Hey there being new to here I wanted to ask about the research on my school assignment. Its " Effect of carbonated beverages ( soft drink ) on human body " so for this I created a simple survey , so , will I be able to post it here or somewhere else where I can get a decent response
(1) Computer science degree (work as a software developer)
(2) Accounting degree (get CPA and work as CPA)
Which will result in more opportunities and pay in Canada?
I only in the 10th grade and I can’t find myself to be interested in school, I struggle a lot when it comes to it to, I take Honors and AP classes and pass but I can keep myself focused into it. I only enjoy science. My mother keeps getting mad and asks why I’m missing or why I have 70 in classes. I have to tell her I’m sorry, that I’ll work on it. My teachers just give me a paper and say good luck basically. I wished I could learn my own way or find a way to be more focused.
Hello, I'm a 26 male who's been out of school since 2013. I recently have been wanting to start college but I'm worried since I've forgotten a lot of school stuff since it's been almost 10 years. I was looking into medical fields and I have been looking into MRI tech recently but I'm scared if I start college I might end up messing up a lot since it's been a long time. What do you guys recommend that I can do or are there any classes that I can take that would prepare me for college?
What are you doing differently now as a teacher compared to what you did when you first started out?
Hello all, this is going to be a long post so I'm sorry in advance for wordiness. I'll hop right into explaining the situation, then provide my thoughts at the bottom.
--------------------------------------------------------
We have a new executive principal this year who used to work in the junior high, but now works in the high school. He is strict, a bit of a micro-manager, but if you do your job well and do what you're supposed to you never hear from him and he leaves you alone. He's great at enforcing discipline and rules, but seems to have taken it to an extreme at times... at least, in my opinion. We also have a new SPED teacher who just graduated from college and is not familiar with policies, the building, or how to handle certain situations, as she is a brand-new first year teacher.
Earlier in the year, we had a custodian who was always late to work. As the custodians are the only ones with keys to the bathrooms, that meant that all the bathrooms in that wing of the building were locked until she got there. One morning, our SPED teacher had one of her students come up to her asking what restroom to use. He had some medical issues and was taking laxatives suggested by the doctor every morning, and really needed to go but the bathrooms were locked. She walked him to some of the other bathrooms in the wing, but they were all locked. Next, she went to the office to try and ask someone in there what to do/where to go, but nobody was in there. However, the principal's bathroom was there and open, so the student just asked if he could use this one. She said he looked very uncomfortable and upset, so she said yes and let him use it.
The secretary walks in and asks what's happening, when the teacher tells her she starts making a huge deal and saying how she can't do that, students aren't allowed in there, there is no reason for this to happen, etc. Once the student comes out, the secretary was walking past him and made a grossed out "ugh" noise and very blatantly pulled away like she was avoiding touching him as she walked past. Again, the teacher said the student looked very uncomfortable and embarrassed.
Later, the new principal comes down and pulls the teacher out of her classroom to chastise her for letting a student use the restroom. Even given the circumstances, she said he didn't care and was telling her there are rules and policies for a reason and that under no circumstances are students allowed in those restrooms. After he chastises her strictly enough that she said he made her cry (which admittedly could have also been due to high stress of this year and being a first-year teacher in SPED), he then proceeds to pull the student out of class and chastise him in the hallway for going into those restrooms and using them. Basically reiterating the rules and how he's not allowed to do any of that, despite the circumstances, then mentioned how there were bathrooms available in the other wings of the school.
A few days later, once everything had calmed down, he found out that this was happening due to the custodian being late to work and apparently talked to her and told her she has to be here for work at start time, not an hour later than everyone else, since she's the one to unlock the bathrooms.
-------------------------------------------------------
First question I have, is this a normal policy? I know that sometimes there are weird policies that are put in place for a reason, such as maybe keeping adults and children out of the same bathroom or something. So is there some official precedent that makes this incredibly important and that's why he was so adamant?
Second, should I report this? Assuming the first question is yes and there was a valid reason for acting this way, I *cannot* under any means rationalize him pulling the kid who is already mortified out of class to chastise him. The student did exactly what he was supposed to do and asked a teacher for guidance, even though it was a medically induced problem, and did exactly what he was supposed to. If *anybody* was to get in trouble in that situation, it should be the teacher. Now, in the future that student will definitely not ask that teacher for support or guidance anymore, because the last time he did was an incredibly mortifying and embarrassing situation. I don't want to seem overly sensitive about this, it just really sits the wrong way with me that he put this student through this and probably ruined a teacher-student relationship in the SPED department.
