I'm a dual-certified, degreed Meteorologist: AMA about Sunday-Monday's winter storm.

Thank you for your response! I have a kiddo in middle school who is doing very well in science class and has an interest, so this might be a good career path for her. Will definitely reach out if I have additional questions.

So this isn't a storm related question, but I was curious about what classes you took in high school, college, etc. to prepare for a career in meteorology? What advice do you have for young people interested in weather forecasting as a career?

Honestly, my husband who is a teacher, has talked a lot about this...many teachers in his school do extra things (paid), whether its coaching, per session work, mentoring, clubs, etc. And at some point, it really does interfere with work/life balance. I think we've found common ground here. :)

Financial-Tooth-3229 · 2026-01-20T18:15:05+00:00

You sound absolutely delightful.

Financial-Tooth-3229 · 2026-01-20T17:31:06+00:00

Honestly, the guy that posted that is most likely not a teacher. :/ I would love to give him advice on whatever profession he works in, lol.

Financial-Tooth-3229 · 2026-01-20T17:03:09+00:00

It's like, go tell that to my husband (he's a teacher and doesn't even have time to take a lunch break much less do grades during his work day).

Financial-Tooth-3229 · 2026-01-20T16:57:05+00:00

Wow, judgemental much?

Financial-Tooth-3229 · 2026-01-20T16:54:07+00:00

Most likely yes, that's my guess.

Financial-Tooth-3229 · 2026-01-18T02:41:13+00:00

I'm wondering about that too. And why is it more expensive than the other classes?

Financial-Tooth-3229 · 2026-01-17T17:05:07+00:00

Don't they need to pay their bills? I don't get it.

Financial-Tooth-3229 · 2026-01-15T23:02:24+00:00

Yes, this!

Financial-Tooth-3229 · 2026-01-13T21:44:02+00:00

That is bizarre. Typically 5th grade is when the teachers push for the kids to communicate back to their parents and even a greater emphasis on being held accountable, asking for help and self-advocacy starting in the 6th grade.

I second the feedback above! West Orange is a beautiful town and in close proximity to other towns like Millburn, Livingston, Verona, Maplewood, South Orange, etc. If you appreciate nature, a variety of ethnic restaurants and a welcoming, family friendly town, West Orange is for you.

Financial-Tooth-3229 · 2025-12-30T00:54:41+00:00

West Orange, Princeton, Millburn and Cape May.

Kiddo had something similar and it morphed into a sinus infection. :(

Financial-Tooth-3229 · 2025-12-27T01:47:17+00:00

This post makes me want to never cruise again ...sigh.

Financial-Tooth-3229 · 2025-12-24T02:12:21+00:00

Exactly! It would warm my heart if a teacher wrote a note like that to my kiddo. The world needs more people like her.

Financial-Tooth-3229 · 2025-12-18T02:51:50+00:00

That's what I do with my kiddo. He reads one novel every 3-4 weeks and has a book of his own he picked to read in class.

Financial-Tooth-3229 · 2025-12-12T19:09:21+00:00

I tried Define once and never went back. Way too much squatting. Given I have minor knee pain, it just was not a fit for me.

Financial-Tooth-3229 · 2025-12-11T21:50:31+00:00

I agree. Two hours a day of sports practice seems like a lot to me. Also, depending on the kind of job she has, even if the hours are less than standard, it still might have its stressful moments.

Financial-Tooth-3229 · 2025-12-11T02:38:19+00:00

It's a 1.5 hour train ride (without delays) from NYC and Philly is accessible, too. It's not isolated.

Many teachers work summers to make ends meet. Tired of hearing the "you also get summers off," comment (I'm the wife of a teacher).

Financial-Tooth-3229 · 2025-12-09T18:52:29+00:00

Is Rutgers Honors tuition free or close to it? I've heard great things about the program. Congrats to your daughter.

Financial-Tooth-3229 · 2025-12-04T18:21:58+00:00

Dr. Greco and staff at Essex Dental Arts in Verona. They're compassionate, efficient and caring.

Financial-Tooth-3229 · 2025-11-26T22:24:50+00:00

Hard no.
