I feel like we're affected more than anyone else (except maybe history teachers) by the censorship and critical theory debate. Dealing with books coming on and off the banned list and angry parent emails over curriculum I don't have control over was especially frustrating this year. What are your tips for avoiding the conflict and teaching the facts without getting dragged into a political debate?

House flip question

Hey all newbie here. My husband and I are living that Double Income No Kid life wanting to (Financial Independence) Retire Early.

Both in tech in the Bay Area. I’m in Arizona visiting family and am thinking of an investment property. Does anyone have a book/course/video that they personally have used and recommend for flipping houses? I want to do some research there’s a lot of content out there.
Thanks a bunch!

I’ve made it 5+ years in a NY M&A practice and have consistent exceeding expectations reviews. I’ve had a few mental breakdowns because of work during this time, but thankfully made it through. I’ve been in a near constant depressive/anxious state for family reasons for the last year and half, and am soon having my first kid. I’m scared shitless that I’ll spiral out of control both at work and at home if something doesn’t change soon. Any suggestions on how to keep this job and keep it together?

I will go for maternity leave from mid October. Will I get hike on November? I joined on last year November. Also I got very less variable pay in the month of May. It was 8.5% of my 6months salary. Will it be same percentage on 6months salary or 1yr salary this time?

I went to a networking event today, but deep down I want to marry a prince/ trust fund only child and be a stay at home TikTok wife/mum .

Anyone ever considered contractor gig in Meta/Facebook or any other big players in tech? I'm full-time in a smaller company and it's pretty stable. Wondering if the move could be worthwhile. Mostly want to explore other areas. Other things to consider: planning for babies in the next 3-5 years; maternity leave in current position is basically what's legally required.

At a tech company with less than 50 people and $6 M Revenue. Our current maternity and paternity leave policy is not good for attracting talent. 12 weeks for mom only 4 weeks paid and no time off for dads. Curious to know what policy other companies have, and can you let me know size and approx rev of company?

Reviewed a student book as constructive as possible.What I liked first about it then pointed out what needs work. Kid replied by criticizing my feedback in a rude condescending manner. What do i say?

Parental leave: do you have to be at a company or firm for a year before being eligible to take parental leave? Are there any companies/firms that don't have this requirement?

Should you gift your GF who has kids but not with you something for Mother’s Day? 👀 if yes what’s a good gift that’s not over involved ? (Not flowers or chocolates 🙄).

Hi AUS fishes,
Can you please help with some suggestions for a friend who is currently in Australia. She is a mother of a 2 year old and ready rejoin the workforce.
She holds a Masters in software engineering from an Australian college and looking for opportunities in Canberra or WFH. Any role that can pay bills should be fine.

What are some side gigs people have done that they wouldn't pursue again today? Are there any you'd still go for, but would approach completely differently?

Thinking along the lines of:
- Platforms you'd keep away from
- Gigs that people have missed the boat on by now or instead that have just taken off only now
- Specific hustles that aren't worth the upfront cost/hassle in setting up or that are super hard to hire for
- Policies/attitudes you'd adopt going into things this time around

If you had 2 mortgages at the exact same interest rate (1 is a 15 year and the other is a 30 year), does it make sense to put extra payments (say 400 per month) towards one or the other? Looking at it purely from a $ perspective in the long term (not psychological where You prepay the lower balance quicker to ultimately have only one loan).

15 year loan - 125k balance (renting this property out)
30 year loan - 400k balance (looking to buy this property soon)

Anyone have any good advice for getting students to think/respond on their own? So many times when I ask them to write their own thoughts about something and to explain why they hold that opinion, many students get stuck and/or turn to the Internet. And then I find myself repeating, I’m asking for YOUR thoughts about this, not someone else’s. I teach grades 9 & 11.

What is THE BEST professional development you've ever been to? (Conference? District workshop? Etc.)

When beginning a piece of literature, I first help the kids access the relevant culture. I have used web quests, but I have found that the kids researching their choice of topics and creating Slides containing information and pics results in more students participating. Recently they researched heraldry for the Medieval Era and reproduced either a family crest that they found or created their own personal crest. Anyone have other activities they use?

Hi All! I am teaching English 4 for the first time this fall, and I’m just wondering what ideas y’all have for starting off. My class will be TINY (less than 5) so I want it to be super-engaging. All Black and Brown students. Help!

“Teaching is not a 9-5 job, it can’t be, even if you’re the most effective teacher…”

Agree or disagree? Heard an admin say this (generally have a good relationship with them) and am curious for input…

Today, my entire class stated they do not feel comfortable working with the school's instructional coach. How can I, as a teacher, encourage them to open up and receive helpful strategies and help with their homework if they are not comfortable? Any suggestions? I don't have time to assist everyone.

I'm looking for the best go-to resources to supplement middle school ELA and make it more relevant and accessible to all learners.

What are some reading centers you do with your 5th - 6th graders while you pull a small group?

I teach middle school reading intervention, but I am noticing a high amount of students at our school do not have any phonemic awareness. What are you best ways to combat this?

I can not teach a phonics class and I already pull small groups. Any resources? Wanting to plan over the summer for next year.

How many of you have a set curriculum and how many of you get to choose the literature/create your own content? Which do you prefer?
