There are no classes more popular for a good share of students in high school than history classes. And yet, there can be no more frustrating classes to teach or to attend than those same history classes. It is all a matter of time. Take United States history. When teachers in the Woodrow Wilson era taught that class, they had too much to teach. Imagine trying to teach it now. Some classes get to World War II if they are lucky and unless special attention is given to modern history, it sometimes isn’t even taught. That is why teachers have t...

September Horticulture Questions from Chouteau County Clientele • I didn’t get my pumpkins covered when we had our first frost. Should I throw them away?

If a prompt harvest isn’t possible, then hope for a week to 10 days of balmy weather with no further freezes. Harvest the pumpkins and squash at your earliest convenience. Frost blankets are highl...

Similar to most businesses the school expenses rise each year. We hope to have steady to increasing enrollment...
