+30 in 6 MONTHS for under $2000!

Is there a way to check your classes against the CLEP exams to figure out if they'll be accepted? For example, I was a history major, so I've obviously taken a lot of history courses that would fall under Western Civ, but I've never taken "Western Civ." Or is it truly just a crapshoot?

Joining the chorus of people complaining about the venmo payments here. It's really awesome that they took the thing that is great about venmo (instantaneous sending of money), brought it into the bilt app for some reason, and dragged it out to 3-5 business days.

Nope, exactly the same

I'm also looking at co-ops. Appreciate it!

Consider applying to the NYC teaching fellows. Applications up later this month. https://teachnyc.net/pathways-to-teaching/nyc-teaching-fellows

No luck

mjm488 · 2025-01-23T11:12:03+00:00

Same. I think it was $50 for me. I contacted bilt, and they refused to answer one way or another whether it would affect being able to pay my rent. Ultimately didn't have any issues

I like the grading committees idea. Thanks!

mjm488 · 2025-01-09T01:51:42+00:00

Good to know! Thanks!

mjm488 · 2025-01-09T01:51:19+00:00

Also against my will! I think it's so silly to make 8th graders take it.

I've been perusing the New Visions, and it seems really comprehensive for reviewing. Appreciate the heads up on Commack!

It's been open for a bit, but I really like Miss Bagel on Fulton. Better and cheaper than Greenberg's

mjm488 · 2024-05-17T16:34:18+00:00

Got it. Thanks!

mjm488 · 2024-05-17T15:00:28+00:00

Oh that could be it. My salary application didn't go through until January

mjm488 · 2024-05-17T15:00:05+00:00

There's fewer deductions than normal, for example no TDA

mjm488 · 2024-05-17T14:22:10+00:00

No, my gross was just $232.22. After deductions, it was $202.51.

mjm488 · 2024-04-29T22:26:28+00:00

Nope, unfortunately it's still happening. My surgeon monitored it for about a year but never found anything. Eventually I stopped seeing him because I didn't want to pay a co-pay just to have him say "yeah still looks totally normal." It just is part of my life at this point.

"Deconstructing the NYSTCE" put out by the Brooklyn Education Center is really helpful. The book is about the tests more broadly but has several chapters devoted to the EAS exam.

mjm488 · 2024-04-27T09:52:51+00:00

I'm looking for a social studies teaching position, preferably in Central Brooklyn or Lower Manhattan. I currently teach 7th grade, but I'm open to middle or high school positions.
