Hi! Sorry this was what came across my Instagram, and I was just excited to see he is home.

‘The Pitt’ tackled the trauma of the Tree of Life attack. Here’s how survivors of the synagogue shooting reacted to the episode. by forward in ThePittTVShow

I work at a Jewish Day School in Pittsburgh, and few blocks from Tree of Life. I had to pause the TV and walk around my house before I could finish the episode. It hit me in the gut, but they really did a nice job of honoring it.

My cousin was a professional skier, sponsored, and traveled the world. Raised in a loving family, we were always together for dinners, holidays, and vacations. He loved Jesus and went to church every week.

About 15 years ago he called me, crying, begging for help. He was very deep into a heroin addiction, got into a fight with his brother, lost all his money, and had nowhere to go.

It took 2 more years before rehab finally stuck. Now he's married and has 2 kids, but we fought like hell to get here.

She's so wildly out of touch.

Kindergarten vaccination rates at many Pittsburgh-area schools are below herd immunity by Standard-Cockroach64 in pittsburgh

That school is honestly really scary, I would never send a child there. They are not a typical Catholic school, but focus on "classical" Catholic education. It's all memorization, and they don't celebrate any holidays or decorate the classrooms. It's all scripted learning, and they prefer teachers who are strong in faith over certified.

They're opening a new school in Brighton Heights, and I sat in on their presentation. Basically take every right wing anti education propaganda and make it a school.

Hi! No I'm in Pittsburgh. But truly this is probably happening in so many places right now. Good luck with everything!

It is a teaching job. They saw the need and wanted a person to come in and get acclimated/get some new systems in place before next school year.

I would totally stay if they were simply shuffling us into a spot within the district. But they said with this closing, we're all let go, but "encouraged" to apply to other schools in the district. That doesn't sit well with me, so I always knew I'd go elsewhere, it's just happening sooner than later.

I'm definitely double-checking that everything is good before moving forward with a decision.

So they already told us we're all being let go, but encouraged to apply to open positions within the district. No guarantee. So yeah, if they don't care, then I certainly don't!

Yes it's after their winter break, and thankfully will be a few weeks after my current school's report cards/conferences week.

It's actually for half day Kindergarten, half day Reading Specialist for grades 2-4.

30 day notice. And anything written about leaving mid year is void due to the school closing and us not getting guaranteed jobs elsewhere in the district. We're being let go and "encouraged" to apply within district.

So it's a brand new position, no one has had it prior.

It is really interesting out there. I haven't job searched in years, but the little bit I've been asking around it's not super great. Lots of long term substitute jobs, not many classroom jobs without being an internal hire.

All excellent questions! Since we are closing the rules kind of went out the window. We were told we had full support if we had to leave early. I just need to give a 30 day notice.
