teachers

There are some Albany area school districts where the teachers are paid pretty well.

Teacher appreciation week is here!  For all you Teachers out there, here are some special deals just for you!

Sometimes I have to be honest, I think what in the world has happened to society. The news is full of horrible stories about horrible people doing horrible things. That's why I just love a story about someone who cares about others and goes out of their way to help another person out. We had an amazing example of that today on the Sean and Richie Show.

The "Daily Dilemma" on the Sean and Richie Show is featured every weekday morning at 6:40am. We and the listeners take on someone's problems and try to offer different perspectives. Now, these don't have to be huge problems- it could just be something bothering you or a friend, or it could be some little thing you and another just can't agree on. If you have a dilemma to share we'd love

I had a stint as a Social Studies teacher  for 5 years on Eastern Long Island.  I had to prepare 3 lesson plans a night. Never worked that hard in my life.  This service would have certainly made life easier, but hold on a minute here

Last week I featured a video of a UAlbany Grad doing the Ellen Dance Dare in New York City. Today I found a video which is very much in the same vein as that one.

I read our news director, Casey Danton's blog today .  Not knocking you, Casey - you're just reporting the news. But once again the microscope seems to be on the schoolteacher and test results.   Sorry - don't totally agree. Do you?

New York - After two years of tense negotiations between state officials and union leaders, an agreement over how New York teachers will be evaluated has been reached.

New York State has made some progress.  Out of the 50 states and the District of Columbia, New York ranked 13th, according to a report by the National Council on Teacher Quality.

New York- Despite financial constraints and cutbacks, top staff at the New York State United Teachers, the largest union in the state representing teachers, received generous annual salary increases.

When I was in middle and high school, I remember coming home and saying to my parents, "it's not my fault I'm not doing well in that class.  The teacher stinks and so does their teaching!"
