Art School in a Nutshell
I recently finished my freshman year of college at the Savannah College of Art and Design and it was quite an experience. Being an art school, many people think of all kind of different things when they hear the name. Well, I can tell you that a lot of them are true. I'm majoring in film and so are a lot of other people. But then there are all the other majors there, such as, illustration, animation, sequential art, performing arts, photography, fibers, and most surprisingly, equestrian studies.

How To Invest in Your Favorite Sports Team
You could hand over your money to a professional, and let him or her build you an investment portfolio to forget about. Or you could invest in some businesses and chains that you're familiar with, or that someone advised you to invest in—but frankly, that's not particularly interesting to most people. Not knowing the financial market can put many people off of investing, but this shouldn't be the case. If you want a more direct role in your finances, a real connection to the objects of your investments, you'll probably want to invest in things you know, love, and understand—and frankly, it's not very likely that even your favorite chain restaurant instills strong emotions in you. Investing in fine wine is fun, but not everyone is into that. So what fits that criteria? Well, for a significant proportion of the world's population, professional sports. Think about your relationship to your favorite sports teams—likely, you can talk about their season, predict successes, understand what particular wins, losses, trades and injuries mean for them overall. And that's just the kind of knowledge that helps make a good investor. So for the sports fans and soon-to-be investors out there, here's how to invest in your favorite sports teams—and no, before you ask, it's not by placing risky and addictive bets.

Teacher Shortage
I used to think that the teacher shortage was just another issue that people ignored, but after overlooking what has been causing it, I don’t think that we should ignore it anymore. I didn’t realize how bad it was until it affected my own school and many others. Now it’s affecting kids and staff. I can tell everyone right now that the teacher shortage is very REAL, and we need to resolve it. I can guarantee that I am not the only one thinking about the teacher shortage and working conditions. People throughout the world wonder why there is such a drastic shortage involving teaching jobs. However, not many people stop and think about what is causing it or what to do in order to fix it. It could help to understand the causes of why there are such fewer teachers in many schools. School districts are also struggling with shortages of teachers, particularly in many subjects. Men and women go to school everyday to learn and get a good education, although how is it possible without any instructions from an educator? So, what can we do? Schools look for teachers who have the time, the tools, and the trust they need to be most effective. So, they deserve to work in an environment that is more respectful and supportive to them in many ways. Sometimes it might be the reason why half of the new teacher population quit after at least five years into teaching. This kind of issue can affect every parent, child, school district, and community. States have responded quickly by developing and applying new motivation and training programs to attract more teachers to this profession. We believe there is an immense amount that we can all do to ensure more individuals see that this is the most critical and rewarding path they can take. Teachers always come and go throughout schools, but in recent years there are some new reasons for this change. There is no doubt that the main reason why schools do not have enough teachers can be that it deals with personal issues on their part. Ultimately, I believe that teachers in our society do not have jobs due to the lack of respect from students, low paying rates, and large classroom sizes that can be too much for a teacher to handle.
