Students are only with us 6-7 hours a day. There’s only so much we can do, or undo in that time. Our job is also made much harder when parents bend over backwards to excuse their child’s behavior or worse attack educators for establishing boundaries with consequences. I see this at my school quite a bit. What do you think society must do to value and change our education system today?

Bring back accountability to parents. It has become okay to be absent from school. Truancy should be a thing again. I have had so many students take vacays during the school year and the parents just do not care that they are missing instruction. The parents need to be held accountable again.

Our school uses virtual learning too much.

We don’t just need small tweaks. We need real reform in our school system. Too often, conversations around education get clouded by personal biases, politics, and assumptions, and we lose sight of what school is meant to be: a place for growth, learning, and preparation for life.
Coming from a different country, I’ve seen a model where parents and teachers work in true partnership where families trust educators not only to teach, but also to guide and discipline when necessary. That shared responsibility creates structure, respect, and accountability.
Somewhere along the way, that balance has weakened. If we want better outcomes for students, we have to put aside our differences and refocus on what really matters: supporting teachers, engaging families, and creating environments where students can thrive academically and personally.

We need more hands on activities and practical ways to apply what they learn instead of just filling out worksheets and sending them out to recess.

Hey friends. Recently joined a startup with a heavy reliance on outbound sales strategy. Without a phone number... what are some of your best ways to get meetings booked with prospects?

Our product sells itself, but how do you set yourself apart to get the initial meeting booked?
What mediums do you use with cold outreach that you find most effective?
What copy have you found gets the best ppen/reply rate?

I am not a sales PRO, but I'm also not a newbie. Really just looking for a think-tank.

Have you had to change your start date after accepting an offer and how did it go? I told them I need to give 30 day notice and so I set my start date (incorrectly) assuming the background check and drug screen would take a few days to clear. However, the drug screen is now taking over a week and a half (still not finished, maybe tomorrow). Apparently things are much slower due to staffing issues and labs are backed up. It’s cutting into my 30 day notice significantly. Thoughts?

I read this super interesting article about how big companies like Toyota are investing in social-emotional training for their employees and seeing massive benefits. I actually think this could be a whole separate class for students of all ages. Learning about conflict resolution, growing your own self-regulation skills...it's really important.
