I know a lot of teachers are leaving the profession- where are all of you guys going?

Dyslexia teacher here - I have a regular dyslexia class (middle school) and also a tutoring period at my school. for the tutoring period, I’m trying to come up with something fun. Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down and so forth.

We’re looking at meal plans. what would current or former Landmark students recommend?

Would it be better to get more on campus meals or more towards “Dining Dollars”?

How does everyone deal with family members who insist on discussing topics you really don’t want to?

Mostly along the lines of topics they have strong, inflexible opinions on? I don’t mind a discussion or a light debate, but when it’s, “listen to me rant and then agree with me.” it’s annoying.

Dyslexia interventionist here - any tips on how to tame the paperwork monster? I have to spend so much time on compliance paperwork I feel like I’m missing out on time to come up with new ways to engage the kids.
