Invite parents in to help with the different competitions that your teams sign up for. They can help more than you know!

This will be my third time coaching but the first two times the kids organized it and this year I have organized it a lot more. We will have a full team this year! Mostly just have them study and start your builds early!

Can we deduct our WFH spaces this year from our taxes? Especially if we moved into an apartment with an extra room for a home office? Paying considerably more in rent just to have a place to separate from the chaos in the background.

Name the most ridiculous micro-managing by partners that you experience.

I’ll go first: MP told me that on initial emails, I am always to start with “Hello [name],” but after the initial email, I am not to address her by name again in the same thread. Initial greeting can only be “Hello [name] ” because just first name is too brisk and a “Hi [name]” is too informal. Had a 5 minute, in depth conversation as to why she prefers it this way…

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills.

I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.

Let’s talk labs on the block schedule and the EOC!! Anyone have ideas for chemistry labs?

I will be teaching Biology 9 and Anatomy and Physiology in the fall at a new school. I am in search of recommendations on a good lab manual for both classes. I would like a manual that has a thorough teacher edition and includes a good variety of labs that are appropriate for all learning levels.

Any and all recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

For AP or honors teachers, is it a teacher’s job to filter who gets into the class if there are already set district expectations about course pathways? I’m tired of counselors sending students to me asking to take an AP class in 10th grade when the expectation is that all students take the general course in 10th grade and are allowed to take the AP class in their 11th or 12th grade year. I feel like that decision is not mine to make anymore and I don’t want to make it anyway.