I've talked around with other teachers a bit in just a chit-chat way, and it seems like most people know about this and everyone thinks it's wrong but looked the other way because they're intimidated by the new principal. I'm just so unsure what to do or if this is normal. I'm pursuing a career in admin, eventually, and I just don't know if I can do it and turn my head if this is a normal expectation. Any help/advice is appreciated.
I am have been tasked with the following:
Use Academic Search Complete to find a recent newspaper article--one that's available in full-text--about Joe Biden's German Shepherd "Major." Write an MLA-correct bibliographic citation for that article.
For the life of me, I can't find an article meeting the criteria. Can someone help?
I've found myself question the effectiveness of the high school system lately (I'm a teacher in the system btw) and I've been thinking about what could be done to make it better.
One of the flaws I see is that it doesn't adequately (I think teachers might do a lot on an individual level, but systemically this is a flaw) prepare students for the future.
I have found that Work Integrated Learning would be something I'd like to see more of at the high school system. Imagine that there is some form of co-op or internship associated with every course that a student takes in high school, rather than just one or two courses (which are always electives).
Do you think this idea would be feasible? What would be some major obstacles or flaws (beyond the legal side and buy-in from employers)?
I’m a fourth grade teacher and have ten years of experience. I have two bachelors and masters degree. The k-12 public education system is broken and insulting to professionals. Teachers are NOT treated professionally, paid for their expertise, compensated for their time, respected by families and more. What other options do I have for careers? I want to feel that I have purpose and that I can continue to grow and have that be valued.
So, in high school I soared educational wise. I was the president of multiple clubs, I was the Secretary of NHS, I managed multiple events, I was in the year book committee, I even created a few clubs that still stand to this day. Bottom line, I'm looking back educational wise and I soared. Granted I had emotional, mental, and unhealthy stress... if you would call it that. But at least I did good.
Now, I kinda failed college 2 semesters in a row, from 2 different colleges. Before, the only reason the I succeeded was because fear to be physically beaten by my parents drove me to do better. If I got anything lower than an "A" then I would get beaten. Not Black and blue beaten, they would just grab something like a belt, a shoe, a spatula, basically anything that could hurt and smack my arms and legs really hard. They did this until I graduated high school, but they don't do that anymore.
I now realize that there's no physical punishment if I get bad grades and I seemed to not only lack motivation, but I jist don't see the point anymore. Now, I know its my fault for failing, but is it possible that my parents punishments had anything to remotely do with this? I think its a possibility, but I don't trust myself, so yeah.
I just wanna know, is it possible to survive in the states without a degree? I mean, I wanna go to school, but I'm not really in the right mindset to do it and am currently trying to find the motivation for what I wanna do in the future. So... is it possible to survive by myself in the states? Or jist in general
I found this forum and wanted to share my story. I’m 16 years old and have never really had trouble making friends. I’ve never had a best friend or a close friend however that never really bothered me that much until this year when I lost all my friends and have felt so lonely. Im too nice of a person to take up for myself and let people walk right over me and call me names and i don’t do anything about it. I have always had trouble learning in school because I have adhd and learning disabilities which makes school very difficult. This stresses me out because I have never gotten good grades even if I try my hardest so it’s gotten to the point where I don’t try anymore. My grades are too bad and I feel like it’s too late to fix them. Since my grades have been so poor I feel like have no future ahead of me. The teachers have called me names like idiot, moron, worthless, and a failure. This took place at a private Christian school where people think nothing bad happens there. When I was there it was filled with bad influences. School got so stressful for me that I ran away from home and my parents ended up calling the police on me about this. I’ve always felt like a failure because I’ve never had a girlfriend and I have never really accomplished anything huge. I’m not very shy but I’m a very awkward person. There was this one girl at my school that I would talk to every day and I liked her for 3 years. I would go home and think about her all day. After 3 years I decided to make the decision to tell her I like her. After I did that she said she wanted to stay friends and I was fine with that. The next day I came to school her friends were making fun of me and she never talked to me since. After all these events happening I fell into depression and it has ruined my life. I lost all my friends because I don’t even talk to anyone anymore. I have switched schools and it has just gotten me more stressed out and I don’t see me making friends with anyone there because it’s a very small school. I am now taking medicine for this depression I have and it seems to only make me feel worse. I don’t know what to do about this anymore I sure hope I’m not the only one facing stuff like this.
