I married a teacher. And my best friend is a teacher!!

Almost ALL my friends are people I either work with now or colleagues from previous schools! We have the same schedules so it’s easy to plan things with them 😂😂😂 Plus we have so much in common, that it just makes sense for me!

It might be time to make new friends and acquaintances. It is good to get away from education now and then.

Actually, no. In fact, I find most teachers at my workplace to be arrogant and off putting.

Not necessarily from my school, but I do have some really good friends who teach.

I have many teachers in my family, but my friends are not teachers. Few of our high school teachers are friends that hang out together.

My friends work in graphic design and finance. However, my coworkers are my friends, too. We plan monthly outings and we try to refrain from discussing work-related things while we’re out. Last month, we went to a murder mystery dinner, and we will be going to an escape room and to see a play in a couple weeks. It really builds a sense of camaraderie.

Yes or their husbands who may not be a teacher. Gf is a nurse though. Kind of glad she has a different career for perspective.

Has anyone here bought new build townhouse before? I'm about to close in 2 weeks and the contract states that nothing can delay or stop the closing even if something needs repair. If something needs repair, they will fix it while we're living there. And we have warranty for everything for a year. So my question is, should I just save money and have an house inspector come until 3 months before the year is up?

Thanks to all who offered advice on retirement and FMLA. I think I will just retire after my sick days are used up. I'm 58, over 28 years teaching. Pension is good.

Honestly, is this year ever going to end? These evals are killing me! 😣

What's a rule you are expected to enforce that you strongly disagree with or are indifferent to. Do you enforce it or take the risk? I move around as a tutor and am currently working with a school that has a ridiculously strict formal address policy. One of my second graders refers to me as "Miss Tutoring (my first name)" - it's about the cutest thing ever and doesn't bother me one bit. We are moderated sometimes and I'm more worried about her getting in trouble than me for not abiding.
