Sorry it took me forever to respond. Long, crazy week! First of all, high ability kids are often very verbal. Be prepared for kids who love to talk! Also, you will likely be surprised at their energy level. It can be exhausting to keep up with them, but it’s also a lot of fun to watch them in action! I teach 2nd and 3rd graders, so I am not sure how these behaviors translate to high school. Also, be aware that many of these kids are perfectionists and are extremely hard on themselves, so keep their social/emotional well being in mind! Keep me posted! Exciting!

Thank you! Those are good things to know. I taught inclusion for many years and there were different concerns there. I am hoping the honors parents aren't as bad as I have heard.

Really great (and sometimes challenging) questions. I learn so much because my really bright kids are thinking constantly. I really love that!!
For me, it was learning how to respond to parents who are more interested in their kids than my non-honors. Finding the best wording to keep them plugged in while setting some boundaries. 😊 FYI—proactive communication with timely emails of school/class information that focus on the positive.

My 4th grade class didn’t show up today because the teachers are upset that student behaviors that are an issue in music are carrying over to their classroom. I understand their frustration, but nothing was communicated with me. I even thought things were going better this week.

Hello,
I teach 4th grade at a Christian school. I have been teaching for over 30 years but I have been at this school for 2 years. Since I have been working at this school it seems like everything I do in my classroom it's something wrong with it according to my supervisor. Recently, I was told that I am not getting a new contract for the new school year. I have to find a new school. I was told that I am not a good fit for the school.

Hi Folks,
I am working for NetApp Client, Bangalore however My base Location is Hyderabad, and I have heard from a couple of NetApp Employees that they are planning to resume offices by May.
My questions are:
1. If UST is planning to bring employees back to office?
2. If they call will I be asked to relocate to Bangalore as my client's location is Bangalore or will I be working from Hyderabad only?

PS: My manager has left the organisation and I am the sole person from UST in my project.

Received a job offer. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a concern I had about it. It's an entry level position, and I don't have much experience. The billables are 2040 a year. For billable hours in civil litigation and insurance defense, is 2040 hours for a 1st year associate on the high end in this field for a small or midsize firm? It seems like most attorneys I know have minimum requirements of around 1800. The compensation is around 80k a year.

I know it’s competitive out there, but I also don’t know how I can either position myself better, seek positions that are more aligned with my expertise/experience, or work on improving certain areas.

Any advice on how to proceed?
