Yup my first grader is at a charter. Lots of good things - diversity, good teachers, involved families, flexible curriculum. The downsides tend to be related to lack of funding and organization. Happy to answer questions, feel free to DM me.

I know I should probably go for therapy but want to get insights if anyone has ever felt this way. I grew up in a close knit family and had complex relationships with siblings.

After 15 plus years, I m sure no one cares. Each time I have needed help or even emotional support, no one has been there for me. It’s come to a point ....

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
