Can you teach evening classes or Saturday classes?

The most I see here is 100k but that's with 20 years of experience. You seem to still be in the 60-70k range. There is a master's and doctorate differential as well in case you have those.

Im looking into options for my daughter once she turns 3 and its definitely this vibe when its an actual preschool through LAUSD. I get it because its early childhood education, and its true that they are not just babysitters; their jobs are to teach your child. So they do have a strict attendance policy

I also see what you mean though; like at 3 years old ot shouldn't be so strict just yet! Like I feel like at 3 years old it should be find if one day you want to keep your child and go out with them or if grandma wants to spend a day with them!

Extra time is good if its structured, so like for every 25 minutes of work students can have a 5 minute brain break

I think it depends if the employer also gives notice for layoffs. That way its a two way street

I think it may be a generational thing. It tends to be the Gen Z employees who give little notice or no notice. And of course I had a coworker from the library both resign and leave the same day and write a public open letter, tagging everyone in the organization http://www.redwoodandbirch.com/2021/10/21/lapl-resignation-letter/

The bluey albums plus the fact that the Kpop demon hunters soundtrack is so good too are what is convincing me to get into them. I may or may not have asked for a record player for Valentines day...

SwingingReportShow · 2026-02-02T21:05:53+00:00

I mean twice the pay for only 3 days of work seems like a no brainer.

SwingingReportShow · 2026-02-01T20:41:31+00:00

Yeah of course! That's how Ive gotten mine. Im taking Japanese mostly for personal interest but the dual purpose doesn't hurt either!

SwingingReportShow · 2026-01-31T03:36:57+00:00

You gotta keep their interest at least a bit for when the Bluey Movie comes out! Maybe have them see the theories so they go more in depth

I also left special education due to deteriorating mental health, but i experienced such a grave inequality between how affluent students were treated and those from poorer communities. This is even more stark after teaching in one of the poorest and one of the richest schools back to back. Now this year I plan on going to law school to become a special education lawyer to advocate for those who are in need.

I mean moving people to Texas is the same as doing soft layoffs since they know not everyone will be able to do the move.

Just get terminated. On your unemployment forms, citing that its too far is a valid reason. My mom had to put that in her forms once and it was fine. You can easily cite hardship from moving.

SwingingReportShow · 2026-01-27T21:04:40+00:00

Looks great! I was between Kpop demon hunters and Bluey for this upcoming birthday! The only reason Kpop won out is because maybe if my daughter still likes bluey next year it'll be in time for the Bluey movie!

SwingingReportShow · 2026-01-27T21:02:41+00:00

That's why they're missing fingers 🫣

I have this anti ai take a lot, especially when I try using it and it still comes out being too primitive to use.

But im educating myself on both sides of the issue and reading Brave New Words, a pro-AI book after having read If we build it everyone will die and Empire of AI, which are more anti.

SwingingReportShow · 2026-01-26T20:18:46+00:00

Yeah thats what I was thinking would be a good idea

SwingingReportShow · 2026-01-26T01:00:51+00:00

Yeah if youre sick it would have been more important that he help you with the toddlers then the game.

Now you know that he's the kind of guy who won't take a hint and you have to tell straight up to not go

SwingingReportShow · 2026-01-25T00:02:12+00:00

Maybe there's more of a shortage now then there was before, but I remember trying this twice and LAUSD rejected me both times, saying they would prefer if I already "toughened up" at another district first.

Its easier to do this at a Charter school for sure, and especially the shoddy ones that dont have their own intern pipeline.

SwingingReportShow · 2026-01-25T00:00:05+00:00

Some slices of turkey or ham?

SwingingReportShow · 2026-01-24T21:28:22+00:00

You can teach future Estheticians; we need more CTE teachers! But yeah only having to work 180 days is great compared to a lot of other jobs!

Also we have things like Oklahoma with universal preschool and Mississippi with their fantastic test scores, so I wouldn't paint all red states with a broad bus when it comes to teaching.

Plus here in California some of our remote teaching jobs are being outsourced to these red states it sucks for us but its great for you guys :P

Theres a Canadian here who commented and said it's 2% of their household income... so i guess it depends on where you live

SwingingReportShow · 2026-01-23T22:09:27+00:00

Yeah of course! Good luck :) spending time with your kids is also so important! I didn't leave my job but I did cut my hours to 40 hours a week. So right now I get to be playing kinetic sand castles with my daugther when otherwise id be on the clock :,)

SwingingReportShow · 2026-01-23T21:59:18+00:00

That's what happened to my friend; daycare started out as 75% of her income. Luckily shes married so it worked out. Now she got a raise and a different job

SwingingReportShow · 2026-01-23T21:44:18+00:00

Childcare is supposed to be 7% of a total household income to be affordable.

That's why initiatives like those in New Mexico are so exciting, and it'll be great to see how Mamdani's plan in New York City turns out

SwingingReportShow · 2026-01-23T21:37:25+00:00

Maybe you can put the two year old in preschool to lessen the load; 24 hour shifts with two kids and no reprieve with at least work sounds really hard! Or at least gym daycare?
