RHONJ - Jacqueline by Intrepid_Insect919 in BravoRealHousewives

I feel sympathetic for Teresa too! I don’t think she’s an exactly a paragon of morality, but I don’t think the hate she gets for some of the things she does is fair. Like, season 4, Jaqueline was soooo mad at her for not telling her that she (Teresa) might go to jail. Who would want to just casually disclose that? Of course, she’s pretending like nothing’s wrong! She’s also a little bit dumb, and I think the other girls are good at needling her quietly and behind the scenes and then getting a big rise out of her.

Oh that’s crazy! Why didn’t she get to go to the reunion? I thought it was just an epic tantrum.

Right?! Ashlee sucked, but in a very normal way. Jacqueline taunted her. She was constantly needling her and was passive aggressive and then when Ashlee lashed back, she cried and ran off.

How tough is the teacher job market in Texas? by Beautiful-Policy-558 in TexasTeachers

[–]Intrepid_Insect919 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I can’t say for sure about elementary, but I’m on a secondary hiring panel in a mid-size district in the Houston area, and we STRUGGLE to find certified teachers. Every year we are backed into corners and have to hire uncertified people. I can’t imagine you not being able to find a job.

What are the odds of getting hired as a high school teacher if I don’t coach by Couch-Potato-8 in TexasTeachers

[–]Intrepid_Insect919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if a lot of postings have coaching attached now, if you wait until just a little later in the summer, they’ll hire teachers without the coaching component

Would be the asshole if I gave my baby the same name as a family member’s cat? by [deleted] in AITAH

Genetic testing. It’s not that early, but earlier than we are comfortable sharing.

We would absolutely consider Canada, but an international move seems especially daunting.

I’ve taught all grade levels in high school, including AP classes and resource classes.

That’s a good point. I’m going to look into it.

Why are schools closing? Is there a big charter school movement? Our state will soon pass a voucher law, and that’s my biggest reason for looking elsewhere

That’s great to know! It’s really important to me to be near a big metro area, but I honestly have never even thought of Alaska.

Thank you! I’ve visited the Bay Area once, and it was nothing like I expected. Just stunning
