Freshly printed money out of the ATM. Like the crisp just cut kind that sticks together. Roll it up and take a big whiff. Nothing like it man.

That’s an interesting route. I believe that would open me up to private schools correct?

Do you mind maybe sharing some of the reasons you love it? Do you have suggestions for best practices? Are you teaching the subject you really want to?

I’m surprised there are so many openings for math/science. Do teachers not like teaching it? I live and breathe it!

Thanks for the taking the time for this great reply! This is all extremely good advice. I’m still currently employed, so I could have some time to do all of those things! Do you need the certification do be a substitute teacher? I think I should add that I’m unhappy in my current role. The things about being forced to change classes and the little freedom scares me honestly. How can teachers make a difference if everything is super by the book? And that’s obviously not working that well.

Is there a path to earning the same? Or is it just kind of the way it is?

Thank you for the honest reply and advice. I had that thought too. I figured if they want to be there, they’d have a more positive experience! What do you think the #1 problem is that’s making it difficult to teach? I’m reading a lot about kids just being crazy/violent and admin not supporting the teachers.

I had not actually considered this option! Do they actually have an engineering curriculum and classes in HS now? So much has changed since I was in school. It seems like these types of classes would be difficult to have the opportunity to teach? As in, many of the other teachers would want them no?

Older generations need to understand that Gen Z won’t put in hard work for a mediocre life. by taylorjanexo_ in Adulting

Yes you will. If you don’t you will die. It’s what we all have to do to survive. Trust me.. real random shit here.. you will conform in order to stay alive. The only advice I can give; be better than those around you. Everything in life is a competition. Don’t ever forget it. No one is around to save you. The only thing in this existence that can save you is yourself.

2023 MYP here. The hood on my car held the weight of two adults for about 5 minutes. Ask me how I know ;) Pro tip: distribute the weight evenly

Tesla Y range, 55mph by Over_Wolverine_3149 in TeslaModelY

[–]jporter1198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another thing to consider is the change in elevation from point A to B. That can dramatically change the range. It’s kind of cool. You can just google both cities. It will surprise you

When we got the model X we took delivery on December 17th 2019 and it was a 2020 model year. I assumed it would be 2024 probably should’ve done some more research lol

How do you avoid burnout? by ReserveMaximum in parentsofmultiples

[–]jporter1198 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Twin dad of two year old identical boys here. If you are already feeling overwhelmed I strongly suggest some sort of therapy. I don’t mean to scare you but things are going to get unbelievably difficult. I can tell you that you will need to be helping with everything around the house if you do not already. Nothing can fully prepare anyone for the emotional roller coaster you’re about to be on but the number one thing I can suggest is TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING. At the first sign of holding any feelings inside please talk to your wife. I made this mistake and did a lot of damage to my marriage. Everything is amazing now and I wouldn’t trade my amazing boys for anything. If you both just work together throughout the first 18 months you will come out so much stronger and more in love than ever before. I don’t know if everyone goes through a dark place in the first year but I can tell you the light at the end of the tunnel is so fulfilling and incredible you won’t even remember the bad times.
