Esperanza Rising, Tuck Everlasting, The Giver, Holes
And, allow them to enjoy the story without pulling assignments out of every chapter! Most kids don’t enjoy reading because we make it too academic.
I teach 7th grade with 1/3 of my students being on an IEP. I use audio books for whole class reads.

The Miss Peregrine series is awesome. Kind of creepy but really well written and enjoyable.

The Giver! Always a favorite amongst my students. Such a great book.

Interviewing at DocuSign, pretty excited but should I be concerned about where SaaS is headed with recent talks of recession and how it’s affecting tech?

My company blames my generation for not being able to hire everyday. “You guys don’t want to work” coming from some overweight, racist, old coaster. I’ve barely taken any days off this year and pick up “skeleton crew” days any chance I get. I was able to work out a deal with my company before I came because of prior experience luckily, but they offer a terrible base salary and sham of a commission structure to new hires + no remote. Then sit here and can’t figure out why…

“Job hopper” and “quiet quitting” are all schemes made up by boomers to make you think everything is the employees fault. When in reality people are just getting out of bad situations. Older companies do whatever they can to pay you the least amount and get the max work out of you. Except our generation will just leave amid we’re being mistreated, not complain for 35 years making 50k and 0 advancement.

I got an email last night from a 7th-grade parent because her son said I mentioned the words "male privilege" in class, and she is very concerned about how that is related to ELA (she said "reading"), and she is concerned about this being taught in public schools. To be clear, I didn't do a lesson on this subject but we did discuss rights versus privileges. I've had multiple parents contact the school/get upset with me because of things like his. It's exhausting... Thoughts?
