Be prepared for your "coaching" to be rejected and met with suspicion. You'll need to make it very clear, repeatedly, that you are not allowed to report to Admin on the teachers you are helping. You will have to earn their trust.

Try to find a teacher who has a good reputation on campus and win her over as your ally who will put in a good word for you. Sort of like "social proofing."

Vlookup courses?
Hi all, i got lucky and interviewed for a position and got passed on to schedule a interview with the hiring manager prior to the recruiter screening. The recruiter said knowledge of vlookup is vital in their decision for this role. I have 2 weeks and i was very honest and said i didnt know how to use vlookup but in the next 2 weeks i can learn and apply it. Do any of you have recommendations on courses?

I am on notice period with Tata Consultancy with 2 months remaining with an offer in hand where the joining date is just after notice period ends. Now, I got early release from current company and thus, I saved 2 months. But I want to use these 2 months for travelling, upskilling and looking for better offers instead of contacting the new company for early joining. So, if I join the new company after 2 months will this be considered as a 'gap' in my profile in the future and will it be harmful?

The skills & academic stamina of students in adv. classes are the lowest my colleagues and I have ever seen across ALL subjects. Students also seem not to care about the quality of their work, goal setting, & improvement like they did pre-C-19. Being back in person for a year has not erased the learning losses; in fact, this group is worse off than last year’s classes. Do you see this trend in your advanced programs? I wonder if it’s a district curriculum & philosophy issue or more widespread.
