No, I’m fact our District gave each school licenses to purchase items from TPT!

Need to make a correction: it wasn’t our district, it was our principal. She bought 20 licenses per grade level. It was really helpful!

My principal is not a fan and discourages use of TPT materials because they are not researched based or vetted by the appropriate sources. 🙄 However, I still
Use them occasionally, especially when I don’t want to reinvent the wheel every time I need to supplement the curriculum.

That’s ridiculous. I follow several teachers that are OG trained and purchase their stuff on TPT. Aside from that, the graphs I don’t have to make or the quick activities I want to do in class but don’t have to make myself, make TPT gold for me.

Yep. So BEYOND frustrating. We’re not even allowed to download files on our personal devices and email them to ourselves. Just over here thinking of all the money I’ve wasted on TPT products I can’t even use anymore 🫠🫠🫠🫠

If so, TPT better figure that out quick, or their entire business model is destroyed. It shouldn't be hard for IT guys to trace the virus to the TPT product.

No my district supports TPT

I use TPT for a majority of my stuff. I’m able to purchase with class funds ❣️

Our campus has no problem with it as long as it does not take the place of teaching, of course. My department head actually used part of her funds to pay for each of us like 11 or 12 downloads each in the department. If others don’t use theirs, they give them to us that do.

😱

I was told something about them being difficult to work with for a PO or something. We used to be able to order from them.

Are you kidding me? This has happened to us yet, that I know of. What is their reason for blocking it? Not hurting anyone.

No our administration actually really loves it. I use it a lot to get supplies for my classes.

It's already insane that we as teachers have to pay for supplies out of our already underpaid salary. On top of that they make it harder to access the resources we need.

You hit the nail on the head witht hat one.

I’m interviewing with a startup and have final round interview this week. Talking to the recruiter it seems like they are doing very well (series C, recent acquisition and ARR has more than doubled YoY). I really like them and the team but when researching the person I am interviewing with found out they had layed off an EA due to re-orgs. I am going to ask the recruiter about this but is this a red flag or not really since it’s a totally different dept than the one I’m interviewing for?

This was recently posted in a thread I was commenting on. “It frustrates me to read people’s messages from states with very few cases to act like the virus is nothing to those of us whose states have a 100k.” Syntax aside, the meaning is clear—if you are from a small state, you should zip it.

I am from a small state. Our case count will never break us out of the bottom quartile (probably never get above the bottom 5.) Does that mean I am not allowed to have an opinion?
