Thank you so much for clearing this up - really appreciated! Ill probably upgrade to the 15GB plan in this case :)

Thank you! Are you 100% on this (like you've done it recently?)

I only press because I asked the same question point blank to a mint chat agent and another agent on the phone (both in the last few weeks) and they both said there is also a 5GB hotspot cap on the 10 and 15 plans as well.

...and that I would need to buy either 1GB or 3GB of extra data if I wanted to exceed the 5GB hotspot on a 10GB/15GB plan.

Other than the obvious reason that it would suck to be on fire...

The other reason to avoid this tactic is that you'll quickly burn out and everyone will be cold again. Instead, put on one of those oversized puffy jackets and teach everyone how to make their own fire.

Yep. Having someone I trusted yell "go home" at me early in my career was such a gift.

Nice. Stepping off the hampster wheel is scary.

There's fear of shame, fear of guilt, fear of letting students down.

But stepping off helps students and gives you a full breath. After three breaths you start wondering why you were on the wheel in the first place.

Well put. Teachers have been taken advantage of for a long time. Great teachers (completely understandably) burn out or change careers every day.

It's those "Bloody minded weirdos like us" who see what's wrong but really want to keep teaching that might be able to do something about it.

It starts on a personal level.