One thing I have an issue with in education is sadly too many students are forgotten and not lifted up to their potential. But the biggest thing is you have these top Ivy League colleges with billions of dollars and endowments . They only take the top 1% of students and use their money , resources and reputations to get them so when they graduate with success they give back to them making them more important and wealthy. But those students were already the top 1% of their schools anyways. They already had straight A’s and would’ve gotten them no matter where they went. Like yeah they got a 4.0 at Harvard but they would’ve gotten a 4.0 at the community college down the street anyways. It’s not impressive . What would really show these are good colleges is if they took struggling students and made them into successes. That is would show they are good colleges with good professors and that they can make an impact educationally and change students lives. Like not even the bottom of the class but even just average students and make them better . But if they could make a 2.0 high school student who’s motivated for this opportunity into a 4.0 college graduate that would be impressive and that would be showing they’re a top school.
I have a friends whos kid age 10 was kicked out of school for bad verbal and physical behavior. She now has learned he has ADHD, DMDD, Tourette's and maybe Autistic (Waiting on a test) What resources do parents have and do schools reconsider letting the kid back to school after diagnosis? What are her other options? I don't think the district offers home schooling anymore.
How do you study for the New York Content Speciality Test's Multi Subject Test, Math and English language Arts?
I am an aspiring teacher, hoping to get some insight and assistance with regards to the exams I have to take. I was able to knock some out, via a textbook. But now I'm stuck on the big one, which is the content speciality tests. For me, since I'm pursuing a special education degree, that'll be the multi subject tests, which is mathematics and English language arts. I'm a bit confused with how I should study. I'm used to studying with a textbook, but these tests demonstrate a wide range of information that students I'll be teaching in high school should cover, from grades 7 to 12. So it's a content test, as opposed to a knowledge. I need to essentially have a foundational knowledge of 6 years of schooling in both subjects, but be prepared to take it in less than 3 months and pass.
Does anyone have any resources or tips for passing on the first try?
do art rooms still have guillotine trimmers?
I'm thinking about applying for three scholarships.
If I get the scholarships accepted, does it mean that I can use the resources that the three scholarships provide?
Or can a person use only one?
I've recently joined Alevels and take science subjects. I have had 2 chemistry tests thus far and have scored incredibly low. Are there any study methods that anyone could suggest, especially for ALevels?

I have come across a great Science and Engineering channel on YouTube this week! It has great content about facts and information that you never would have thought about. This was one of the first clips I saw asking if a rocket can deliver the mail. Here is the link if you would like to see it too - youtube.com/watch?v=bwP8nGaBppw 🚀

Upon graduation, do you ever call your former educators by their first name?
As an aspiring teacher, it seems odd to be called by my last name. But I know once I'm in the classroom this will be the norm. I'm usually quick to turn wit if I hear my first name. How long was that adjustment to getting used to being called Mr. Last name? Additionally, if you graduated from high school, or university, do you ever find it appropriate to call your former educator, or teacher by their first name?
I've always struggled with school a lot, especially when it comes to comprehension. It's to the point where not only did I not finish a single section (especially the reading section), but earlier this year I had to stop reading a book because I added up how long it was taking me to read, and it took me at least three hours to read only 50 pages!
The reason I'm really interested in getting accommodations for school is that I've done significantly above average in all of my required standardized testings. But now that everything is becoming more complicated, I'm needing more and more time to process what I'm supposed to do. So while I have the potential to do better at school, I can't as easily since my mind is just really slow. I'm always the last person to finish a test, besides with math at least, and I need to take much more time out of my day to study and do homework than all of my peers.
If you'll have any advice on what I should do about this, it would be greatly appreciated. And if ya know any other places where I should post this, that would be very useful too. thx c:
My professor asked me to help him order a bunch of “stuff” (toys) for our electronics/robotics lab. We have already ordered just about everything worthwhile from Sparkfun + Adafruit and have a bunch of money left over.
We already have both SLA and filament 3D printers, small industrial 6-axis robotic arm, large Kuka arm, sensors (photo + optics, IMUs, all sorts of digital + analog basic sensors, LiDAR), and some actuators (servos, steppers, DC, some pneumatics (not enough), solenoids, some linear actuators), and some building materials/hardware.
I need to order from somewhere that accepts POs (purchase orders) and is a reputable supplier. I also need to order everything from at most 2-3 suppliers.
Aside from that I have a lot of freedom to decide what to get.
Some thoughts are: - building materials (aluminum extrusion, more printer material) - an open sourced robotic arm - open sourced arial drone kits or materials to experiment there - some sort of satellite related kits or components (the program is going to launch a satellite in the next couple years and this could be an opportunity to get learning/starter materials for that project - new and fun sensors - lots of actuators (pneumatic, hydraulic, nice servos, etc) - digital + audio displays - RF equipment - lot of micro controllers - ~20+ RPi 4s
It would be cool to get a bunch of little components and a few bigger more expensive toys.
I’d really appreciate help on where to buy from and any ideas of what to purchase.

What micro-changes have you made to your teaching practice, and what effects did they have?
Hello, fellow scholars. In this pressure of studying/working. We need a place for relaxing/chilling/studying. So, i have created a discord server for students and people interested in discussing various topics. We can relax a bit and discuss about various topics of the world and do debates, you can also help others by solving there study problems and even clear your doubt by others. You can make homies here so.......yes this a study server.
Discord server:- https://discord.gg/tpndjEjNP2
Let's see how many scholars we can get
Will be waiting for you!!
Would you say your students are curious? If Yes, what type of questions do your students typically ask and how do you answer them? If No, why do you think they are not curious.
With mandates comes decisions and consequences! My decision is that I am leaving higher education to teach online to homeschoolers and people who want to reach higher levels of success in communication and public speaking skills.
My passion for teaching common sense skills and practical application of life skills, rather than just theory, is high! I would love to start a discussion with anyone else who faces dismissal or non-renewal of contracts with universities and colleges due to mandates that make no sense or hold validity.
See you online soon!
In my ever shrinking faith in society, I seclude myself to the room, dreaming of a society, searching a society of houses and not of socialized production, of socialized work and of socialized teaching. Not having any degree, any credentials, I reject the offer of being given an education, because I cannot subscribe to the society I live in. Imagining a person call educated, my eyes darken, yet in despair I find out, that the right to be un-educated has ceased to exist. If I refused education, I would live the earth as a dinosaur, an extinguished species, and the thaught scares me. The first modern human I wanted to be, and ended up becoming the last ancient one. I open the map, and the only thing I find, that no country has place for the uneducated man, I despair, read open the book, close it again. Why should I?
Okay, this started as a comment on another thread, but it ballooned out. I’m going loose-and-fast with education history, so I’d love corrections or additions.
My general question is how did we (US education system) have such promising educational ideas in the early 20th century, but abandon them so thoroughly?
I recently read an interview with one of those award-winning Finns who just shrugged and said, “You all came up with the ideas: we just made sure they got done.”
(I’m paraphrasing into Texan.)
Here’s my thoughts on what happened:
What’s crazy is the US (and the world at large)had the same conversation about project-based education literally a hundred years ago. Folks like Dewey and Montessori (yes, that Montessori) promoted more of a student-led, active education. And there was a surprising amount of buy in!
What went wrong?
Some blame the Russians. Sputnik caused a back-to-basics panic. That same panic still happens to a lesser degree whenever a count state or school drops in the ranking of tests.
Others just say that the expense of student-directed, project-based schooling couldn’t scale up as primary and secondary education became more de facto universal. Kids coming out of the fields and the factories increased the school-going population just as the population began to swell from looser immigration and increased birth rates. The US didn’t keep pace with spending because…Sputnik, really, I guess.
Meanwhile, the wage difference between teachers and non-teachers ballooned. As the US became a globally competitive economic superpower, people simultaneously had access to professions and labor markets that had been excluded. Think about the one-room schoolhouse on the frontier; The school teacher (and maybe the librarian) was the most prestigious and well paid job a woman could hold. But with the rise of the cities and the railroad, now she could go be a secretary or a saleswoman or any number of early 20th-century lady-jobs. The flight was even faster and more pronounced for male teachers.
Even today, the US, compared to other countries, doesn’t actually pay that poorly: but they pay much, much less than other professions. That means that if you teach, especially in fields like science or math, you losing a significant premium against the job you could have. That means the “real world” is mighty tempting and teaching labor is susceptible to mass resignations if they have to put up with crap. (This has recently happened with COVID—record numbers of teachers retiring or changing professions.) The result is a perpetual staffing problem. More than 50% of teachers leave the profession within five years. Most teachers now only have a couple of years of experience. They are over-worked and under compensated and it’s almost impossible for administration and teachers to think about doing project-based learning for 7 periods of 30+ children every day under such conditions.
I think if you asked 100 parents, teachers and administrators if they would rather “drill and kill” or do project-based learning, most of them would like to focus on projects, but with testing expectations and funding pinches, it just doesn’t seem possible.
Hi everybody! I have a lot of questions, because I'm an International student and I didn't have an "essay culture" as you have.
Do you grade your own essays before handing it to your professor? Do they give the rubric for this assignment?
Any tips for doing that?
Oh, one more — have you ever given your essay to some professional or any service before posting it?
I think, I would like to have some side-professor who will pre-check my works, so I can be confident in my grades, what do you think?
This is an article about a Heritage Foundation study Equity Elementary: “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” Staff in Public Schools
An analysis of student test-score data shows that employing a chief
diversity officer (CDO) in K–12 school districts does not contribute
to closing achievement gaps and is even likely to exacerbate those
gaps. If CDOs are not accomplishing their stated goals, what is
accomplished by creating these positions? CDOs may be best understood
as political activists who articulate and enforce an ideological
orthodoxy within school districts. They help to mobilize and
strengthen the political influence of one side. The creation of CDOs
tilts the political playing field against parent and teacher efforts
to remove the radical ideology of critical race theory and other
illiberal ideals from school curricula and practices.
Hello everyone,
Myself and a group of other commerce and engineering students from UBC are looking for teachers who would be willing to participate in a quick 15-20 minute interview to help validate some pain points in the teaching industry for our product development course.
If you would be available to participate please contact me or leave a comment! Thanks 🙂
School is like a 100 year old factory, with makeshift repairs, and additions like technology bolted on with tape and nails. Within it there’s an assembly line that moves kids along a converbelt regardless of the circumstances of that kid, dumping dusty books of standardized knowledge, while verbally and psychologically punishing them when they fall behind, socialize at the wrong time, or fail to conform to the rules.
I don't accept this handling of future people. (United States) Public schools may as well be taking the people of the future, shoving them into white rooms and psychologically torturing them as kids.
I worked as a child care aid at an elementary school, and the totalitarian power dynamic between the kids and faculty devastated my soul everyday. I saw the fear circuits running in their head, the potential, ideas, and dreams of kids being crushed, as they were yelled at to be quiet, stay put, and do your tasks, everyday, without question.
It's more than neglect and mistreatment.
It's psychological abuse.
Nationwide abuse of our future people.
48 Million Kids, right now, are under the daily control of some random people who just played the college game, in a 100 year old factory, with the main focuses of educating being memorization of info (easily found on the internet), compliance, and conformity.
How has this child abuse and destruction of potential remained ignored?
In this country where topics of social justice, fear of authoritarian control, and innovation are such prevalent discussions; why of all things, is the main method trusted to develop minds, still a fucking 100 year old totalitarian factory that abuses kids?
Hello everyone! We are gathering data for our research about the implementation of face-to-face or in-person classes during this pandemic. We are looking for 50 participants (particularly some students around the world) to answer our survey. Your cooperation would be helpful to support our study. Thank you and have a nice day!😘❤️
Link to our survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScIpNkNGeuCiSpz6kIGXsyzAdu6bci3aRjTR9ayhaJCiEGALw/viewform?fbclid=IwAR3YwmBIFj9Urg-Elruxguvxbnqq6I_RNSVpOvHORESgcsFG_OUD22Gi0F8
Within the next 10 years I plan to finish two bachelors and a master. The bachelors will be in Europe and the master in the US most probably.
Would It be better to do the BA/Economics first and get a good analytics job (I have years of workforce coding experience), and then start my second bachelor in Physics or Engineering? Or is it better vice versa?
To me, with the recent surge of online teaching and classes, I felt like that the current will eventually "need" to adjust, not that I specifically want that university or whatnot are getting "obsolete", but we are in a such good technological place that we can have teaching for a fraction of the price. Because I guess, why hire a teacher for several years to just repeat his curriculum every 6 months, why pay for such big structural systems where there a lot of job that are not as necessary. Or pay just to even have a physical location. Why such location and "prestige" could impact your life without you knowing it. I am kinda happy to only paying 3k$ in canada or so per semester when I see 20k+$/per year for big US universities. I wondering what are going to be the changes, i think its a huge challenge because most people working for Uni dont want to lose their jobs, and that there more and more students requiring more and more accommodations or special programs. People with autism, adhd or such I feel like the current learning is still stuck with the same mentality and idea from 100 years ago. Its just all about learning specific skill in time, stress management and self discipline with rigid way to test you.
Hello everybody, I’m a grade 12 student in Canada. I’m interested in supply chain management like retailing, I’m planning to apply to either York University Bcom, major in supply chain or GBC 3 year supply chain management program with 1 year required work experience. They both take me 4 year to complete, the difference is I’ll get a degree at York, but an advanced diploma at GBC. I know that a degree is worthier than a diploma but smh I feel like a degree is too extra and wasteful for a supply chain management position, especially when I’d have to start off as a small position anyway. Does degree - diploma that much matter? I heard my friend said HR people would prefer a candidate with a degree (assuming all candidates have no work experience) is that true?
I'm trying to see if I can create a system of summarizing information that hits the critical information while leaving out things that aren't pivotal to the main text.
Something that is constructed in such a manner that the reader(examiner) would fill out the excess in their head while reading this However I lack the necessary skill to accomplish this so I'm seeking assistance from a professional
Is this possible?
If so, please PM me and I'll give you an example of what I'm trying to summarize

I’m searching for a remote elementary school for my 7 year old bilingual (English/Spanish) child. We live in rural Ecuador and the local school isn’t going to cut it. Our current online school has been adequate but they are reverting to in person classes soon and they’re located too far away. Is there a good list of online elementary schools someone could point me towards or any affordable suggestions? Unfortunately, money is an issue.
Currently in 11th grade and dual enrolling at my local community college. Have a high GPA with taking AP classes and getting A's. My mom always puts a lot of pressure and stress on me to get all A's but is it really that important. Would a B in a few classes really hurt my GPA and chances of getting into a decent college that much? Sometimes the classes just feel useless and I wonder why I am even doing the work.
Learning is a result of listening, which in turn leads to even better listening and attentiveness to the other person. In other words, to learn from the child, we must have empathy, and empathy grows as we learn.
I would like to know if there is a platform for teaching students where the students can't privately message the teacher. They can only ask questions publicly, whether it be on a public post like a forum, a virtual meeting or something along these lines.

Hey guys, I don't know if anyone is interested but I started a podcast talking about the mental health surrounding young adults, personally being a student, I wanted to talk about all the burnouts and stress we endure on the daily basis. I speak about depression, anxiety, loneliness, mental exhaustion and positive affirmations. it's helped a lot of people on my campus and I was hoping to spread the message here, here's a link if you will like to check it out: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN5SpmvW8aXeZNdC93mZKgg
Hey everyone. I've posted a lot here on reddit over the years about teaching with video games. I'm the founder of Hey Listen Games where I make all of my gaming lesson plans and curriculum available for free. You all have been nothing but supportive in my endeavors and I've heard back from many teachers here on reddit about how they have gone and tried some of my lessons.
Well, I just recently published two books on teaching with video games. The first one, “Teaching With Video Games: A Strategy Guide” is your introduction to game based learning. It contains 27 different lessons and games you can do with your students. The second one, “Teaching With Video Games: An English Language Arts Unit” is a more in depth 30 day unit you can use in your class using the games Edith Finch and Gone Home. It’s my favorite unit each year. Included is a full breakdown of how the unit went in my class.
Here is a link to a breakdown of each book and links to places to buy them if you are interested. If not, no worries at all! Take a look around Hey Listen Games and see if you can find any content on the site itself that may help you. And always feel free to reach out! I love helping teachers get started using video games in their classes.
I would like to reach out to people in tech, such as software engineers and developers, QA testers, data scientists, etc. to ask about their career paths and what the career/job is like. I know I could ask on a subreddit but I think 1 on 1 conversations have their own advantages as well.

Hey everyone. I am currently in grade 11 and struggling with circle geometry. Any advice?
Teachermade is an application that you can use to turn paper assignments into digital.
