My kid just started 1st grade. He got a 96th percentile reading at end of kindergarten on the MAP standardized test and had “secure” scores (highest possible) on all the report card categories at end of year. Now, week 2 of 1st grade we got an email from his teacher asking if she can work with him towards some certification. I asked why she chose my kid, and she said b/c he got 18th percentile on some other assessment they just took and she believes this will help him throughout the year. (Cont)

I wrote back saying I’m confused to hear this based on the other scores he’s had and haven’t heard back yet. My MIL is a speech teacher and said she’s never heard of the assessment the teacher mentioned. I’m annoyed because I feel like she asked if my son would do this certification then dropped a bomb that he only scored 18th percentile on something. Like if he’s falling behind wouldn’t that merit more than making me dig for the info behind her initial email? Also confused about how he could have fallen so far in 4 months. Any advice or support appreciated.

With product design questions, I struggle to identify user groups. Once I do everything starts flowing and I’m confident. But the initial identification of user groups is something I find challenging. What’s your go-to way of doing this? For example, the question “design a podcasting app for truck drivers.” What types of truck drivers can I select so that I can prioritize a user group to focus on and begin identification of pain points and solutions?

Hello everyone!
I recently found out that I was being paid less than everyone in the team (more than 25% gap to more expe teammates, around 15% less than new hires)
We all had the same responsibilities, I consider I even had a heavier workload (talking in past tense since I very recently made an internal move).
Things to consider:
On a work visa
Non-white
Non-male
What would you recommend doing?
Keeping it to myself?
Speaking up? How? With who?
