I had at least six students ask why we had school today if the government shut down. I had to break the news to them that public schools stay open during a shutdown. Anyone else have to explain this to their students?

I’m impressed your MS students knew about the shutdown. Yours must watch different Tic-Tocs than mine. And I admit, since I’m a gray area military retiree with a full-time public school job, it hasn’t seemed to affect me like when I was in uniform.

I would hope that any educator could easily explain this. Public schools are funded and managed at a state and local level. Depending on the age, I would use such questions as an opportunity to highlight how easy it is for people to form prompt opinions on something they know very little about, based on headline snippets.

Nope. Most of my students avoid the Feds. They consider the shut down a blessing.

Me too, I’m also surprised they had questions about it.

Hi peeps!
Got two offers on the table, who love to hear your advice!

The tech job pays 15k more, but from what I can see will be a cluster and super long hours (has EU stakeholders). Maybe a pipe dream, but I want to have a "somewhat" decent wlb while still growing my career toward strategy and finance.

Thoughts on which one is better?
