How are schools funded? It seems like the school in the district next to mine has so much more money than my school. How does that happen?

Generally, schools are funded by state income tax and/or property taxes. More affluent districts have more income because property taxes are higher and vice versa and supplement any money provided by the state. Many other districts also have SPLOST funds that are earmarked for certain projects. State taxes have a formula that determines which schools receive funding. If your state does not have income taxes, the lion’s share of funding comes from property taxes

Also many schools are paid for how many students they have in the school. If a school has more students, they receive more grant money than a school with fewer students.

Got ghosted after a final round interview with a unicorn startup. I had a very hands on interview and showed them detailed code examples and architecture diagrams. Maybe I gave away too much? The interviewers seemed really impressed. The cynical thought I have is they're doing interviews just to find answers to the problems they haven't been able to solve. Why else would they ghost me? Everything seemed to be going so well until now.

Anyone know of a good app/site that blocks your access to specific applications for a selected time?

Embarrassing to admit but I have a hard time putting my phone down and I’m sick of wasting my time. I’ve only found ones that allow you to block access to selected apps but it also allows you to end the blocking period whenever you’d like (thus not really helping my ADHD impulses). Open to hearing suggestions!

Why is that you see people rise in the profession of teaching who prosper to Principals. Is it What they Know? or Who they Know? with a Masters and with Honors my district has never even considered my Principalship even though I completed all the requirements. The rule: Principal recommendation- I will never see a Leadership role. This is due to my role as a Lead for the Union. Not Fair - Teachers for Teachers - turned bad for future roles.
