Well.... today ended the 3rd Grading Period for our school. I have to admit I am a solid mix of bittersweet. I will miss those students who are amazing, polite, and respectful, but I rejoice that some students will no longer be in my class! Am I just rotten, awful, or what?

Oh my God, NO, you are not rotten or awful!!!!!! We all feel like that - lol. Some kids are just so challenging, I count the days until they are out of my class. Others are so amazing, I get emotional when they move on. It's just the reality of teaching.

Nope, you are perfectly human! Not all children are easy to love. You do your best, and that is all anyone can do!

No, you are perfectly normal. I understand your situation…I taught (now retired) sixth grade Literature. It’s sad to see the great ones move on, but you jump for joy when the “turds” leave. One year I almost had a shirt made…”I survived (fill in name)” but thought better of it!

Why do you lose students after quarter 3? Do you teach electives that are quarter courses?

We “semesterize” so after second quarter in one class I only kept 7 students & had 28 new ones, but I’ll have them until June. I 100% rejoiced, and even counted down the days, that I was losing about 10 of my first semester kiddos.

We had quarter elective courses for one period back when I was in 7th & 8th grade. It was a great introduction to electives that I otherwise never would have taken.

Hi all,
I have 3.9 years of experience in tcs. Last year i was selected in DCA exam and started receiving elevated incentives. This year i was wrongly given C band and because of that my incentives are now paused. But the thing is my compensation letter still says my ctc is 8lpa. But in my salary slips I'm not receiving according to ctc. Currently I'm serving notice period and told the other company that my ctc is 8lpa. Will there be any issue on bgv when i join next company?

Hi All, just sharing what on mind to vent it out from my system. Maybe with this I could gain some insights and inspiration.
I have been working as a data scientist since 2018 & have been the bread winner. I have neither been under a proper mentor nor with a team of peers from my field to help me out. I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.
