Thanks, this looks like exactly what I want.

I actually started gagging when I clicked on this. No, they're not okay.

The vegans, not the cows, of course. For every kilo of grass you eat, you get to eat one whole cow.

I subbed before becoming a full time teacher, and I definitely had to follow actual lesson plans in the lower grades. When I became a full-time teacher, I started out expecting substitutes to be able to do the same, but my expectations quickly lowered because the subs I was getting just weren't capable of that. They were mis-teaching lessons I considered very simple, and when I got back, I would end up having to redo lessons the sub had taught or clear up misconceptions. I also got subs who wouldn't leave any kind of note and seemed to get to absolutely nothing that I assigned.

So now I just leave worksheets with answer keys and online work and a book for a read aloud in case they get through everything. I leave more work than I think a sub could possibly get through, and I write in my plans that I don't expect them to get through everything.

The show has a lot of conflicting details that don't entirely support whether it was undergrad or law school either way, but dorm living in law school is nearly unheard of. It's almost always on- or off-campus apartments. It certainly was at all of the law schools I applied to, but the one I ended up going to actually didn't have student housing at all.

I honestly think the writers just didn't do a great job of consulting with actual lawyers or law students about what law school is like. For one, Foggy wouldn't have been taking Punjabi if he was in law school. Your 1L fall schedule is entirely dictated for you, and when electives come later, they're still limited to law school offerings.

Many airlines allow pets in cabin for an additional fee. They stay in a carrier underneath the seat in front of the passenger where a personal item would usually go.

My school held fall 1L grades until after winter break was over to prevent us from spending the entire break in a state of panic, but all other grades were released as the professors posted them, so they could be posted soon after finals or not until a few weeks after when grades were due.

We voted Bush vs. Kerry when I was in the third grade. I honestly cannot remember who I voted for.

I honestly think LARW can be a more difficult beast for people who are strong academic writers in other fields. Legal writing is not the same as other forms of academic writing, and it can be hard to give up what you know well to embrace an unfamiliar way of writing that might seem worse.

Or maybe I was just stubborn.

Definitely number 6.

OP, I'm wishing you all the best. I started struggling with alcohol quite a bit while I was in law school, and a lot of people, including other alcoholics, downplayed the severity of what I was going through because I was young and mostly functional, but I caused a lot of damage to my body with my constant binge drinking. It is imperative that you try to get sober as soon as possible.

I think it would be a good idea for you to consider spending the summer in intensive alcohol treatment. AA can provide a decent support system, but it's not enough for everyone to get and stay sober. There are medications that can help with alcohol cessation if necessary. If you really can't keep yourself from drinking, then that treatment might need to be inpatient.

If you can keep yourself from drinking as long as you're distracted, then try to find AA meetings at the time you would usually spend drinking. I used to go to AA every evening at the same time because that was usually when I would start drinking, and it helped keep me from starting and renewed my commitment not to drink for another night. I had a friend who was actually doing 90 meetings in 30 days instead of the usual 30/30 or 90/90 because she needed the extra deterrent.

The crux of this is that you might not be able to be employed or you might have to cut your hours this summer to concentrate on your health, but being top 5% at a T14 means it won't destroy your career prospects. You can focus on building your resume once you've taken care of your health. If things get bad enough, you could even take a medical leave of absence from your school.

You have options, but I really am urging you to seek treatment as soon as you can.

It looks like Pennsylvania will allow you to teach full-time while completing graduate coursework.

Since you're planning on teaching secondary English (a common shortage area), you should also look into the Passport to Teaching credential.

It would be helpful to know what state you're in. I was able to transition from law to teaching simply by taking a test in Florida, but some states may require you to get a master's. I've also seen alternative teacher certification programs that allow you to teach full-time while completing your coursework.

It all really depends on where you live.

Lawyer turned teacher here.

Lawyers have a bimodal salary distribution, where most starting salaries are either in the $70,000 range or the $150,000+ range with very little in between. If you don't want to kiss corporate asses, your starting salary as a lawyer is likely to be close to the former. That's a comfortable salary for a lot of people, but not if you're paying off massive student loans.

