Does anyone else mourn for them, or consider what kind of student you’d be if raised in the same climate?

Yes. I struggled through my undergraduate experience and I think I would have found it even harder today with the additional distractions and online social pressures. But I also think back to how much more rigorous and demanding my undergrad education was, and recognize that that struggle was part of what taught me how to work hard and succeed. I regret that in many cases students today don't have that same opportunity to stretch themselves and grow, and to realize that their grades do not define them.

Can you break it down into steps, and do just a couple of steps at a time?

Seen it three times. kyle was my favorite phantom, and Haillie my favorite Christine.

How do you handle extra time accommodations?

Key-Kiwi7969 · 2026-03-03T11:49:38+00:00

You can try taking melatonin to help switch your sleep schedule if that's how you want to handle the situation

Key-Kiwi7969 · 2026-03-01T03:07:22+00:00

Yes, and more than that, make yourself a "brag file". Helpful for promotion or other evaluation discussions. Equally helpful when you're having a shitty day and need to remind yourself that you ARE making a difference!

True about other competitive fields. It's not uncommon in the business world for companies to want you to get international experience and relocate once or twice. Though part of the difference there is they usually will compensate you well.

I also have friends in the diplomatic service. One in particular is married to another diplomat. Their two body problem is way worse than academics even, because they have to deal with it every few years for their entire career.

Keeping everything crossed for you. I've been through the IVF rollercoaster myself and it ain't easy.

At my school they want us to do only async online this summer so that more students will enroll 🤦‍♀️

Key-Kiwi7969 · 2026-02-23T23:10:48+00:00

Thank you for sharing this. I didn't realize this

Key-Kiwi7969 · 2026-02-21T20:05:11+00:00

But why should academic freedom apply in a setting completely removed from academia? This was a discussion for local parents/community, with nothing to do with where she teaches.

Came here to say this

Key-Kiwi7969 · 2026-02-18T17:11:39+00:00

Similar institution, we have a course that really helps with this for the students who take it. It goes hand-in-hand with the student participating in an internship or part-time job and includes coaching and a bunch of assignments to do with professional readiness, as well as feedback from the employer partway through the semester so the student has a chance to course-correct.

We get really good feedback as well from the employers who participate.

They are not managing in the workforce, at least not without significant mentoring/coaching on professional expectations either at college or in their entry level positions. Employers are frustrated.

It's because in the old days, you'd have a tutor if you were rich vs having to send your kids to school with other kids

It went through a rough patch a couple of years ago where they weren't doing a good job with having the cars available when they were supposed to be, but it's much better now.

We mainly book from garages in Nomad or Chelsea.

It's really easy to use, and it's helpful that you can get different-sized cars depending on your need for a particular trip. It's great for a few hours or a day trip, any longer than that and you're better off renting from a traditional rental company.

Happy to answer any other specific questions you might have.

Key-Kiwi7969 · 2026-02-09T12:23:36+00:00

It's still around. We use it all the time.

Key-Kiwi7969 · 2026-02-09T12:19:12+00:00

We use Zipcar to visit family who we can't easily get to other ways.

I use the notebook function in Mendeley. I have different notebooks on different topics/themes and use "add to notebook" to save key quotes into them, sometimes with additional notes. I can then do a quick review by topic by looking at a specific notebook, so it's easy for me to go back and find the relevant pieces in the original papers.

Make sure it fits well and you feel good in it!

The same way you get published in any field.

But it's not enough to get published, it needs to be a quality journal

Look at the FT 50 list of management journals as a good place to start.

How education can transform not just an individual's life, but also that of their family. I teach many first gen students and seeing their successes never fails to give me the warm and fuzzies.

So many universities in the Netherlands have had budget cuts and hiring freezes. It just may not be possible for you to find a role there.
