Is it just me or do parents not believe their kids need to take ownership of any responsibility anymore? Spent weeks teaching responsibility. Kid forgets assignment. Parent's solution: I should email even more reminders? Yeah, no.

Absolutely! I've been experiencing this too. It's like they can't accept mistakes or that they have to do any work. It is so frustrating, and it's hard to think this is what the next generation will be.

Yikes. It's the parents' responsibility to keep up with their kids and make sure they're doing their homework. I get that people are overworked and these things can get forgotten but if you don't look after your kids no one else will.

I LOVE working for my district because my admin is here to support me. We have high academic expectations and this school may not be for everyone. We have a daily homework agenda that goes home and the student starting in 2nd is responsible for writing it down and late work policy is the same kinder through 5th. There are no excuses.

For us, if it is stated in an MTSS plan, it must be provided regardless of the tier.

Silly OP! Why email reminders when you can drop by the home and pay each child a personal visit every day. Maybe even twice a day! Stop by in the morning to make sure they’re awake. Then again in the evening in case they have any questions. You have, what, 180 students. Maybe more? Maybe less? If you spend 1 minute at each child’s home, that’s only 3 hours in the morning and 3 hours in the evening. Maybe another 10 minutes on average for travel time between students. That’s 30 hours in the morning and another 30 hours in the evening on top of what you’re already doing. You have managed to squeeze more hours into the day, right? So then there’s an eight hour (maybe) teaching day, for a total of 74 hours each day. You may have to do sleeping and grading on the weekends…

The sad thing is, this makes about as much sense as some of the other things we’re asked to do.

I am done trying to pretend everything is fine at work. The higher ups on the team kept asking if I’m doing anything fun for the weekend during video calls. I felt the pressure to make something up but I just can’t. I’ve been struggling with depression, loneliness, anxiety with immigration and the fact that I might be out of work soon cuz my visa is expiring. I’m thousands of miles away from my family and I just want everything to stop. But when my manager kept asking in front of everyone am I

Spent the pandemic working on myself, got sober, focused on working out, left the music industry and started a career where I can make money and have a steady work schedule. Maybe this isn’t everyone’s version of “growing up” but that’s what this was for me. Now that I’m vaxed and seeing my friends, it’s clear we have little left in common, and honestly a lot of the things they do straight up embarrasses me. I don’t want to lose these long term friends. Has anyone else been in this situation?

I grew up poor and was obsessed w financial security. After investing my blood, sweat and tears into my career for years, I’ve decided I don’t care about my career or earnings as long as I have enough to support my family. We are happier than ever making less and saving little. I wasn’t there when my mom was sick and died because I was working and my employer didn’t allow me to be in a mental headspace to be a good person for my family. I can never change that but I can be better going forward.

Hi guys

This question may not be related. However I wanted to know from personal and family point of view how it is like to relocate from India and live abroad .
Let's say Family consists of husband , wife and a kid . I understand we will get good facilities, education, cleanliness , good air etc , however I wanted to check whether people gel up easily in the new environment? Don't they feel loneliness/ difficult to adjust? Do they look for similar asian nationalities to kill boredom?
