What are the chances for a restock? Really like the hunters green hat and orange brim, but missed it first time around, and none of the two-tone hats have ever come back in stock afaik. Do we think they will all restock eventually or should I go for the all green that’s in stock?
Hello, my dad is interested in yard club tickets for a squirrels game and I called the box office and was a little confused so thought I’d ask here too. The box office told me basically yard club tickets are open first to season ticket holders and any left over go on sale to the public closer to the game. The guy I spoke with said something about them going on sale on a Monday, but stupidly I didn’t write it down. Does anyone have experience getting yard club tickets for a single game without season tickets? What exactly are the rules and how was the experience of buying them? Thanks in advance for any advice!
Hi, I am 29 and have been working in a more corporate/administrative legal profession for the better part of a decade. Despite how it sounds, I am not highly paid (I make $25.50/hour) I have always had a peripheral interest in teaching, but I have been discouraged by a lot of teachers both in my life and just generally online through the algorithm. I am currently thinking about middle school English or science. Thank you so much in advance.
I would love to hear from some teachers about a few things:
-If you switched careers, how difficult was it to get your masters in education and teaching license while working?
-If your bachelors was not in your teaching areas of interest, how difficult is it to switch? (Context: I have a degree in English lit and political science, as mentioned above I am also interested in middle school science, so nothing that requires advanced math or science)
-I would love to hear a range of opinions from good to bad, no holds barred: do you like teaching? Why or why not?
-How difficult is it to take vacations at times that don’t align with regular school breaks? (Context here, my mother was a teacher and NEVER EVER took time off school for almost anything and made it seem literally impossible, even with a good sub plan)
-How worried are you about/how much would you factor in the future of public education given the current sociopolitical climate?
-Anything else you wish you knew about teaching before going in?
Reasons I dislike my job: it is data and spreadsheet heavy. I am regularly dealing with thousands of data points that I did not gather. My job is sedentary. Expectations are unclear and there is little to no training on anything. Very cliquey and unclear communication about very complicated issues.
Reasons I like my job: opportunities to research and learn new things, opportunities to train and coach people, opportunities to write, problem solving, mostly remote hybrid schedule (I know I can’t teach remotely but for a job that actually benefits from in person I would consider giving it up, but wanted to hear from teachers who might think it is better to hold onto the remote work).
Edited to add: thank you so much already for the responses. To give more context: I am in Virginia with a possibility of relocating either to the northeast or Michigan in the future.
Anyone else submit work product that is always just slightly off? Or your understanding of what is going on at work is always just a tiny bit off? In multiple jobs, I have been given feedback or just noticed that what I pick out as important or the work product I submit is just eeeeeever so slightly off. For example: there are two types of task but three different categories. We could approach organization by task or by category. I am more likely to organize things by category when the rest of my organization sees we should organize by task. Another example: I used to be a freelance writer and was working with a business writing articles on a lot of different stuff from lifestyle to legal topics. Eventually I was fired and the feedback I got (which I didn’t get until they fired me) was that my writing was always *just not quite* what they were looking for.
I am starting to worry this is becoming a problem in my current workplace. My peers and superiors are all on the same page and I am always off in the corner focusing on the wrong thing. Whether my focus is good or not, I am always *slightly* missing the mark and I am wondering anyone else struggles with the same and what you do to get on the same page as everyone else at work.