I have a student who has suffered her fourth concussion. I have had many other students who have had similar injuries in recent years, including one who underwent a personality change with significant cognitive losses. I have students who are excused from class after class to travel long distances for events, meets and games, and who are stressed over falling behind in their academic work. The district spends about 2% of its budget (not counting infrastructure maintenance and transportation) on these and other extracurriculars, even though it is not a majority of secondary students who participate. It all seems a bit too much. Yet I can't even raise the issue without expecting a storm of protest over it.
Not sure if this is the right sub for this, if not, I apologize. I am a Behavior Interventionist with a BCAT (I provide Applied Behavior Analysis to kids/teens with Autism) and I am looking at other job possibilities because it is very hard to get consistent hours with ABA. I am wondering if there are any jobs in the school system that don't require a degree/for you to be a teacher that my qualifications and background may be good for. Thank you in advance!

I plan on going to university in the USA. I know I can get credited for some of the classes that I have done, but I am not sure if what I have is considered AP classes or honors classes.
I know I chose the hardest option, but I don't know which is the equivalent. Can anyone help me?
Thanks!
Hey y’all, i’m currently a Senior in high school and i’m scared of what my future has in store. I have come to the crumbling realization that my stats from school aren’t good enough for any good college. I fucked up badly, I have an 2.4 Gpa and a 1060 SAT. I regret taking so many AP classes and not working hard enough. What are some steps I can take to go to college and show that I will work my ass off. Please help, thank you.
Hi everyone I was told by my daugters kindergarten teacher that she is reading at a second grade level. I was wondering what books you would recommend to me to help challenge her or what advice you would give to me on how to keep her positively driven.
Thank you for your help.
Help us Understand First-Gen students!
I am conducing a research study that is investigating how different mindsets among first-generation college students can influence their success in college and in the workplace. If you are a first-generation college student, you are eligible to participate in the study. By participating in the study, you will have the opportunity to help researchers understand the best ways to prepare first-gen students for success in the classroom and in the workplace after they graduate. The survey should take 15 - 20 minutes to complete and has been approved by the University of Southern Mississippi’s IRB Office (IRB-20-503).

Hello! I'm a recent graduate (BA in Environmental Studies) considering getting my master's in Environmental Education. I'd love to know if anyone has a master's degree in this focus area and if so, why you liked your program or didn't. A simple pros/cons list would be so helpful! There are so many universities I'm looking at right now and it's all a bit overwhelming :/
1) What is the hardest educational problem you've faced in your career and what was your approach to resolve it?
2) What is the most common educational problem that you've faced in your career and what was your approach to resolve it for the long-term?
Can someone please give me some ideas or help. Thanks

I am very interested in curriculum and material design both in general and specifically in adult ESL contexts. I have a lot of free time at the moment (I'm not working much due to a chronic health condition flaring up) and so would love to use this time to learn more about curriculum/material design in general. I have several books on the topic that are considered foundational in the ESL world, but I'd like to learn more about the topic in general. Any suggestions?
These data walls or classroom management systems vary by name but typically use points or some kind of classroom currency. If a system like this is used as a consequence for behaviors, and a teacher displays the list of student names along with how many points or bucks they have lost without parental permission, I can't see how this wouldn't be considered student discipline data that should be covered by FERPA. Yet these systems are commonplace, especially in lower grades.
For context, an elementary school in our county (in Georgia, USA) uses a "debit card" that has ten"bucks" starting every Monday. Students lose bucks at a teacher's discretion, and the list of student names with the number of bucks they have left and how many they have lost is shared with the classroom. This effectively displays a ranking of the kids from best to worst for behavior. these bucks are exclusively used punitively. Once a certain number is lost there is a series of consequences ranging from isolation during lunchtime to a hard write-up. There is no tiered or leveled system for consequences. This means that the student who loses ten bucks for talking could have the same consequence as a child who loses an equal number of bucks for being aggressive to other students, or cheating, or any other number of other offenses without distinction. Since there is no standard for how this system is implemented, some teachers don't use it at all, but a strict teacher can result in disciplinary actions that are permanently on a student's record.
A start-up I work for is developing a Zoom add-on app that joins online meetings as a visible participant and organizes them by displaying sections, keeping time, offering tools such as picking a random person or people in order, timer, icebreakers etc. We mostly considered it for business use but recently thought of branching out into the world of teaching. So if any of you are teachers and deal with online classes or workshops, would be interested in something like that, and if so what features would be most useful for you? We aim to eliminate the mundane and trivial details that make you lose focus. I would be grateful for some insight.
Hello!
