Don't know who Earl Scruggs is? Who could possibly not?

With Lester Flatt (God rest his soul), Paul Warren, Curly Seckler and Josh Graves, the Randy Lynn Rag:

Do you yodel? 'Cause that would be way cool!

Did you ever consider staying in Switzerland and working as a teacher there?

Schoolgal,

Actually, I almost joined a disco band, but ended up becoming a teacher here.

Prof,

I don't think you read the whole post, as I've got the Randy Lynn Rag right at the bottom. It's really incredible to see those guys. I like Paul Warren, but I love Benny Martin.

I remember Earl Scruggs from seeing him and Lester Flatt on the Beverly Hillbillies. I think they played that theme song too.

Well, Earl played, but they got another singer to do the vocal on the show. I also think Earl wrote the music, but the show's producer took credit for it.

in theory the lead teacher program makes sense. but when your lead teacher is buddy-buddy with your principal and doesn't know how to be a great math teacher herself with her 15 periods a week, our math department doesn't grow much

Our lead teacher is a nice woman, but I don't think she does a good job. I think she got the job because they wanted to reward the amount of time she'd spent in the system, not her skills as a leader and teacher.
