Those of you teaching Kinder-
How are you managing your online class? Are you live teaching? Or do you record? (I’m thinking of parents who work still and aren’t able to attend live sessions).

I don't teach at that level, but I can say that my kindergarten-aged nephew has had a couple zoom sessions with a speech teacher and some others and he's delighted by it. He misses school and is just happy to see and talk to his teachers-to know they miss and care about him, too. He misses his classmates and wishes he had opportunities to see them, too.

I really think just being encouraging them and helping them as much as you can with whatever you have will be the best thing for them.

Update: his teacher held a video conference yesterday and I think it went well? He was excited to see his friends, but he also cried because he misses school. Thanks to all the early elementary teachers who are trying to make it easier for the little ones. (And every other teacher, because let's be honest, this is exhausting.)

The kindergarten teachers I know do some optional live meetings just to chat and let the kids see each other. They record their instruction.

Hi folks, I have recently joined Publicis Sapient taking an offer of 14.4 LPA. I have total 4.5 years of experience and my previous CTC was around 3.4 LPA. I had various offers in hand but not one to counter this one and PS is providing me 4x+, so I couldn't negotiate much.

Another thing is I was an immediate joiner as I had left my previous organisation 3 months ago so I couldn't wait to think about this offer.

But now I think it's low, what do you think please let me know and suggest.

Hi,

I am 31. Married for 12 years. I spoke to my doctor two days ago about sterilization. It was the first time a gynecologist didn't judge me for that.

I am considering getting my tubes tied, but my husband isn't super on board because of the finality of it.

He is ok with not having kids, but seems to think I will change my mind.

My school is a small rural school. We don’t offer many in-house electives. What’s happening is students are having to take whatever is there to fill their schedules.

What are some electives you have at your school that are new, innovative and interesting for todays high school students?
