Do you have flies in your classroom? We have a couple indestructible flies! I have hit them with a newspaper multiple times, and after a couple seconds they literally fly off. They kids have tried smacking them, and as one 7th grader stated "They are just hyper imstinctive!" They will buzz right into your face or crawl on you. Anyone have suggestions on how to get rid of flies? Even our custodians can't seem to succeed.

When I had a fly that was super disrupting our lesson, I stopped teaching and explained to students that my friend had a pet fly named Joey and he was visiting with us for a while. Then I said he responds well to quiet so we need a quiet class.
It was HYSTERICAL. They stopped getting loud and started talking to “Joey”. The next day there were two flies and they said “oh, he made a friend”.
Now, these were first and second graders. It made a stressor something fun.

I know my dad does fly bombs when we aren't at his hunting camp and then vacuums up all the dead flies!

Right, the only thing is I think with fly bombs you have to wait a certain amount of time before going back in the building.

Do your windows open? Can you encourage them to fly outside and then you can close the windows after them?

We're not allowed to have our windows open because of the air until being on.

It’s gross, but fly paper works.

Exactly, what i have been thinking. I finally killed a few flies. But the kids were griping about them today

I went to a T14 law school, got great grades and glowing recommendations, and wrote (what I thought was) a great writing sample. But I got rejected from all 70 federal clerkships I applied to. The only thing I can think of is: I took a non traditional route after law school and did a 2 year public interest fellowship in a niche field of administrative law. The rejection gave me a lot of self hatred. I still really want to clerk. Any advice? What is wrong with me? I feel like a failure.

Are companies looking to hire more minorities and people who identify as LGBTQ+? I saw a post about a job listing for a Big 4 and it said it had a strong preference for people who identify as LGBTQ+ or a minority racial group. Does this mean they have a higher chance of getting the job? Not trying to start any political debates, I’m just generally curious.
