I am interested in reaching out to retirees in Ohio, Brooke and Marshall counties regarding opportunities to tutor and mentor at WV Northern Community College. Our students could benefit from the expertise and experience of, what I believe to be, an untapped resource in our community - retired educators.
Tutoring and mentoring offer an opportunity to stay connected to education, the community and to engage socially, but on your own terms, in your own time.
WVNCC tutors and mentors are paid between $7.25 and $11.00 an hour and can virtually set their own schedules – working as few or as many hours as they are interested in working.
If you live in Ohio, Marshall or Brooke County and are interested in becoming a tutor or mentor - please contact Stephanie Smith at [email removed].

Ok so what are the whisperings about the new calendars. Up to this year we didn't have much of a choice. Curious how they will deal with the new guidelines.

How long did Mrs. Manchin teach in Marion County?
We all need to be very aware of the special sessions that Manchin is planning on calling shortly. The Senate is full of bully pulpit politicians trying to keep their names in the media. Besides Eric Wells, Jeff Kessler is also an example of a Senate member who has been in the news media recently spewing anti-teacher ramblings.

The Senate is full of bully pulpit politicians trying to keep their names in the media. Besides Eric Wells, Jeff Kessler is also an example of a Senate member who has been in the news media recently spewing anti-teacher ramblings.
We need to remember that the Senate places blame for the woes of education squarely on teachers, as if raising children in West Virginia is the responsibility of the teachers. They absolve parents, and the students, of any and all responsibility, while forgetting that teachers have been given a plethora of content standards that are nearly impossible to master if teachers taught 365 days a year. (Public - Google West Virginia Content Standards if you doubt this.) Fortunately, the House side sees responsibility for performance as being multi-facted, and to this point, has been able to stand firmly against Manchin's Senate puppets.
Remind your Senators that you are not pleased that they hold you (alone) responsible for the short-comings of students in West Virginia schools. You work far too hard to be told that you're not doing your job well enough and to be threatened with firings, PEIA increases, OPEB and retirement woes, etc.
Contact your Senators and tell that you will remember their bully tactics in the next election! Eric Wells and Manchin began this public mud-slinging and it's time we stood up for ourselves!
I refuse to be brow beaten anymore by the West Virginia Senate and Governor Manchin. How about you?
New press release, we have the 8th worst roads in the Country. Hmmm, is King Joe going to run to the Head of the Department of Highways and demand they fire all the state road workers?

Hmmm, is King Joe going to run to the Head of the Department of Highways and demand they fire all the state road workers? No, I'm sure he won't. but that’s what he wants Dr. Paine to do. Just a thought if we had better roads, maybe we could attract some jobs that college educated people wanted to do instead of supplying commuters on the Hillybilly Highway out of the state.
MOJO needs to stop his public attack on the State School System and start working with the teachers to work on change. Knowing several teachers, they are frustrated as he is and their hands are tied. There list of frustrations include kids missing massive amounts of days, lack of funding for basic needs (paper, pencils, etc), to students with IEP's getting by with everything and anything, unfunded mandates from the State and Federal governments, and not to mention the parents who don't have their kids ready to learn.
If the King of WV, would get off his soapbox for just a minute and listen to the Educators of the state he may find they are willing to work with him to really improve the problems of this state. But no I am sure he will not want to do that. You know if he was in school now and acted this way, he could almost be in violation of the State’s bullying policy, but I’m sure that wouldn’t happen as he is above the law.
One final thought, if he treated the state’s coal miners the same way he treats teachers, they would burn down Charleston. Joe instead of preaching, come down into the congregation!
But, I’m sure by the next press release the bad roads will be the Teachers faults too!
Where are all of these replacement teachers going to come from when we are all fired due to poor job performance? Most days subs cannot even be found for the current staff. If the media was to be believed, one would think that there is this massive group of amazing teachers being denied employment by "the system" and "unions". Just a thought.
