Education

My daughter graduated from Canyon Ridge High School in Twin Falls and was greatly impacted by her theater instructor Mr. Isaacs. She raved about him constantly, and I know still holds a special place in her heart for him now three years after she moved on.

We spent a couple of weeks on the subject, and our parents had to sign consent forms. I'm not sure that sitting through a sex education course at that age leaves a lasting impression on a 12 or 13-year-old kid, but my parents were all for it.

For decades, teaching has required a certification that can take months to earn, followed by supervised, classroom volunteer hours which can make life rough on some who need to make a living. I heard that young adults that are pursuing educational degrees are being asked to take over classrooms right now because of the shortage.

Dinosaur poop, known more commonly as coprolite, is collected by enthusiasts all across the world.

School staff used to leave a stack of chocolate milk right outside the classroom door. There were ways we as students could earn an extra one during assignments.

It's strange to think of an existence that doesn't include on-campus learning, but it appears to be the direction the world is headed. Would you support Idaho teachers who refuse to instruct in a classroom setting?

Idahoans will be happy to learn they placed lower (better) on the list than California, if nothing else.

This year's event will feature hemp wares, food, men with beards playing the guitar, kid's activities, guest speakers and several vendors.

A rather historic scientific achievement will be unfolding in a matter of just a few days, as Nasa will be launching an unmanned aerial vehicle from the rover that recently touched down on the red planet.

If you enjoy learning about our amazing planet and the various forms of life that can be found beneath the waters throughout Earth, there is an event being put on by the CSI Fine Arts Building on March 31 you might want to check out, and you can do so from the comfort of your own home.

If you or someone you know is looking to expand your horizons and pursue a new career in cosmetology, the Twin Falls Paul Mitchell beauty school is now enrolling for all classes.

A new state website has gone live that is a tool for Idaho families who wish to apply for financial assistance to help with classroom related materials.
