considered mentally unstable, completely crazy. And then they were still surprised that he started doing something strange, ”said the lawyer of one of Koresh’s followers. David released some of the children and women, they were separated and arrested.
Video recordings of the “Branches of David”
Psychologists advised the FBI to change tactics – in their opinion, the sectarians sincerely believed in their teaching, and therefore the long-term siege was perceived by them as a confrontation with Babylon and the fulfillment of Koresh’s prophecy.
They were not listened to. The agents told the Attorney General that the children who came out of Mount Carmel had been sexually abused for a long time, and therefore action had to be taken. Permission to attack was received.
Death through fire
On April 19, 1993, a very strong wind arose in the Waco area – gusts reached 56 kilometers per hour. On this day, the FBI agents went on the assault. They drove an armored car with a special weapon to the walls of the house, which made it possible to break through the wall and spray tear gas inside the building with a powerful jet. From the loudspeakers the phrases were carried: “This is not an assault. The gas will make the premises uninhabitable for some time. Come out with your hands up.” The FBI was ordered not to open fire, but to respond to the shots only by increasing the gas supply. Subsequently, it became known that the agents still fired several times from automatic weapons.
Having learned about the gas attack, the sectarians rushed to take apart the gas masks.
There were no children: the faces of boys and girls were covered with wet rags and towels. Over time, the masks failed: people lost consciousness, choked on vomit. The women and children were taken to a kitchen converted from an underground bunker, which was the most secure. Nevertheless, the agents drove the car there as well, spraying the inhabitants with a tear mixture to their heart’s content.

Meanwhile, an extremely dangerous situation was developing: FBI fire broke through the tanks with gasoline stored at the Branch of David. The second armored car broke through the back wall of the house – apparently, burying the unfortunate sectarian under the tracks – and thus provided excellent traction inside the building.
It is not known what caused the fire, but the fire broke out almost simultaneously in three places. Because of the broken walls and the strongest wind, it instantly spread throughout the house.
Some jumped out of windows, some preferred death, and some simply could not evacuate because they lost consciousness, were buried under the ruins, or were poisoned by cyanide generated due to the burning of tear gas. For many, the kitchen, converted from a bunker, became the last refuge – there was only one exit from it, which was cut off by fire from the rest of the premises. The officer in charge of the operation refused to let the fire brigades into the place: according to him, he could not allow the rescuers to fall under the bullets of the sectarians. Mount Carmel burned to the ground.

The FBI accused Koresh of having decided to fulfill his prophecy and, together with his henchmen, set fire to the house himself – there are wiretap results in the case. On the recordings, you can hear Koresh and his associates discussing where and how much kerosene should be poured: phrases like “let’s fire!”, “to light, you need kerosene to be everywhere” and “when can I light this thing?” Surviving sectarians claim that it was about making Molotov cocktails.
A total of 76 followers of Koresh died that day. The failed messiah himself was found with a bullet wound to the head – it is still unknown whether he committed suicide or asked someone close to shoot him.
Shameless impudence
An official investigation showed that the FBI acted correctly and the cultists set themselves on fire. Such conclusions in the United States, where people are given the right to protect themselves from illegal intrusion into their homes, caused a storm of anger – let Koresh, having sexual relations with underage girls, be guilty of rape – they formally came to him to seize weapons, and as a result staged a siege and bloody massacre, which killed dozens of people.
The tragic events near Waco inspired the largest terrorist attack in the US in the 20th century: 19April 1995 (on the second anniversary of the Mount Carmel attack) in Oklahoma City, homegrown terrorists blew up 168 people in a government facility. They said they were dissatisfied with the way the authorities had treated the Branch of David.
The Oklahoma City explosion caused a change in public opinion: six years after the events in Waco, 61 percent of Americans were sure that Mount Carmel had been set on fire by the FBI themselves. The cruelty of the authorities and the willingness to use force gave birth to many ultra-right militias, ready to defend their homes from the encroachment of the all-powerful “feds” – one can say that the consequences of the terrible confrontation at Mount Carmel are still felt by America.
7+ Top Athletic Training Schools in the USA (FAQ, Careers)
Top Athletic Training Schools: In the physical education profession, athletic training is one of the most in-demand specialties.
As a result, many colleges offer degrees, making it difficult to choose an institution.
If you want to find the best athletic training schools in the US, read this article to the end.

Who is a sports coach?
In sports medicine, a sports coach is a healthcare provider who works with athletes and professionals to help them avoid, diagnose, and treat injuries.
They use their extensive training and extensive knowledge to create treatment and rehabilitation plans that take into account not only the medical history of the person they are dealing with, but also their athletic goals.
Is sports coaching a good job?
Become a sports coach and you will have excellent chances of finding a job.
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that employment in this occupation will grow by 23% between 2016 and 2026, three times faster than the overall average.
Let’s look at it this way: Visiting a sports coach can help anyone who works in the field of physical activity, whether they are injured or not.
Athletes and professionals who want to preserve their careers and quality of life must focus on injury prevention. Therefore, prevention is a major concern for sports coaches.
Doctors and other healthcare professionals rely on them to keep their patients healthy.
However, they are also involved in clinical assessment and diagnosis, emergency care, and rehabilitation.
Athletic coaches are usually employed by organizations, not individuals, so they also ensure that the activities of the organization are beneficial to the health of its athletes or professional staff.
On the other hand, the average salary of sports coaches was 48,440 39$.810, more than the national average of $810.
From $38,000 to $82,000 per year depending on where you work and what company you work for, your level of experience also matters.
What is the difference between a sports coach and a personal trainer?
There is some ambiguity in the name because Athletic Trainers do not train athletes in the traditional sense of the word.
As a result, sports coaches are medical professionals who treat athletes and non-athletes equally.
Because most states require an ATC license before they can practice their profession, an ATC® certification requires a bachelor’s degree from a CAATE accredited program, a long time of clinical practice under the supervision of an ATC certified professional, and repeated demonstrations of excellence in more than 680 clinical skills.
Unlike health experts, personal trainers are fitness trained and NOT medically trained.
Their professional practice is little or very lightly regulated, and it is extremely easy to obtain a personal training certificate (some of them can be obtained in as little as a weekend course).
Sports trainers and personal trainers have only one thing in common: they both work with athletes. To become a personal trainer, you need to explore the kinesiology fitness studies option.
