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.
Today is the first day of classes for Clark County School District teachers, students and staff. We all know what it's like to be a student on the first day of school. What is it like to be a teacher on the first day of classes? What is it like to be a teacher period?
We have all had teachers who challenged us. We have had teachers who we did not like. We have hopefully had teachers who inspired us. But, have you ever had a teacher who made you laugh a lot during class? Actually entertained you and made learning fun?
Well, here are a bunch of former teachers who became stand-up comics. They bring a lot of laughs to the comedy classroom. If you are currently a teacher, or if you have ever been a teacher, then you'll love some of these stories and comedy bits. Enjoy!

The Best Las Vegas High Schools Ranked 2022
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.
