US News and World Report released their annual Best High School rankings list earlier this week, and a Capital Region high school was the best from Upstate.

Happy snow days are here again! We received a little taste of the white stuff over the weekend and with more expected in the next few days, it's officially sledding season.  Bundle up, and find a new gem of a place to go sledding in the Capital Region.

The reasoning behind it is idiotic, the fact that they didn't think they'd get sued is just plain stupid and they did it anyway.

I lived with a single Mom so maybe I'm missing something with this but I read that the Troy City School District sponsored National Dads Take Your Kids to School Day, it confused me.

When they first came out, it seemed like electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) were the best of both worlds for smokers. They still could smoke but it was more accepted in public places without the smoke and smell. Now, another place is added to the list of where they're not allowed.

There are many great middle schools in the Capital Region. Are you, like me, not seeing your school on the list or does yours have bragging rights?

In a world where we've had to remove "under God" from our morning Pledge of Allegiance in schools, this news comes as quite a shock to some in the Capital Region. The question is are we for or against it?

I'll be honest, I expected more. I expected better. Maybe I think too highly of our area and our local schools? I'm not sure, but when this list of Top 25 high schools of upstate new york came out on newyorkupstate.com I was left scratching my head.

Hey New York, it looks like we're about to be the only station going tuition free! So how could this affect you? Well, the Excelsior Scholarship, as they're calling it states that if you're a family that makes under $125,000 a year (which, um, is a lot of us, no?) then your student could be heading to a 4-year college tuition free!

When it comes to President Donald J. Trump there are many people, saying many things both positive and negative about him, his views and the moves he's made so far in the White House. There have been comparisons for months (years even?) of him having similarities to Hitler. But, the last thing you expect is for that viewpoint to wind up coming from the teachers at your children's school in a class

Did you go to one of the 10 best schools for graduation rate in the Capital Region?

I'll be honest, I was never the best student growing up. You could say it's because I'm lazy or you could say it was because I just didn't care. However, if this was a college course when I was in school, perhaps I would have excelled.
