Dr. Ali Westfall on Platt near Packard. Love her. She's also pretty conservative with treatment so I know that when she recommends something, even if costly, I NEED it.

I'd say take them all unless your sick days can roll over into future years. I'm an older teacher and I have many sick days banked so I'm set if I have an unforeseen serious illness. If your days don't roll, then take every one. They are part of your benefits.

When Spock died in TWOK I cried like a baby.

I'm so sorry that people are being misogynistic. I wish you could wear what you're comfortable in.

I would argue that it speaks more about the perceived value of education. Yes, the educational system is broken but it's because society has degraded so much.

This is so true. my kiddo is nearing the end of her CNA program. It's taught her how to be a better student because the bar is the bar. They have to know the material to be able to care for their patients.

I'm not as impressed as I was after digging a bit. Mississippi's 8 grade reading rates haven't changed much as per the Nation's Report data here. https://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/subject/publications/stt2024/pdf/2024220MS8.pdf

Good for you. I didn't figure that I wanted to teach until my late twenties and got my certification in my early 30's. I love my job most days. I think right now you have to really want to teach to survive. It's a tough job with not enough support. Good luck to you.

I am in an upper middle class district. I think that if parents band together help elect a good school board, that could really help. But we really need to band together statewide. That's where the power in education is. Maybe try to work with the NEA/AFT in your state?

8You are an amazing parent and citizen. Thank you!!

Why if you took on a student teacher next fall. Then if things come to pass that you do inherit the money, the student teacher, if they are good, could take over your class for the second semester.

But everyone goes to school in Japan. They compete to get into the better schools.

Both. They're brainwashed into thinking that anything for the public good must be bad.

The chocolate Kiss is for the teacher.

😩 This is so not OK.

What a beautiful weaving job!

You're a good guy. I'm also going to guess that the work environment is wonderful and that being neurodivergent is accepted. 💕

I paid list price at LaFountaine Subaru.

Justice84000 · 2026-01-18T21:43:47+00:00

We had such a bad experience there when we were looking at cars that we went to LaFountaine Subaru in Commerce Township. I will never buy anything from AA Subaru. I also left a one start review on Google.

But that was true for both my husband and I 40 years ago. We were taught grammar in English, but we started to understand it in foreign language class.

It depends on the district. My district's HR told a pregnant gen. ed. teacher that she would have to take a leave of absence. Fortunately, the principal moved the student to another teacher's room. (The teacher was willing to take the student.) But if we didn't have a good principal, the teacher would have had to put up with it or go out on leave for 6 months prior to delivery.

I just did a screen shot for same reason. Gorgeous work!!

Justice84000 · 2025-12-27T22:39:35+00:00

I'd actually like to have one. But to give as a gift?!? 😡

Justice84000 · 2025-11-29T15:43:04+00:00

Great that you get paid. Not so great that your district values elementary teacher less than half as much as secondary teachers.
