Hi all 👋🏾 I'm 2 years in working as a classroom aid working with 2nd graders, and considering making the jump to teaching full time if we can make it work. My background is a bachelor's in business administration & master's in engineering management, and a 21 year retired Air Force veteran.

My wife and I have our first baby on the way next month. Between preparing ourselves at home, working with students, and thinking about making the jump we've talked endlessly about what "right looks like" from the parent level. Alas, maybe easier said than done

My question to you: What should parents be doing better or differently (or just doing at all) for their children to be successful and respectful in school? Basic skills, attention, manners... From your view, If there's anything you could beat into the parents' heads, what would it be? (Was initially thinking "by kindergarten" or "by grade school," but honestly for any age, even teens)

Would love to hear any perspectives, whether it's broad strokes for any age like "read with them everyday," or very specific skills, books, or activities targeted for certain ages.

Hang in there, summer is almost here 🙌🏾

I get they made it obscure to deter it, but I'm hitting a dead end.

Here's where I'm at:

1. Retired from active duty effective 1-May-26

2. Opened a rollover account with Schwab 3 weeks ago

3. Two weeks ago, linked the Schwab IRA on my TSP account as "Rollover Mailed to Institution 1"

On tsp.gov I navigate to "Withdrawals and Rollovers Out" and it gives me these options:

- Hardship Withdrawal

- Roth in plan conversion

- Consider a Loan

- Withdrawal Calculator

- Self Service Rollover in

What am I missing? I see no option for self service rollover OUT under the "Rollover Out" menu, and not even any mention of how to get started by mail or otherwise if they don't allow self-service options.

I've tried searching the domain and finding a site map, but have hit the wall on what I need to do to actually rollover out now that I'm no longer in service.

Is it not recognizing my retired status? Is there a way to inform the change if so?

Looking for some advice on simple hikes (anything from a couple hours to a day trip) in or near Pai. I'm new to the area and picked up hiking when living in Korea. I was spoiled there with such detailed trail maps built into KakaoMaps and Naver, every trailhead easy to find and routed thru the mountain

I walked up to Wat Sri Don Chai the other day and was surprised to not see trailheads or other access into the mountains.

I'm not seeing much browsing on Google maps, and can't tell the difference between it just not being marked or if there's no clear trails & public access.

I see Hua Chang and Mae Yen waterfall trails marked, but I'm not seeing much for access points into the mountains or if there are marked trails to follow.

Tried to search a bit but google's a mess these days and most results I found lumped in Chiang Mai hours away.

Are there better apps to use?

Don't know many here yet and they weren't too sure. Any help or recommendations are appreciated! 🫶

I've been using my Joule device since 2016. Now when I open the app, I'm prompted to download a Breville+ app if I want to keep using it.

The app says it's not available in my country.

I can still get it to connect and start but after a bit of time it just stops, which I haven't ever had issues with before being prompted to change apps.

Am I SOL? Anyone have a similar issue or find any workaround?
