Oops....stole yours, sorry!

NONE

Tranparency — there is none.

likefunny

My district really prides itself on its transparency. We get weekly reports of how our town and county stacks up against the state, and we get feedback from our superintendent as to the state of the district about three times per year. Our superintendent is visible and in the schools as we are going about our work day. It is refreshing, really.

“I hope this email finds you well.”

likefunnysmart

Every time I read it, I just want to reply with, “No, your email has not found me well. I have anxiety all the time and have no idea why you would assume I am well at all!”

Amen! I've had enough of that to last a lifetime. During the shut-down that our state experienced, the local Sonic was open as an essential workplace. I would go there, not for the food, but for human interaction.

Grace

like

In our district, grace is given to students and teachers alike. The admin and superintendent realize that we are stretched and stressed to the max this year, and are letting some things slide in favor of other things that are more important.

I figure it this way--as an adult, I need grace in everything that I do. Why don't my kids deserve that same grace?

“Don’t have enough bandwidth for that”

likefunnysmart

Yes. We didn't have enough bandwidth last year, but this year, we've actually been able to closely guard the password for the teacher's laptops, and kids can't get on our internet unless their phones are approved by the district.

Either "unprecedented" or "pivot".

Ha! I said "pivot" too. I purposely didn't look at the list before I responded. "Unprecedented" also has to go.

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. I’d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but I’d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled
