Literacy has collapsed. There are too many distractions. It was becoming worse and worse pre covid but post covid it’s a done deal. Kids lost a few years of learning during the pandemic and now my 8th graders are reading more like on a 4th grade level and acting that way too. The average American reads at a 6th grade level. Their phones are vastly more interesting to them than a book. Look who they voted in as President. The point is, it’s not surprising that teacher qualifications have eased. Where are they going to find teachers when our whole society has become aliterate?

So true@FMS1

First of all, you can't believe things on social media. There's a well-organized campaign to destroy public education in America, and disinformation on social media is at the forefront of that. The next few years are going to be pretty grim for teachers, the mindless political attacks are just going to get more intense.

From what I’ve read, it’s not about skipping literacy tests entirely. The new law seems to eliminate one specific test that many argued didn’t accurately reflect a teacher’s ability to educate. I think it’s about balancing rigorous standards with practical, meaningful ways to assess qualifications.

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you

How do I ask for a title change and pay increase to reflect what I actually do? Do I ask my contract house, or my NASA mgmt? Should I ask to make the pay retroactive since I was hired to do one thing, but do another?
