@puj_rit @FixingEducation But with the SS reform, I bet the retirements will increase even more now! Any teachers who worked prior careers or had side jobs long enough to earn SS benefits are looking at a completely different retirement now. It has me reconsidering my remaining time in the classroom.

@money_teach @ModestTeacher I have them tonight, should I put out an iPad with tip options for apps and a jar for cash?! 🤣

@musicis26204941 @ModestTeacher I'm lucky that there is so much PD available for content knowledge in my areas of #FinancialLiteracy and #Entrepreneurship. I already have a BSBA in Accounting and an MBA in Marketing.

@ModestTeacher Many of us have practical industry skills that make us great teachers. I'm a business teacher with a BSBA in Accounting & Computer Info Systems, an MBA in Marketing, an MEd in Instructional Technology, and 7 years of experience in the field in addition to my 19 years of teaching!

@Watermans_World @FixingEducation Admins, too. How soon they forget what it was like being in the classrooms with us on a day-to-day basis.

Un anno di italiano! I'm so proud of myself. I wish my grandmother and great-grandmother were still here. They'd give me some real practice! 😊🇮🇹 #duolingo #itsnevertoolate #learnitalian #relearnitalian

@ModestTeacher There's so much packed into a very short few weeks - school deadlines, events for my own child, shopping for gifts, and decorating. I'm exhausted by the time vacation rolls around.

@ModestTeacher I would love to spend time in the Ceramics room and disappear on the wheel for a while. I think it would be very therapeutic. I've taken classes before and miss it!

@JamesAFurey I've done this for years. I'm finding that students now take it the first time to test the waters and see what they really need to study for the 2nd attempt. I need to make a policy change for next semester, I'm just not sure how I want to change it yet

@FixingEducation "self care" ... no one really cares about us. They just tell us to take care of ourselves to make themselves feel better. Do something meaningful to remove the added responsibilities that somehow landed on our plates. That would be a good first step!
