Teachers Union Head Seeks to Become Tin Pot Dictator
2008-07-20 07:52:00
-By Warner Todd Huston Randi Weingarten has delusions of grandeur. She thinks she should be given the power of a dictator instead of those of a teachers union president. Instead of just teaching kids, Weingarten imagines that she should become doctor, nanny, nutritionist, psychologist, and mother to every kid in America. She imagines that she ...
Teachers Unions Succeed in Ending Scholarships
2008-06-22 07:28:00
-By Warner Todd Huston One would assume that everyone wants to see that our kids get the best education possible. I mean, who could possibly be against kids getting the best opportunities? Well, apparently the one entity that you’d expect to really care about kids is the one standing in the way of their education: teachers. ...
Abraham on Homosexuals as Teachers of Allowing

“As you understand that you are a body of teachers coming forth having different experiences that you may culminate in gatherings like this to offer your differences to the greater knowing then you start to get the sense of what your unique experience offers to the greater understanding. It has been our observation and it ...
Undercover Teachers To Track Gang Members Online
2008-06-10 11:33:00
Not so long ago before the internet, gang members hung out on the street corners and bragged about their exploits to other gang members and those they were trying to get to join the gang. Today, however, all the mischievous activities, crimes, and more are written up on social networking sights for all to see. Gang members seem to be proud of their activities and often make it it open by describing and commenting on social network sites off all types. (more…) Copyright © 2008 Spy Review.

My Teachers Part 11: Exchange at the DKDM
2008-06-03 13:44:00
As a part of my Sibelius Academy studies I did a short student exchange in Copenhagen in 2005, at the Royal Danish Academy of Music (Det kongelige danske musikkonservatorium, DKDM for short). My teacher there was Frans Rasmussen, seen conducting in the video clip above. He is a great fellow and really an intelligent and supportive teacher, and I...

My Teachers Part 10: The Choral Experience
2008-06-02 18:03:00
I also wanted to take a choral conducting course while in the Sibelius Academy, since in my opinion you really need to try your hand on this instrument if you want to conduct opera. Choral singers have a totally different mind-set than the orchestral players and thus you need a different set of tools if you are to make the best out of them. In...

My Teachers Part 9: The Band Experience
2008-06-02 17:33:00
At the Sibelius Academy I took a course of wind orchestra conducting, which was led by the Finnish horn player and conductor Kalervo Kulmala. We were also taught by Elias Seppälä, Kari Tikka and Pertti Pekkanen, among others. Pekkanen left a particularly good impression as a teacher, because he did not hesitate to show the students a beautiful... Read My Teachers Part 9: The Band Experience
Teachers Abandon Kids Over Contract Negotiations
2008-06-01 00:00:00
-By Warner Todd Huston Showing once again that the kids don’t matter a hill of beans to union members, a “sickout” was staged in one of Denver, Colorado’s schools forcing school administrators to scramble to fill 16 classes where teachers suddenly called in sick, refusing to go to work. Strikes that interrupt the student’s education are ...
Indian Spiritual Teachers in the Last 150 Years
2008-05-31 07:05:00
Just as saints in the West have inspired countless people with their search for God and service to humanity, so similarly great spiritual figures in India have always played a pivotal role in revitalizing the spirituality of that ancient country. In former times information about these spiritual figures was passed down anecdotally from generation to ...

My Teachers Part 7: Piotr Gribanov
2008-05-27 21:41:00
Piotr Gribanov had a big influence on my conducting although I took just one masterclass and a few private lessons with him. He also was the person to give me my first concert with a professional orchestra - the St Petersburg Congress Orchestra which he was heading at that time. My program was huge and the main number was the symphonic poem... Read My Teachers Part 7: Piotr Gribanov
My Teachers Part 6: Leonid Korchmar
2008-05-26 17:04:00
When I was about to finish my violoncello studies in Helsinki I made a trip to St Petersburg, Russia, and met professor Leonid Korchmar there. Our coincidental meeting resulted in nearly four incredible years of intensive study of symphonic and operatic conducting at the St Petersburg "Rimsky-Korsakov" State Conservatory. Before that...

