Today one of my students said something so simple but it made me stop and think for a while. It got me wondering how often students unintentionally teach us lessons too.

What is something a student has said that stayed with you long after the conversation ended? It could be funny insightful heartbreaking or something that changed the way you teach.

A student said, “I don’t compete with others,
I just want to be better than my yesterday self”

Yes. I asked a student why she stopped hanging about with another student, and she said, “She’s low-vibrational. She’s still on that yesterday stuff and I’ve moved on to future stuff.” I was speechless. That was a lesson taught to me that day.

Can't think of anything off the top of my head but really just all the times that kids come to my room and tell me about all the siblings, friends, etc. who currently have diseases is hilarious and always reminds me to wash my hands.

Dear friends

Help me finding a job in development sector. I'm interested in Consulting space. Going through a rough phase and empty pockets have taught me a great lesson. Being unemployed wasn't a choice but mandatory to look after my family.
Since, everything has reached to it's pace, I'm ready to pull up my socks for new assignments.
Happy to have a quick conversation on career guidance and also shaping my career ahead.
I could see people from prestigious organisations are here. Pls help.

Hi All! I recently started my own Private Equity firm. Searching for any big do’s, dont’s, or hard lessons you learned along the way. Do any veteran entrepreneurs/PE partners or staff members have advice they would like to pass down? I know early on in my consulting career there are many things I wish I could go back and tell myself.

As always, thank you all! 🐟

At my uncles wedding in Madrid I remember lying down on the grass in the courtyard after their first dance and crying, my Dad came and saw me, laid down in his suit beside me and asked what was wrong.

“I know my boyfriend wouldn’t dance with me like that at our wedding”

And we just lay there as I cried, and then got up. Had a drink.

Said boyfriend left years ago, and now I have a wonderful man who just asked me what type of dance lessons I want for our wedding next year.

Don’t give up.

Do you work the holidays into your lesson plans this time of year? Or is it too much of a distraction from your routine? Teaching a SPED music class this year and the students have finally *mostly* become comfortable in the room and with the instruments + noise. We usually work on the same songs each week for one month, but I'm thinking of switching it up and doing Christmas/Holiday songs next week as a send off into break. I work with mostly autistic students.

Do you take the current economy into consideration when receiving job offers?

Not my current scenario but just curious. I would like to make a move from current employer but this economy has me spooked.
