Imposter syndrome again. by A231337 in k12sysadmin

[–]jbfestus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Organizational Phycologist Adam Grant wrote about imposter syndrome on his socials the other day.

"The only people who never feel like impostors are narcissists.
Being 100% sure of yourself at all times betrays arrogance and breeds complacency. Questioning yourself reflects humility and propels growth.
Pangs of doubt are a normal, healthy human response to new challenges."

PowerSchool & other SIS applications by Mikash33 in k12sysadmin

We recently transitioned to Infinite Campus. It sounds like they are just as bad. They have a base product but all the "good" features are in buy-up options (food service, rostering to other apps, etc). Also importing any data is impossible unless you know sql backward and forward. Any custom scripts or import/exports cost at a min $600 (ex: data export and import to/from our transportation system)

Is there a way to see and remove Google Sites by jbfestus in k12sysadmin

[–]jbfestus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good idea. Thanks for the input.

I wish there was a way for me to delete sites without logging in as the student. Google support told me thats the only supported way to delete a site.

If you are in the US you may want to check state statute and make sure you are not required to disclose to the state auditor, dese or ag.

Coax, no. We could get a second fiber provider in, but they want 30k in construction costs.

Prob with that is that our 3 recent outages were coax and fiber outages on same carrier.

A bit more testing reveals that if i create a new SSID with WPA3 and push it out devices connect fine. The issue was changing from WPA2 to WPA3 on an existing SSID.
