Hello saints,
I am not here to debate against the Lord’s day meetings but I’m here to ask for guidance. For different reasons I left the church life and I’m slowly coming back in. I am okay with reading and praying with a saint over the phone and recently began meeting in a home meeting, however I dread/fear/panic over the idea of the Lord’s day meetings. I’d like to hear from other people and their experiences.
Hello,
A friend gave me a CD produced by trainees who served in Cal Poky Pomona in the late 2000s/early 2010s (?). I lost my copy a few years ago and I’m trying to find the album. The only song I’ve found online is this one https://youtu.be/9TOQ-ZTx7to?is=fEO8LyNHKudUrZI9
It’s a very beautiful selection of songs. If anyone could please point me in the right direction.
Texts are too long, system is disconnected, disjointed, it operates under magical minutes. Of course we can cover a reading of 12-18 pages in 20 minutes over a period of 4 days. My district has used HMH for a number of years, and 1/3 of our 5th graders read below 3rd grade, 1/3 read at 4th grade and the other 1/3 are at 5th or above. Of course, we’re expected to teach the curriculum with fidelity, but it’s strangling students and teachers. Please, feel free to change my mind.
Hello,
My son was just tested by a specialist and apparently he’s a classic ADHD test. His scores in processing, verbal, spatial/visual awareness are high, but again, working memory is low and a few other things that make him stand out as ADHD. He’s about to turn 5 and I’m planning on putting off medication as long as possible. I judge no one. I’m a teacher and I’ve had students who were diagnosed and clearly benefited from medicine. If your kid has been diagnosed, can you give me any insight into what you’ve done, how you’ve tackled the diagnosis? P.S. I know ADHD is not bad. To me it’s like any other condition.
EDIT: to EVERYONE, thank you for pushing me and asking me what’s my scientific basis for framing my opinion. When it comes to meds, I’m a minimalist. I take my own meds and I believe less is better. I did find a website that takes a nuanced view. https://childmind.org/article/preschoolers-and-adhd/
Just looking for feedback. It was first year back teaching elementary and I kept track of my students’ STAAR scores. My old IC said that you couldn’t compare the 4th grade language arts test to the 5th grade one. Most of my students went from approaches to meets (two got masters). They worked their butts off but I was very intentional (and we had a great team of reading specialists).

I say any family number. I’ve taught pretty much all grade levels and I’ve had middle schoolers and high schoolers not know any number. It’s something that is easily overlooked, but if your child’s phone breaks or they lose it and they need to contact someone, they need to know a number. I had my 4 year old learn my phone number using twinkle twinkle.
Edit: I don’t want anyone to feel judged, I mentioned it because it’s easy for us to forget about the importance of knowing a number, especially if you didn’t grow up with a cellphone.

Hello,
I’m currently a teacher (finished my 13th year) and I’m considering moving into geriatric care. My own parents are aging and I see the huge gap in care and guides for families. Anyone here a former teacher? Would you hesitate to recommend going a getting a Masters in SW? I ask because I don’t want to assume the grass is greener. I know you all have insane workloads.
Just wanted to ask people’s experiences with pets. I have a 5 year old and I’d like to get him a pet but I’m worried about care and cost. Probably will do it later but I was wondering how yall manage with the hours of work, children and caring for a pet. I erroneously thought a guinea pig would be less stress than a dog but after looking into, guinea pigs are pretty costly.
I know this isn’t necessarily professionally related to teaching abroad but I wanted to get people’s input/experience on what your life has been like with working/living abroad and aging parents. I’m from the States and the system here isn’t really geared towards helping our elderly (unless you’re indiscriminately wealthy or planned really well).
I’d like to move to China with my son, but one thing that really concerns me is what would happen to my son if god forbid, something bad happened to me (accident, disease) and he’s on his own. Would it be hard to get him back to the States to his grandparents?

Update: Just wanted to thank everything who has given input. It’s really appreciated.
