John Eggers Column: Do you have someone to talk to? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Everyone needs someone to talk to. We live in stressful times. Today is a far cry from the days when we went over the river and through the woods to Grandma’s house for Thanksgiving dinner. Times have changed. Grandma and Grandpa may be in a nursing home, and the river may have dried up. Kids have issues. Adults have issues. I could have used a counselor or someone similar when I was in high school. I had a speech impediment and became known as a quiet boy. Even though I was heavily involved in
John Eggers Column: Be a teacher. You won't regret it. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here are some interesting facts about the teaching profession for you: What does all of this mean? If you are looking for a job, consider becoming a teacher. You will have a job that offers financial security, an extended summer vacation, excellent benefits and satisfaction beyond your imagination. I have to admit I envied the thousands of teachers who eagerly prepared their lessons for the start of school a few days ago.

August was a rather sad time of the year for me. Growing up in the 1950s, it was this time of the year when I knew summer was about to end. The water on both of the lakes in town, Lake Sakatah and Tetonka, turned pea soup green with a tinge of blue around the edges. The swimming beach would close with a sign that read something like “No lifeguard on duty.” The sounds of kids splashing one another, running on the dock and swimming out to the raft would soon just be echoes in my mind. Black-and-wh
John Eggers Column: Helping families equals helping schools (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As I look back on when my kids were in school, there were many things I wished I had done but didn’t. Had I done them, my kids would have found more success in school. Too often, we watch our kids get on the bus or get in their cars, or we drop them off at school, and think we have done our parental duty. We act as if the education of our children is the sole responsibility of professional educators. As any professional educator will tell you, nothing could be further from the truth. We continue
