As a rural educator, what’s a challenge you face that it’s harder for teachers at larger schools to understand?

Opportunities for kids and funding. Kids in bigger town have more places to go after school and more opportunities for field trips and experiences.

We do not really have speciality teachers. So, we teach art, music, PE, and recess/lunch duty. That makes it hard to get prep time, but you learn to be creative in finding that time. We also have to clean and vacuum our own rooms:(

Our district is 52 percent Hispanic. Other districts don't understand the delay in learning when they speak Spanish qt home.

I teach at a rural school in southern Illinois. People don’t realize how laws and regulations are created for schools in larger towns- like Chicago. It’s also harder to change things here. It’s so conservative and people have been doing things the same for years. What seem like small, positive changes for a school or club, could upset older community members who view their old school so highly

I get so tired of the phrase ‘we have always done it this way’.

I work as an Associate at a VC fund. I started working at the company almost a year ago. We recently looked to hire another associate for the fund. I ran the search and we found a candidate we liked and then I found out that the other candidate got offered $15K more than what I am making.

For context, I am the only non-parter on the investment team so there is no one else to compare myself to.

Feeling demotivated. Has anyone else experienced this?

I’m buying a home! It’s a little tight but here is my monthly cost breakdown ($9k/mo take home):

$3k mortgage
$500 for 15 months for new floors
$210 for 12 months for roof repairs
$300 groceries ($75/week)
$100 eating out
$150 estimated utilities
= $4260

Leftover = $4740

Investment Allocation:
$2k in HYSA
$2.2k in VTI
$540 leftover just in case

Is this a good budget to stick to? Also I may be able to subtract $800-$900 because I’m planning on renting out a room!
