Yeah, this was clearly a bubble. I feel bad for folks that went to large companies and are now paying for CEO mistakes, but there was a lot of dumb startups that had to die.

Why do you think it was surprising ?

Where was the surprise? FAANG has been spending money like drunken submarine crew after a year at sea. This is effectively what happened in 2000. Just then it was Yahoo, AOL, and a host of others. Normal cycle, there are still approximately a million tech jobs unfilled in the United States

How do you come up with your labs to make sure they are aligned with the unit.? I feel like I am doing well on EOC scores but I feel like my class is a drag because we just drill concepts and the labs are not making the connections I’d like between the lesson and the activity. It becomes them just following my instruction and not much scientific processing or troubleshooting to come up with the conclusion. I want to make scientist not just students that pass the EOC.

How do you best support your students who do not speak English? I have four ELL’s in my 6th grade ELA class and they don’t receive push-in or pull-out Bilingual support during my class. Do you pull them for small group to provide instruction separately or do you just try to use google translate to translate your lessons and the work? Any best practices? I’d love some help.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