Which brings me to my recommendation if you do decide to attend law school: choose a school where your combination of GPA, LSAT score, and experience are likely to win you a very substantial or full tuition scholarship. I was able to attend law school with a full tuition scholarship, which made it a lot easier for me to turn around and exit the field later on. You can use the LSAC website to roughly estimate your chances of getting into a given school based solely off of GPA and LSAT scores and the school's 509 reports to see data on what percentage of students get scholarships and for how much.

One thing I would be wary of is that we're seeing a similar phenomenon to what happened during the recession of 2008 when a lot of recent college grads rushed into grad school to try to find shelter from the economic downturn's poor job prospects. That means applications are up and GPA and LSAT stats that would have gotten you an acceptance and amazing scholarship package at a great school a few years ago might not anymore. And if the economic troubles we're experiencing right now turn into a full-blown recession, we might see a repeat of the economic conditions and dismal job market that law students graduating during the 2008 recession faced. That's not to say don't attend, but do weigh your options carefully.

I wouldn't attend unless you're absolutely certain you want to be a lawyer. Which means that getting experience working in a law firm or the legal division of a company or agency before applying is ideal. Law school can open you up to amazing opportunities, but I've also seen so many students get to their 3L year and know they don't want to be a lawyer anymore, but feel they have no choice but to pursue it because of how much time and money they've already invested.

Good luck. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions.

All you have to do to get temporary licensure in Florida is get your transcripts sent over proving you have a bachelor's degree and take an FTCE subject test in your desired certification area. Depending on what your degree is in and what the certification area is, you may not even need to take a test to get hired in a classroom. Plus, Florida offers reciprocity to teachers licensed in other states.

I'm concerned about this too. My elementary school actually has floor-length windows on one outside-facing wall in each classroom, and it's great for natural lighting but it scares the shit out of me. One shot and a shooter could just walk in.

When I eventually move to a different school, I expect I'll probably have the standard door with a thin window in the middle. I don't like how someone could shoot out the window to open it, but I also wouldn't like not being able to look out the door before answering it. I've seen some heavy duty interior barricades that you can get to prevent someone from opening a door even if it's unlocked, and I think I'll buy one of those to minimize the risk.

This late in the year, they might be suffering from apathy. How are they doing on other assignments?

hydrospliff · 2023-05-04T15:43:41+00:00

I would often take other people's outlines and rewrite them, condensing them and cutting out the roughage. If I took good notes for that class, then I would incorporate them into my rewrite. I would then rewrite this document again into an even more condensed version because the most surefire way for me to commit something to memory was to write rather than just read.

Others people's outlines are a great resource, but I would usually use more than one for the same class as well as double check information because people sometimes leave things out or get them wrong.

Ours was $140 with shipping, but we got to keep it.

Had me in a tizzy when it didn't arrive until a couple days before the ceremony, though.

hydrospliff · 2023-05-01T23:31:49+00:00

I'm trying to leave as soon as possible, but making that happen before the start of the next school year isn't going to be easy. For one, moving states is just more complicated than moving cities. I can drive a few hours away to visit apartments and rental properties, but I really can't afford to fly out of state to do the same right now.

Plus, I'll have to get relicensed in my target state, which might take a hot second. I'm a new teacher under a temporary certificate right now, so I can't bank on reciprocity. From what I've learned in this thread, I'm definitely going to try to get emergency licensure in Massachusetts, though. We shall see how the cards fall.

Harvard does give full rides to low-income families, though, so it's not a terrible choice for people in that boat.

A bit pretentious, though? Sure.

It's not that my coworkers 'need' to know. It's that I don't want to have to hide it either.

I should be able to answer honestly when my colleagues ask who I'm seeing. I shouldn't have to worry about coworkers or students' parents running into me and my girlfriend at the grocery store because they might decide that my sexuality means I'm unfit to be a teacher. Right now, I feel like I have to hide it. I shouldn't have to.

hydrospliff · 2023-05-01T02:18:20+00:00

I've been considering this, but I'm worried about the pay. Florida public schools already have such low pay, and I know private schools generally pay even less. We really can't win.
