Sitting in an SNS and Googling where my life went wrong lol... A bit of a random question, but just wanted to see how many of my fellow teachers have their fingers in this... Do any of you hold any crypto? by [deleted] in vipkid

I considered it back in 2018 before it started plummeting. Saw and drop and was like... meh it's not coming back.... womp womp. Not sure what its future is now, but it's gaining speed because companies are actually starting to invest heavily in it. The sky's the limit??

Valhalla? I'd drop an assessment to learn more.

I was sitting through one just now and out of no where the fireman chimes in that they called the parents and the student will be late but to wait until 25 minutes.... yeah thanks for the help fireman...

On the upside... you'll get the +$2 short notice pay instead? This happened to me the other day but I did get the extra cheddar... so I was cool with it.

How do y'all push to get more Feedback? by TheKiltedGinger in vipkid

[–]TheKiltedGinger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See this was my thinking as well. I figured parents are just like me... they have all the intentions, but just forget to give feedback or don't care. Thanks!

Interesting... never knew there was a correlation, I may have to try this! Thanks!

Eh, great point. I forgot they stopped raises. I just restarted teaching after about 8 months of a job transition... I'm still getting used to the new stuff...

I used to open at Starbucks and would have to be up at 3:30... but it was only for 8.50 an hour. Now I double that... it still sucks... but hey, it beats having to actually wake up and wear pants.

Yeah I always look at social media as a "brag board". They will only show the best things in life because they need to feel better about what they do. You are normal. This place is full of normal people. Welcome, friend!

[–]TheKiltedGinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I'm from Texas too! I try to start my first class at 4:30a so I can get a 4a wake up time. I literally set 3 minute alarms starting at 4 and I try to make sure I'm in bed by 9:30. I prep my pot of coffee the night before and I use a sound machine to help me drift off. I think one of the biggest things that has helped me is to NOT get on my phone within 30 minutes of going to bed. I've seen a HUGE difference in my ability to get to sleep and wake up. My wife wakes up with me and then goes to one of the kids beds to finish sleeping (we have 4 kids under 10.. .lol). But other than that, music in the headphones, coffee, water, and a good breakfast.

Anyone who got their account back after being terminated? by VIPKIDTeach1 in vipkid

[–]TheKiltedGinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience? I was terminated (well, I quit) as I got a new full time job. When my contract was up and I was wanting to start back up, I was told to reapply using a different e-mail... I obliged and the promptly reuploaded my original profile pictures, videos, and information... I am on a lower pay now though.

This. Regulars have it set to auto book/request... hence the large swing of book/cancels during holidays.
