We do a handbook activity at the beginning of school that goes over all the clubs & organizations so they know what is available. They present portions of the handbook to the class. We take a bathroom break halfway through class & I take my students to pathway classes so they can see what we have going on

When I was at the middle school level, I used to volunteer to meet students and parents at the high school for tours during the summer. It was the high school I had worked in, so I was familiar with everything. There was a sense of peace walking the halls when the school was empty and we could answer questions. The rising high school students didn't feel uncomfortable or embarrassed. They felt welcomed. When school started, they were kind of ahead of others.

EY PAS said that they can’t offer more than 115k for senior associate in Chicago. I find that ridiculously low since accenture t&o is offering people 140k to join as a consultant. It is from my understating that ey associate is equal to analyst and sr analyst at Accenture. Then senior associate is equal to consultant/ sr consultant. What am i missing here?

I just recently resigned my teaching position for a position in another state to be closer to family. I will be making a lot less money (about 1/2 as much). Am I crazy to give up a high paying teaching position that took me 12 years to get to on the pay scale or is being closer to my family worth the pay cut? Anybody ever found themselves in a similar situation? I gave up tenure too. Honestly, I wasn’t happy living in my home town making the most money I've made. I guess it’s a leap of faith!
