School

It will now be illegal to light up a cigarette while waiting for your kids to get on a bus in Augusta. That was the outcome of a vote Thursday night from the Augusta City Council. City Councilor Dan Emery proposed the change after he received an email from parents of two children affected by an adult smoking at their bus stop.

It's always nice to see kids doing something to raise awareness or money to help their fellow man. Apparently, one school in Bedforshire, England doesn't feel the same way.

Believe me, I know Maine has winter weather enthusiasts who can't wait for the big snows to come. I use to be one! Still would be if winters weren't so unpredictable. I used to go snowmobiling every chance I got but then, with thousands of dollars wrapped up in snowmobiles and accessories, the snow just didn't come enough to justify the expense. So now, I'm just another Mainer who tolerates the we

Everyone loves a good snow day, but that's nothing compared to a vicious onslaught of man-eating crocodiles.

So your kids are back in school, which is great for you, considering you now have some peace and quiet around the house. You've bought them new pens and notebooks, and sent them on their way. Here's hoping that this year is a great one! You're sure your kids will excel in school this year, and the best way to make sure that'll happen is by attending Parent-Teacher Night. Unfortunately, this is ext

My journey in radio started 20 years ago this month in Saint John, New Brunswick Canada. It was a one year course at The Atlantic Broadcast Centre. Made a lot of friends, drank a lot of Labatt’s and maybe learned a thing or two about radio broadcasting.

Teenagers attending hundreds of schools across Britain are now being watched by Big Brother every time they use the toilet.

It is a given that college graduates make more money. In fact, according to a new OECD study the average college graduate in America earns over $20,000 a year more than their counterparts without a degree, making the United States one of the best countries in the world to have completed college. But it turns out there are even more benefits to college.

I found this list on the Internet about 49 Things That You Learned In School That Are Now Useless, and I must disagree! With the exception of leaning the Macarena, I think most of this stuff is needed or just fun to know. Number one on the list we have talked about a few times on the 92 Moose Morning Show.

This morning, Monday September 10, at a school assembly at the Bruce M. Whittier Middle School in Poland, Shannon Shanning was surprised with the announcement that she has been named the 2013 Maine Teacher of the Year by the Maine Department of Education.

There has been a fair amount of talk recently about giving students more non traditional options for school. Sometimes that's because children have been sick, live in a remote area or for some, the school environment just does not help them thrive.  Like everything there is not one best answer.  But, it is nice to have options.

The school buses are running again, and the kids are out of the house. Finally. With the end of the far-too-long summer break, this return to school days can leave you with a little extra time on your hands during the day, right? Well, maybe not too much, but your daily schedule should ease up a bit, so now what do you do? You get back on the Internet, that’s what.

There are many dangers that can come from being an overweight or obese teenager, including the risk of developing chronic conditions like heart disease, Type-2 diabetes and stroke. However, new research indicates that teens suffering from obesity might be at risk for acquiring more than just poor health, but lower school grades as well.

Some parents are under the illusion that just because they give their little curtain climbers juice instead of bouncing them off the walls with soda that they are somehow providing them with a lesser evil.

HEY, THANK YOU !  A few weeks ago at Kaplan University at the beautiful new location in the Marketplace @ Augusta 92 Moose did a broadcast to welcome Kaplan to the Augusta area AND to help out some kids in central Maine at back to school time with "Cram the Van".  Thank you to everyone who donated and thank you Kaplan for the generous donation of school supplies.

A THREE year old little boy and his family are being asked to change his sign language name because the Grand Island, Nebraska  school deparment feels the gesture,  that uniquely means "Hunter Spanjer," violates a rule that forbids anything in the school that looks like a weapon. Yes, they want the family to change the name of their child.
