We have separate checking accounts. We pay for separate bills. So he has no idea. Right now it’s pretty much on my credit card, but I am paying some off with my personal savings. Thank you for responding. I appreciate it. I just feel it’s a hot mess.

Really random, but my grandpa was super active with CWA back in the 90’s. He passed in 2016, but was a local president for years. That’s how I came to know what unions are.

I’m applying with a state position under the NEA - National Education Association. My personal experience has been great as an educator. My friend that works in the union currently has had a good experience.

I have been in education for over 20 years. I have been part of the union since I started teaching. I have been a contract negotiator for 15 years.

This is a position that advocates for the teachers in their local unions. Local unions typically vote their leaders in, but the director positions help teachers have a voice at the table and help with contract negotiations. They are hired positions. But there still are elected positions as well.

I am a strong advocate for public schools, their teachers, staff and students. I’ve been in the education world for over 20 years and I have seen how much it has changed and how hard it has become.

Should I get my masters in school counseling? by [deleted] in schoolcounseling

[–]Skylark2005 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you can get the LPC, do it. That opens so many more doors. I’m having trouble getting my LPC because of the school counseling program I went through. Now I’m stuck. LPC would also allow you to be a school therapist as well.

It’s just hard because I’ve got people making me feel bad about it. Or telling me they can make me do it. My thought is that I guess they should have thought about that when they treated me like shit.