My Teachers Part 5: Pekka Helasvuo
2008-05-26 16:06:00
During my violoncello studies at the Helsinki Conservatory I also took one term of "Ensemble and Orchestra Conducting" which was taught by Pekka Helasvuo. He introduced all of his students to the Saito Conducting Method, which impressed me greatly at the time. It was the first time I met a systematic approach to conducting technique!...

My Teachers Part 4: Atso Almila
2008-05-26 14:52:00
Composer-conductor Atso Almila was one of my early influences. He taught an open conducting class at the Sibelius Academy called "Sandbox", which basically was a playground for anyone interested in conducting. You just took your own instrument with you or sat behind one of the pianos and participated in the orchestra that way and you... Read My Teachers Part 4: Atso Almila
My Teachers Part 3: Jorma Panula
2008-05-24 23:32:00
Very soon after taking serious interest in conducting I started to work with Jorma Panula who has been behind most Finnish conductors of today. I took several masterclasses with him in addition to his regular classes as visiting professor at the Sibelius Academy. I even played a couple of concerts under his direction as a cellist! I admired him... Read My Teachers Part 3: Jorma Panula
My Teachers Part 2: Paul Niemistö
2008-05-24 10:24:00
My second Murikka band camp conducting course was led by the American brass music enthusiast Paul Niemistö. I mostly remember his beautiful soprano voice when he was singing some high woodwind parts, and the fact that he liked a beating pattern system where all the beats occur at the same point - which I had to unlearn later... It was... Read My Teachers Part 2: Paul Niemistö
My Teachers Part 1: Hannu Norjanen
2008-05-23 17:40:00
The whole conducting thing for me started kind of by accident. As I mentioned earlier it all started on a band camp where we were given a chance to take a conducting course for free. I was very lucky to have Hannu Norjanen as my first teacher. He laid very good foundations for me and encouraged me to study further. At that time Hannu was... Read My Teachers Part 1: Hannu Norjanen
UK Teachers To Monitor Gang Activity Online

Indian B-School teachers lack basic awareness
2008-05-21 11:26:00
This may come as a shocker to you, but nearly 90% of the faculties imparting business programs at Indian B-Schools are not aware of the basic facts about the national and the global economy such as GDP growth rate numbers. If this is what is the intellectual plight of MBA teachers, think about the level of knowledge our MBA students will have. While Indian business institutes are increasingly getting popular internationally, this revelation by ASSOCHAM Business Barometer (ABB) Survey comes as a shocker ! The ASSOCHAM Study on “Faculty Awareness” surveyed 258 faculty members (except top 30 B-schools) of various institutes imparting Masters in Business Administration (MBA) across the country. Here are some of the highlights of the survey carried out by ASSOCHAM Business Barometer: As many as 89 per cent of the teachers were unable to tell the GDP growth rate scaled by the Indian economy in the financial year 2006-07. Hardly 6 per cent of the lecturers surveyed r...

Glamour Teachers Wanted
2008-05-15 04:09:00
We recorded the latest episode of the SeoulPodcast last night with the director of ESL-Planet recruiting.  If anyone has scanned the board at ESL Cafe, you’d know him as the one who posts the ads that say stuff like “Ugly Teachers Wanted” in response to schools whose only requirement when they called him was that the teachers looked attractive.  Here are a couple of examples: POP STARS REJECTED!!!!!

My Favorite Teachers
2008-05-04 02:42:00
They say that math and music go hand and hand, so it is no wonder that my favorite teachers were my high school math teacher and a music professor at MIT. This photo was from my senior year in high school in the computer room. I'm sitting at a teletype terminal for you young'uns who've never seen such a thing, probably programming in Pascal. In high school, I excelled in math and I loved having a teacher that was exciting, fun and a bit cocky. He would make jokes all the time and wear tailored shirts and tight jeans for the girls. At the end of the year, I wrote him a letter, expressing my appreciation for all that he brought to the class . I knew it would be something that I would be terribly embarrassed about in the future, but I did it anyway. I gave it to him at the beginning of our final exam (AP Calculus BC) and watched him read it as I tried to pay attention to the exam. I wrote about all the things that went on behind his back in class and the skinny on all the stu...
