5. The English teacher has been teaching for 2 years.
6. Mr. Stein and Ms. Nova started working one year apart from each other.
Answer
1. Mr. Bein collects art, but doesn't teach the class. (Therefore, Mr. Bein is not the Art teacher.)2. Ms. Burger has been teaching for more than 5 years. (Which means she had been working for 8 years, the only choice higher than 5.)
3. The teachers are: Mr. Stein, the Art teacher, the English teacher, and Mr. Bein. (Neither Mr. Stein nor Mr. Bein is the Art teacher or the English teacher.)
4. Mr. Stein confuses his students everyday with his long explanations and calculations. (Which Math teachers usually do. So Mr Stein is the Math teacher and Mr. Bein is the History teacher.)
5. The English teacher has been teaching for 2 years. (Ms. Burger is not the English teacher, but the Art teacher. Ms. Nova is the English teacher.)
6. Mr. Stein and Ms. Nova started working one year apart from each other. (Ms. Nova, the English teacher, has been teaching for 2 years, so Mr. Stein has been working for 1 year, and Mr. Bein for 5.)
Mr. Stein/Math/1 year
Ms. Nova/English/2 years
Mr. Bein/History/5 years
Ms. Burger/Art/8 years

um, yea.
um.. next time try something more difficult...
How do we know that long explanations and calculations aren't used in the history class? Well, other than that part, I liked it.
I liked it. It was a very common sense/logical question
It was very easy but fun,nice for the newer players to logic grids
Lots of fun and good clues!
Easy but enjoyable just the same.
Great job! Keep challenging yourself!
that was easy, but lots of fun!
You needed more infor History was never in the clues
To differ totally from angel 103, there is actually one clue too many in this teaser. The first clue about Mr. Bein not teaching art is duplicated in the third clue. As it is, we also find out exactly what Mr. Stein is after we have ruled out two possibilities before.
That being said, I like the explanations in the solution which make this an excellent beginning logic puzzle.

I got it!!! After 5 ties, I think I'm getting the hang of this
I meant tries*
Me to! but it is hard to figure how long they have been teaching.
Easy Easy Easy
I loved it, even though I've been doing teasers for years (I was a nerdy little kid ) It was easy, but fun. I especially like the way you took the time to explain how you arrived at the answer. It forces me to think through how I go to the answer. Okey-dokey, sorry for the long comment. Shutting up...
