Lining up boys and girls, clip charts. When I first started teaching a second grader told me she was a boy. And was earnest about it. I didn't understand what she meant at the time.

Can’t be. DeSantis and others tell us kids don’t think about that stuff. (Sarcasm!)

Mine is Clip charts. To have kids come to the front and move their clips down for “misbehavior” is cruel. I can’t believe I did that 😔.

Agree with behavior charts, also calling students boys and girls or separating them that way. Lastly, correcting African American Vernacular English grammar.

Thank you, that is exactly what they said! And absolutely agree.

Assuming family norms like a mother and father both involved/alive/etc.

@Michigan - That’s interesting, right? Because families encompass gender norms and roles, as well as the ideas and [whose?] ideal of the nuclear family. Families can be all shapes and sizes - assumptions must go out the door. Good one.

@WV you used profanity in your classroom? 🥸

I have to think about this. I’m not in the classroom so it might be a little different (I don’t use behavior charts, I don’t have to address a classroom, etc).
Thank you for posting this question! I love questions that challenge me look in the mirror.

In addition to assuming family norms, I’d add assuming health care needs. Assumptions in general.

I have had a lot of students with chronic health conditions. We certainly tend to assume young = healthy. Sadly, I have learned that is not the case

Good one, Michigan.

Hello Fishes,

I left capegemini on 4th of Feb and I still haven't got my relieving letter as well as experience letter. I'm trying to access my capegemini portal from
webvpn.capgemini.com but I'm not able to access that either. Please suggest me what should be done, my next employer is asking for relieving letter.

I've been a government attorney for nearly three years now and have worked in the same office/division since I passed the bar. I've yet to receive a promotion other than two cost of living increases (in sum, a pay increase of 6k over 3 years). I know this is meager, but I'm mostly ok with it, I just want to see some recognition. On the other hand, it's hard for me to imagine negotiating because (given my inexperience), I don't feel I'd be able to do better anywhere else. Any advice?

Yesterday only during their press meet they told that they have honored all the offer letters last quarter...and today itself you can see so many delaying and postponing of joining cases in this group only....there must be something very wrong or messed up.

What are your strategies for completing work efficiently? How do you figure out how long projects should take? A consistent piece of feedback on my yearly reviews has been that I over-bill & spend too much time on assignments. It’s something I actively work on, but I still have no concrete sense of how long I should spend on basic tasks (e.g., drafting a motion to dismiss). My firm is right to expect that I manage my time better as a mid-level associate. WFH has made my time management worse.

Something to think about... If you awakened tomorrow and your skin was a different color, ask yourself how you might feel and why? Don’t respond directly just think about that. Imagine you are not the enlightened person you are. 😬
