Managers who have had employees they like take 6-9 months of parental leave.

Can you please be honest and share your feelings about them during and after their leave, and how that may have changed from their pre-parenthood time?

Good people can have resentment. I'm just curious if the real perspective of managers rather than the "socially acceptable" ones.. Many thanks

I genuinely believe you need to do what’s right for your family.

However, I do really appreciate being given an accurate-ish heads up about the plan and do resent the return being pushed out 4, 5, 6 + times without good reason. Especially for those employees I have a good relationship with.

That's good to know thanks!

I’m struggling with an issue with a student right now. I teach in a suburban school outside of NYC that has a very large majority of white students. One of my Black students was recently involved in a biased incident with another student in which he received racist social media messages and racist spoken words from the other student. This was a kid that my Black student thought was his friend. He’s heartbroken, and so am I. I want to know how I can best support my student.

Hi there. I previously had a beautiful baby girl through IVF and emergency c-section. Now I'm in the process of completing my pre-requisites before another FET.
