What did you do in your classroom to celebrate pi day? We had a parent bring in blueberry pie (YUM) and did a bunch of pi related games in the afternoon. Since I teach 3rd I don’t think a single student understands the meaning behind the holiday yet but it was fun lol.

Pi day is so over-rated. It never falls under the curriculum of circles or whatever for jr high or high school in my career. Sorry, just tired of all the pi jokes and what not. It's the one day people think they know something about math, and the rest of the year math is ignored/hated/etc, Sorry for the buzz kill.

I can't remember the last time I was in school for PI DAY. Always falls on spring break.

Seen on Facebook: 7/22 is my birthday, which is pi. Then, another said "22/7 is exactly the same as pi." More reasons why I hate pi day.

Question for funds folks, since no one is around to answer any questions and I can't seem to find this answer anywhere. Why can't a placement agent combine or integrate the offering of interests in the sponsor's fund with the contemporaneous offering of interests in another fund? Is it based on reputational risk or from a sales perspective in case someone rejects both funds, any other issues? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I have a quick question that’s kind of silly. I work at a pretty small company leading marketing. My title is technically Marketing Lead but I want to put Head of Marketing on my LinkedIn etc. I think of these titles as totally interchangeable—I just like the way the second one reads better. I know titles don’t really matter, but I’m battling a little bit of imposter syndrome.

I’m teaching summer school at a high school, and the co-principals have asked me to focus on only 2 to 3 chapters worth (what they are calling “2-3 standards” in the eight days of summer semesters. However, they are also asking me to give kids the midterm and/or final at the end of each period, which covers 4-5 chapters each semester. My question is this: “Is it legal by California Ed code for the administration to ask me to teach less than each entire semester, yet test each whole semester?”

However, I would like to do it without having to create something in advance. I hope this doesn't sound confusing.
