Did anyone else adopt the new Florida Wonders curriculum? We just adopted it this school year, and I teach 4th grade. My team and I have not found a good flow, schedule, or whatever you want to call it. We feel like it teaches too many skills in one lesson, and we are not able to truly teach anything “deep” enough for students to master. Does anyone have any insight? What do you do? Do you like the curriculum? Why or why not? Would you be willing to share what you do weekly/daily? Thanks!

Any Deloitte fish do IVF and medical cryopreservation of embryos (not social cryopreservation - as my wife has diminished ovarian reserve)? I’m having a hard time understanding our benefits for embryo freezing. We would like to retrieve as many as possible, given diminished ovarian reserve, and would commence with IVF immediately, hoping to bank others for children two and three

I'm currently a medical scribe with background in risk analytics and business development(switched from finance to medicine) and currently trying to get into a clinical trial assistant role. Last year, I had spoke to professionals who say I have the skills and experience to join, but due to my lack of clinical experience, I was unable to join. Now after a year, I have 8 months scribing experience in a hospital.

How do I leverage this experience to break in now?

Hi All, I have been married for 3 yrs now to a guy I dated for 5 years . The dating years were good but things are not too great now. So I have multiple issues with him and we have been having too many altercations these days . Firstly , the frequency of sex is almost 0 or maybe once a month sometimes not even that . Secondly , I think he just doesn’t split the household work equally . It’s like taking care of a baby . I have had multiple conversations with him about this he does some work

Wife got a positive pregnancy test today. 2nd baby on the way. I’m excited but also feeling pretty numb. Recent job changes, about to move house. Any advice?

My husband and I are going to start trying soon and are trying to get on the same page regarding childcare. I suggested daycare but my husband says he absolutely doesn’t want a “stranger” watching our child. Instead, he wants our moms to watch our child. My mom doesn’t have the best health and can’t really be relied on so that leaves his mom. I’ve said for years that I don’t want our moms to be our childcare. Is there a way to compromise here? Any idea that’s not a parent = stranger to him 😩

This is for all mothers or would be mothers out there..

My partner of 5 years ended our relationship last night. I’m shattered and feel absolutely sick, and I know the healing isn’t going to be easy. We were on the verge of an engagement and I was ready to spend the rest of my life with him.

I don’t know how to approach work during this time. I think I can get by, but I’m definitely not 100%. Should I talk to my boss about it? My team is close-knit and comfortable around each other, but I don’t know if it’s “appropriate.” What would you do?

A tip I always give to the owners of my furry patients:

When putting down an animal, you don't need to take them to the vet center. Talk to your vet. They can come to your home, and do it in a place where your pet is comfortable. They deserve a familiar place to be ♥

Hi fishes!

The other company is asking me to respond to their offer by EOD. How can I politely decline the offer while not burning the bridges?

When did you know that you want to have a kid(s) and what helped you decide to go for it? Not a mom but want to ask people With first hand experience. My BF is sure he wants them and I did too until I did the research on cost of childcare, lifestyle changes, and most importatntly the impact on career (my BF says family stays with you but works don't. I love work for the sense of achievement). Now I am leaning toward childfree. I would really appreciate your thoughts and advice!

How are moms juggling kids constantly getting sick at daycare… as the default parent and the demanding job, how does one succeed?? Is the system broken? Or am I missing something

Is it a good idea to look for new jobs at the same time of planning for getting pregnant? Do companies have policies around how long you need to be around before you can take maternity leave? If they hire me when I’m 3 months pregnant, should I mention that I’m expecting in 6 months?

Hi moms! Ugh so I was trying to “lean out” of my career temporarily because I have 2 kids under 2 but this job market is INSANE (continue...)

To my Deloitte mom on here: what happens to your utilization when you go on maternity leave? I notice since there was a chance with the calendar year in the firm, my utilization has gone down a bit compared to a last year, which it was a few weeks ago... I’ll be on LoA in 5 weeks, maybe I can call and ask but wanted to ask here first. Also, do you have to login every week to complete DTE and MySource? TIA!

My toddler (2.5 yo male) is regressing hard and wants to play with baby toys that his sister (8 months old) plays with. It’s frustrating because he is acting younger than he should. Is this a phase? How do we get past this?

Moms, did having daycare at your gym help you to go more often? Did the environment help?

Hubby thinks that we can workout at home (peloton, weight bench, online classes, jogging stroller) or in our community gym & pool. But I'm excited to join a local sports club with lots of amenities (classes, squash, tennis, swim) and 2.5 hrs daycare / day.
I'm remote so getting out of the house occasionally would be nice, plus give baby some exposure. Baby will start full time 9-4 daycare soon though.

Just a thought to discuss.
I grew up in USSR, my mom and dad both worked at the airport and my mom was working shifts (2/2) as she was a chemical engineer approving planes engine conditions as acceptable to fly.
So ever since I was 8, I was going to school by myself, I was picking up my brother from kindergarten and taking him home. I was feeding him and myself with stuff my parents left in the fridge.
As an HR I talk a lot with female employees who are trying to make it all work. Keep reading
