No. I wish. Some surrounding districts have it and some will start next year. There are some who have tried and reverted back years later.

Consensus seems to be teachers love, parents hate for obvious reasons (child care).

Is your district considering?

Yes! I was here when we changed from 5-day to 4-day weeks, and I was amazed at the improvement. The students are more focused in 4-day school weeks, after a nice weekend break, and I found I could actually cover MORE material than I could when we were running 5-day weeks.

Hey all,

What's with the probation period with Deloitte India? What's the rate of termination, if there are any, unlike the other firms (who have a probation but 99.99% of the employees are confirmed at the end of probation).

Appreciate your inputs.

Thank you.

Hi Fishes
I want to share very bad experience I had at
Mastercard
I was given offer by Mastercard in month of Dec The hike was less but looking at brand & other perks I accepted the offer & was looking forward to joining them.I got few offers & I went back to them for sole purpose of renegotiating CTC, to have a industry standard hike. They didn't reverted back for 2-3 days & just dropped a mail that they are revoking initial offer as well on grounds that they didn't like i gave other interview

I’ve been having a super hard time concepting lately, especially knowing that the “concept” will mostly serve as a sticker to slap on the cover of a CVA and the top of a website. I feel like every pharma concept I’ve ever seen or created becomes so cheesy once it appears in tactics. Does anyone have any examples of HCP creative (non-DSA) that is both impactful and translates well into pharma tactics?

How do you engage your students in more reading outside of what is required in the classroom? With each passing year I am finding an ever shrinking population of students, including honors students, who actually read beyond what is posted in social media or video games. Students willingly volunteer that they do not read and most parents see it as a non-issue. I tell my students that the best readers are usually the best writers. What are some strategies that you use beyond reading logs ?
