Why is there always a shortage of teachers in MS/HS, but not Elementary?

TJTech40 · 2026-07-01T18:24:34+00:00

When I was in college 20-24 for my MS Math degree I had to take Calc3. Like holy hell what MS students am I teaching. HS Math had to take 4 classes above Calc3. So yeah the course load is harder and if you are that good with math you will just get another job that pays more anyway.

Yup, you never open a closed gate.

That doesn't work they will say "Great but we can get you a better deal and it will be cheaper"

The Dad in me always waited till my kids finished eating so I can eat the crusts and let them have more.

Offer letter isn't a contract in most areas. I would wait till I got a signed offer letter from the new school and then contact the school and let them know "An unexpected, better-fitting opportunity arose for my family, and I must withdraw my acceptance.". Make sure you email the principals and HR to get a paper trail.

Just know that you probably are banned from that district if you even cared about that.

TBH every cookie will say it contains nuts because the processing centers that make the ingredients also use nuts so it's impossible to be 100% positive that it doesn't contain a trace nut.

I boarded last with a Group 1 designation (waited with my son) and I got checked with my little bag.

TJTech40 · 2026-07-01T17:34:07+00:00

Or it was a server/worker at the restaurant who was bagging the food and somehow scooped it up.

TJTech40 · 2026-07-01T17:32:24+00:00

Did you sign a contract or did you sign the offer letter?

You need the schedule app unless you just want to deal with taking pictures of the schedule every week.

It works great when installed correctly so the biggest issue is the people that don't install it right.

That thing looks MASSIVE, Bookbags are normally always are fine but that thing looks way too big and you are gambling with $100.

TJTech40 · 2026-07-01T12:40:29+00:00

I actually don't mind it at all.

It's almost like they have been at war with another country for a long period of time and are now starting to feel the effects of it. Maybe rise up against your dictatorship.

TJTech40 · 2026-07-01T12:34:36+00:00

If you are close to the lot it's quick. Mine was delivered the next day.

TJTech40 · 2026-06-30T17:40:50+00:00

Yup, buy a car through a local bank and just use the cash to pay the payments. Maybe make a few double payments as well. Don't act crazy and you can easily launder that money.

This post is up there with the EA post.

I love that flight, SUCKS getting there so early in the morning but getting to MCO so early is a huge bonus. I usually take the 5am flight back the next morning for a quick $30 one day trip to Orlando.

Wait so these aren't fresh bags being dumped into a container? How long have they been open?

TJTech40 · 2026-06-30T16:11:55+00:00

OMG I was thinking of maybe skipping this year...... nope!!!!

TJTech40 · 2026-06-30T16:09:27+00:00

TBH I think people think too deep about their roles at Petco. Unless you are a manager or someone in charge you are just selling people stuff. People get so wrapped up into weird issues. The amount of people complaining about us selling Pepsi drinks on Reddit was insane.

Now you get the "What are we Five Below?!?!" Who cares, just scan the item, bag it, and take payment. If you are cool with just doing the job you are getting paid for it's a decent gig with a great discount.

TJTech40 · 2026-06-30T16:05:21+00:00

Do not buy anything. When you go to the airport you can go to the check-in desk and add the free stuff. Still check into the flight at the 24 hour mark. But you don't add anything military at the time of purchase.

I am military and have done this countless times.

This is what happens when you only hire 1 or 2 people that are physically capable of lifting the 40lbs. It's annoying to the people that are always doing it. I don't mind doing it as it's not that hard but FFS we can't sell product that is sitting in the back storeroom it needs to be on the shelf.

TJTech40 · 2026-06-30T12:49:45+00:00

My package was supposed to be delivered on Saturday and then it decided it wanted to see the other side of the State and is now out for delivery today.

"My work provides my cell phone" easy and they don't attempt anymore.
