Why do you think kids don't care about grades/scores anymore? I realize that life is more than a grade or score, but when it comes to school and academics, that's the reality.

True. I don't think the students even know what grades mean anymore. At least at my school!

I think they care but in pa they are tested half to death so they are probably feeling defeated. When the kids get a good grade they still seem to be proud especially if I make a big deal. When I get 100 percents on a test I announce it to the class by calling their name and saying great job and. Thanks for working so hard.

For our kiddos, grades don't really mean anything to the district until high school. We used to have to earn credits in middle school so learning good habits in elementary was important. Now, families don't care because "it doesn't matter."

How do I know Big-Law is not for me?

I am a first year who just started a couple of months ago and I am literally confused all the time. I did some small work for two partners and they loved it, so put me on new deals but the mid levels I am staffed with absolutely hate the work I do. One said the work I did was laughable. I felt bed because I spent over 25 hours on this. I wouldn’t be very bothered but the other Associates in my class are killing it. So I just feel dumb all the time.

I keep seeing people sharing about side hustles that they turned into a brand or an entire company. I'd love to do this, but I feel like I'd worry about time management and making everything work with two schedules. Has anyone in here successfully scaled their side hustle? Or is anyone trying?

Any tips on how to deal with this…my entire team was let go today (was 5, now just me). We functioned as the Marketing team for 4 brands and primarily focused on product launches and sustaining social media content. My plan moving forward is to only focus on the top revenue driving product launches for now and say “no” to basically everything else. Would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation and can offer some advice.
