It only took me 7 years to figure this system out.... posting in case it helps anyone else! I color coded my classes and printed off numbers according to the number of kids in my classes. I then assign each kid a number that corresponds with my gradebook. When they turn in their projects, they put their number with it. This way, no contact and I can easily see who has and hasn't turned in their projects yet. I take the list down once they remember their number.

How bad are the working hours at London’s top agencies (Uncommon, Mother, WK etc) in this pandemic? I’ve heard stories of people with complete Zoom burnout.

Consulting Baby Shower question - what was the best baby shower gift you ever received?

I’m expecting to go on maternity leave this summer, but I hate working at my current company. The work is uninspiring, the people are mediocre and I feel myself torn between quitting and finding a new job, but possibly losing paid leave, OR, sticking it out and taking mat leave then quitting. Any advice or insights?

I currently work from home, but it’s not a permanent wfh position. I just had my second baby, my parents live in the guest house and they babysit the girls for me while I work. My salary covers all expenses and I am able to pay my parents 1500$/month to babysit daily.
Eventually I’ll be asked to go back into the office. The office is 7hours away from my home….. ARE THERE ANY INSURANCE CO. HIRING REMOTELY?

Fish,

Does anyone know if H1B holders are eligible to take FMLA? I'm reading conflicting things online. I'm on an H1B (year 6 on H1B; GC filed and have an i-140 date) Need to take a few weeks off to take care of some medical issues with my toddler. I'm also going to be going on maternity leave in about 5 months (company offers it). I'm not sure if taking FMLA now would somehow impact my maternity leave. Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

Investigating a President’s adult child who doesn’t work for the administration is a slippery slope for congress. Did Dems investigate Ivanka’s magical patent grants in China? Jared’s massive loan from Qatar? The GOP is about “getting even” rather than actually leading.

Anyone have generator recommendations? Are there any that aren’t obscenely loud? Moved to a northern state with lots of snow and have a baby arriving during winter. Thinking I’d like to get a backup generator to give me peace of mind.

Only in Westlake can a Latina mom driving a Mercedes be mistaken as their own child's nanny.

I’m coming up on my annual review and the company decided to give everyone raises early, (two months early). I think to dodge any potential negotiations. I have A pregnant wife and three kids, have worked here for six plus years and making less than $22hr. I’m thinking about talking to my boss but am nervous and unsure how to ask for what I think I’m worth? I fill the roll of a supervisor though that’s not technically my job title and feel like an undervalued yes-man. What should I do?

We are not idiots Mark, people know how to work from home. Ffs.

pros/cons of buying a (pre-war) condo in nyc from an investment standpoint? building has great financials, well constructed and maintained, under ~$600 sq ft., good size, 3.25% rate. cons: in an up and coming neighborhood of brooklyn, so only a handful of restaurants + cafes nearby compared to more bustling parts, needs a full kitchen reno, one bathroom only (2 bed/1 bath). will be my primary residence for the foreseeable future, but hoping to build equity to buy a bigger place down the line.

WFH/Layoff/Security
Hi,
CCTC including all benefits is 16.57 with 8.3 YOE, primarily focused on Manual Testing.
Is it worth looking for another opportunity?
I am afraid after seeing layoffs news of EPAM, Publicis Sapient & most of the other companies calling employees in the office.
I love my WFH in PwC India & base location of Kolkata. & the best thing is stability in PwC India, they never lay off!!

Advice request: Any suggestions for meaningful/engaging early finisher art activities or routines? I teach Pre-K - 8th. Sketchbook time just does not engage them as I had hoped (especially 5-8).

How would you write a report card comment that had concrete feedback that was specific and actionable if your time with the student was coming to an end? (I'd love some examples)

Hey everyone! Happy almost winter break ❄️

What digital platforms have you been using to engage with students? Especially if it's collaborative or fosters more classroom community.

Just curious how others feel about teaching students to grid pictures as a means to draw them more accurately.
I grid my own work using photos/still life’s that I create

Elementary art teachers. I have been teaching the artabet from Ron Mulvey out of Canada. He teaches 6 basic lines to learn and how to draw using the lines. Round and round, back and forth, up and down, zigzag, wiggle wiggle and dot dot dot. It has been a success for me.

I like using Artsonia to catalog/preserve student work digitally. But I end up spending too much time walking students through how to upload or taking the pictures myself. Does anyone out there have a really great set up or recommendations? Or other digital platforms they really enjoy using?

What is the most useful tool/ equipment in your art room?

My school deliberately cut the number of classes that the specials teachers teach so that we could be building subs for quarantined and sick teachers (we are hybrid). So... I teach fewer classes (which is a relief because specials teachers teach way more classes than core teachers normally) but I'm pulled for most of my planning periods to babysit classes. I need my planning periods so I can redo my ENTIRE curriculum... and I just feel unappreciated, used, and nothing more than a babysitter.
