Kudos to Chichester High School math teacher John Cole who was recently profiled by Bette Alburger on Delaware County News Network regarding his 37 years as the school’s Delco Hi-Q coach.
He is the longest-serving faculty adviser in the academic competition’s 67-year history.
The competition was originally known as Scott Hi-Q as the Delaware County-based Scott Paper Company was its sponsor until it merged with Kimberly Clark Corp in 1997.
To go a bit off topic, if one googles Scott Plaza, the first hit concerns a multifamily housing community in Houston, Texas where Scott Street intersects with — cruel irony alert if you remember Alfred Dunlap and the downfall of Scott — Sunbeam Street.
Bette Alburger’s story on John Cole should be run in more papers than the Daily Times. Acutally anything Betty writes should be read by everybody. she is that good.
But, John Cole should be famous throughout America. He is sending young scholars down the right path.
I think every school and college in America should have an IQ Team.
There should be a professional IQ team in every city in America.
I have a gut feeling that IQ teams would be just as popular as sports teams.
John Cole could lead the way to a new popular way of entertainment that would put America back in the lead of education our young folks.
Go John Cole Go!
