Constantly, we have 1 newcomer class. I don't agree with the district EL policy. I judge that newcomers should have 3 or more EL classes and not be in literary arts, social studies, etc. These classes are too context embedded.

Your newcomers need a silent period to listen and absorb language. Language learners learn in baby steps just as our own children do. They will begin producing language over time. Use a lot of picture supports, body language voice inflection, and cultural references the child can relate to.

I have an offer on the table from a competitor and I’m struggling with a decision. My boss and I get along great and I’m extremely valued, but not seeing any growth opportunity in the future. Same boss is also not kind to most of the team and can be toxic. What they’ve told me regarding growth would be sales (in other words, relying on others), and nothing is being sold. Naturally, the competitor is raving about the growth opportunities. Does anyone have a similar experience or advice?

However, he is very good with phygital designs, automotive UX/HMI, and designing VR experiences and would like to explore career opportunities in this area. He has done this phygital work for some major global car manufacturers already.

Have you ever been misdiagnosed by your doctor? I went to my primary doctor for pelvic pain and inflammation after sex. She swore I had an STI after a pelvic exam and she did a cervical swab to test. She treated me the same appointment before the test results came back. I got a shot 500 mg of ceftriaxone. And also some type of antibiotic pills. The tests came back negative. I never had an STI. I had a yeast infection :/ I was treated for the wrong thing
