Watch: Back To School Comedy

Clark County School District students and teachers will be heading back to school on Monday August 8th. There was always a little bit of excitement and a little bit of fear involved in heading back to school. Will you have any friends in your new class or classes? Will you like your teacher or teachers?

There was always a little excitement about wearing some new clothes or sneakers the first week of school.  That is, of course, unless it was the "outfit" your Mom made you wear. Then you would be in for an entire day of ridicule.

And what about the upper classmen or the bullies in your school. Before there was "cyber-bullying," we had to deal with the older kids in school or the big bully in your class who loved to steal your lunch money, knock the books out of your hand, and generally make life miserable for you. That was certainly something we did not look forward to in a new school year.

Let's relieve some of that fear and trepidation with some "Laugh Factory" comedy.

I love comedy. I really admire the talent of great stand-up comics.  I think what they do is incredible.  On the radio, I do what I do in a closed-door studio.  I never see the audience.  Stand-up comedians have to make people laugh while they are looking at them right in the eye.  It's do or die.  It takes guts, and great comedic chops.

So, I thought I'd share some great stand-up comedy with you every Monday.  Why?  Because it's Monday!!  Everyone could use a good laugh on Monday.  So, here we go with our next installment.  ( WARNING: Some of these comedians use foul language.)

One of the most important takeaways from education is that it helps individuals develop critical thinking skills. Personal growth comes from learning which intake helps with gaining more confidence, financial wealth and literary skills.

Nevada is an ever-growing city with a population of just over three million. More people are moving to Las Vegas to give their families a better life. With the American dream in mind, where does education fit into the equation? Education is important to families who want to offer the best for their children and generations to come.

EdWeek.org conducted a comprehensive analysis to find out where states rank in educational opportunities and performance. Their data was configured over three categories which included Chance for Success (January), School Finance (June) and K-12 Achievement (September). The overall grade is the average of the three separate scores.

Nevada finished 50 amongst all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The state scoring earned 68.6 out of 100 possible points. That is the equivalent of a D plus grade average. The country ranked at a C grade average. Find out more about their education research within each category.

Let's be honest, Nevada does not have a great education system ranking but that does not mean that all Vegas schools are bad. Vegas has the 5 largest school district in the United States with the Los Angeles Unified School District taking first place.

GreatSchools.org is a leading non-profit when it comes to research insights and parenting resources. The non-profit gives an insight on "school quality" based on a rating from one to 10. Top-rated schools are considered 10's. Ratings between one to four are looked at as below average. Ratings between five to six indicate average. Ratings seven to 10 are considered above average.

Let's see how Vegas high schools, public and private, are ranked from 10 to one.
