The fact that highly trained and educated professionals need to work a 2nd job to make a living wage shows exactly why opting out of unions is making us weaker.

The best side job is not to have one. I never have. Nor have I ever worked during the summer. My wife is a teacher too and neither has she. We have had 4 kids (the youngest one currently in college). We have no debts outstanding. If we can do it, nearly anyone can.

NC 1 I'm sorry for the loss of your child. I can't imagine. You keep saying it "can be done" though without offering how it was done. What personal circumstances permitted this for you that would have to exist for others for this to be doable. I too cannot fathom a way that a single teacher's salary would be enough to comfortably support a family without significant struggle and sacrifice on the provider's behalf.

I work for my communities recreation (city rec) and make up crafts for kids to do throughout the summer. We have two age groups 3-6 & 7-12. I order supplies, take pictures of all our camps we offer, make a yearly scrapbook of the summer, help with all the events we have. I LOVE it!!

My favorite side job is a combo of coaching baseball and basketball. Same kids as either I’m currently teaching or will be in the future. Also one I love is running the clock for all varsity events. Great way to show interest in so many of my students and makes teaching them so much easier.

My best side job has just been private tutoring a couple of kids each year. It’s quick and easy money to make it over the hump. Right now Covid money is paying pretty great for after school tutoring which makes for longer school days, but no weekends!

Any advice on telling your boss you’re leaving your team?

Trying not to throw shade on my old (new? lol) manager bc I know that he spent all of his career in this department before moving. Is there any way to soften the blow, other than just giving a 2-3 week notice?

I love my kid so much. He was with me throughout all of elementary but has been at the middle school for the past 3 years. He had only a handful of kids he knew from our elementary. He made all of his new friends on his own. I have been meeting them one by one and am sooooo impressed with their character, manners, interests, and grades. He chose his friends wisely! Anyone else experience this?
