Ole Miss trying to make a difference in the teacher shortage issue
SUMMARY: Mississippi is experiencing a severe teacher shortage, with around 2593 vacancies reported in the state at the start of the last school year. This shortage is attributed to fewer people going to college and negative attitudes towards teaching due to concerns about debt. The University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) is trying to address this issue through programs that support aspiring teachers financially and provide hands-on experience in schools. Students like Analise Bailey, pursuing a degree in education, are gaining valuable experience through fieldwork. Educators are hoping to inspire more people to consider a career in education and help reduce the teacher shortage in the state.
Education students at the University of Mississippi head out to local schools to begin student observation.

Nick's Friday PM Forecast 11/1
SUMMARY: Happy Friday, Pine Belt! November is here, and I hope you enjoyed Halloween—I certainly did with some candy. Recently, we received half an inch of rain after a three-week dry spell, with lingering showers in areas like Pike County. However, expect mostly cloudy skies with just a few sprinkles, so enjoy Friday Night Lights without worry. The tropics are also changing as hurricane season wraps up, with low pressure expected but unlikely to impact South Mississippi. Remember to prepare for earlier sunsets at 5 PM, but we should stay warm despite the shorter days. Enjoy your weekend!
