I’m a tech teacher. I live in a rural area. Not all of my kids have WiFi or computers. How are you all remote teaching kids who don’t have access to this?

We're dealing with the same situation up here in Washington. We've done a couple of things. We either print out physical copies or provide thumb drives with the materials (documents, readings, videos) loaded on them. We also opened up a password free WiFi access point, so students that can be driven to the school or that can walk can safely connect to the internet long enough to at least download material to their device. Other schools in the area have also started looking into cellular hotspots.

Don’t all student get wifi at school? I don’t understand the point of password free wifi.

Verizon Wireless stepped in and provided about 20 Hotspot devices for families in my system. You might check in to that

Printing copies of lessons for them to pick up in the office. This is difficult when you’re trying to convert an online lesson to paper. Doesn’t always translate. Like how do you teach Google Sheets on paper? 🤔

My district has printed packets for each grade level and they are easily accessible in bins outside the district office. Parents just drive up, pluck out their packet, and go.

During Covid we gave a dozen of hot spots. With the government program about low income families eligible for very reduced wifi, we no longer have a need for them

Is anyone interested in taking over the lease for a top floor 3 bed 2 bath, 1500 SQ ft apartment in a newly built complex in Plaza Midwood? The lease runs through Sept 2023. It's one of the nicest complexes in the city, has close proximity to Uptown, and has excellent amenities (e.g. CrossFit style gym, two pools, dog park, on site complimentary cafe, etc.). My unit has an ideal layout for work from home and a huge patio.

This question was asked in my company bowl: Be brutally honest. Are you more or less productive WFH?

Everyone in the comments said more productive at home and I'm curious if this bowl would have a different consensus. I'm way more productive in the office, although I don't go that often, so maybe it's the change of scenery that helps.

Right now I work for PSCU and I make $20/hr as a service desk tech. PatientPoint just offered me a job for an L2 position @ $24/hr. PSCU came back and gave me a counter-offer of pulling me in as a direct-hire, $2k sign-on bonus, and $21/hr.

PSCU is 100% remote and PatientPoint is 3 days in-office 2 days remote.

I can't for the life of me decide what to do.

The L2 thing is exciting.

PSCU is a non-profit. Glassdoor seems to favor PSCU.
