This year, I have tried something new for my students! If students meet classroom expectations and have no missing assignments, they get 20% Time. Basically, if they give me 80% of their week with 100% effort, they get 20% of their week to work on a project. I have students who have written stories, crocheted, made drawings, taught themselves cursive, created origami, made quilled art, etc. Many students started completing assignments and turned behavior around to get their 20% Time.

My school has this built into our daily schedule, a time for leisurely learning. It is a time for tutoring, special projects, and makeup work.

That is such a cool concept!! It must be so cool to get to learn about your students more based on what activities they choose to do. I've been really looking for way to motivate my students to do their work, so I will have to try this out and see if it helps at all!

I learned about this from Don Wettrick. 20% was used by Google, 3M, and other companies to reward them with tone to work on projects. My kids are loving it. The great thing is that while my students are working on their projects, I can help the students who have missing assignments. It also gives me time to talk with and quietly discuss behaviors with students who are struggling. I also talk with students who are working on projects, so my students who are not 20%Timers do not feel singled out.

Hi guys, i have a current CTC of fixed 30L and I got a variable ~8L (32%). I heard that Bofa doesn't give bonus so what is the ideal one can quote the HR and should look reasonable?
PS - I heard that Bofa gives an average hike of 10% whereas in consulting I have always received hike > 20 or above.
Given this and markets I was hoping for ~50L (considering 30+8)? Any suggestions. Also they are in an urgent requirement for the role to be filled. I need suggestions on this number. Thanks in advance

Hi Fishes, Anyone who can refer for a job in Informatica for senior software engineer role? Please DM. Thanks in advance 😊

Our appraisal came through exactly as the offer price we put. Apparently by lenders 3rd party. Isnt that a bit fishy? If it came in lower our contract has the option to negotiate a bit with seller. Is lender just trying to push this along faster? I'm pretty sure in this crazy market the home is not valued at what we offered. Why would seller put a much lower asking price then? Make no sense. Please advise!
