I tried watching Abbott Elementary. It wasn't funny too me. It hit too close to home. Anyone else?

It’s funny because it’s so close to being true! It’s also sad because it’s so close to being true! 😂

If that’s your close to home then be grateful because in reality there are waaaaaay worse teaching environments with way more issues. Abbott elementary barely touches the surface of what goes on in many low income urban schools. I love the show!

Agreed! Speaking from having taught at a school way worse than what Abbott portrays, it seems like a dream school to me! I love it too though. It makes me relate to some things and have a good laugh. I had a vice principal just like the principal on the show. It’s hilarious.

I prefer shows like Survivor and Walking Dead. They hit close to home as well. 😂

It typifies every teacher stereotype out there. Watched once, never again.

Hi all,
I am at Big4 UK (London). Recently, I started to suspect myself to have Asperger’s. I haven’t seen a doctor yet and I haven’t been officially diagnosed. I was always understanding that something is not “normal” with me but I didn’t know about Asperger’s. Let’s assume I go to a doctor and officially been diagnosed. What are the pros/cons to disclose it to my employer? Can they fire me because of this? I am on visa in this country. That’s why don’t want to risk it at all. Thanks for help!

I am not sure what to do. My company just had another round of massive layoffs. So far my job was spared. I do got a job offer from a different company but the salary is way lower than what I have now (20,000$ less). Should I choose for financially stability but with a lower salary, or take the risk, keep the higher salary, but have a high chance to loose it as the company isn’t doing great.