I'm a Communications major at San Diego State University and I'm doing an interview for one of my major classes. My research question is "How can we integrate Tiktok as an educational tool for students?" I'm looking for middle and high school teachers.
It will take 20-30 minutes and it is completely anonymous. If you would like to participate, please direct message me your email for further instructions.
For context, I'm working on a project about restraint and seclusion in schools, school resource offices, unequal discipline of racial minorities and students with disabilities, and the school to prison pipeline. What I'm trying to find information on now is cultural attitudes about adults' right to control children and how power dynamics can influence discipline practices, and other research along those lines.
Could anyone suggestion a direction to get me started on researching that topic? I've tried searching stuff like "adultism" and "children's rights movement" but it hasn't yielded much. I specifically do NOT want research about parent-child relationships/discipline -- I'm looking for info about how this plays out in schools. I think I could also use research involving caregivers or direct support professionals in behavioral/mental health treatment facilities as well, since that is the other setting where restraint and seclusion is used.
If anyone has links to research papers or anything I'd appreciate that, but even just some suggestions about search terms I might use as a jumping off point would be super helpful.

Hello,
IN NY state (I don't know if IEP's are consistent across states) we have a section that states Academic, developmental and functional needs of the student, including consideration of student needs that are of concern to the parent " as a section title. In there I have always put the information I have received from the parent. I put anything else "Student is able to complete x with y%, student needs ABC" in the Pleps section to base goals on. However, this year I am on a new team and they put all student details in the section under the section in question.
So, long story short: What goes in the above section - just parent-given information,or do I put all Plep based information there?
Thanks
Hi guys,
Not sure if this is the proper subreddit for my question. I was wondering how different education systems are valued for international job seeking. Coming from the US or UK employers tend to know about the strength of the applicants, but what about other system. How easy is it to get a job abroad if your coming from other education systems, such as Netherlands, Scandinavia, Germany, Japan etc.? How do people see these education systems without big names like Oxford or Harvard? (Ignore any practical experience)
I got out of high school and started off renovating a couple of houses full-time for my friend's Dad, it wasn't serious and lasted about 5 months. I quickly realized that I couldn't keep doing it, and I didn't want to just jump into a low-wage job out of high school that I would never really move out of so I enrolled at a Community College. At first, I was going to get an associate in general education, but I switched my degree to an AA after a semester or two because the only career options that sounded good were being a teacher or musician ( I play the guitar and sing).
The advisors at this CC were pretty shit but I never really put much effort into finding things out myself ngl, the whole thing sort of felt like I was enrolling just to be working towards SOMETHING instead of jumping into a shitty job. Fast forward to now and I've decided I really don't wanna be a teacher, it really hit me when I went to get an auto inspection and saw my old history teacher working as a mechanic over the summer that a salary of around $35,000 was not shit, I also don't want to go through two more years of school while a lot of my friends are already moving out and getting their own apartments. I figured being a CC professor and the $50,000 salary that comes with it might be worth getting a bachelors until I figured out that you need a masters, which is beyond me because I swear I could teach those classes with zero formal education, it seems SO easy. Also learned I could make the same salary working full time for the damn post office which requires practically zero experience.
So is an AA worth anything other than transferring to obtain a bachelors? I assume the only perk is that it might look decent on your resume. I suppose even if I don't get anything out of it, one plus for me is that I'd be the first person in my entire family to earn a degree. At the same time though, my Dad is a general contractor and when the market isn't complete shit he can make like $60,000 in half a year and not do shit for the rest of the year if he wants to. I think I should've just gotten a technical degree and stuck with welding or something.
I remember in highschool we were taught to look out for bias to see where the author stands. I tend to look for center bias or scientifically biased things as a way to navigate was is "accurate" i suppose.
I think of it like this:
A customer calls to complain about a restaurant to the corporate officr about their item that was left at this specific location. It was stolen during a break in and they havent been able to reach out and they blame the manager being no help.
Later the manager states the cops were investigating and told both the store and customer that the store is not responsible..something that the customer more than likley intentionally left out for their sake of getting their stolen item paid for.
But idk
My partner and I are trying to find a school for our kindergartener. I was wondering if anyone had insight into what questions to ask during informational nights or to other parents that would help us select a great school? Maybe something more expansive than are you happy!
Hello friends!
I am prepping to teach High School math (Algebra and Geometry) and I was wondering if any of my fellow math teachers have curriculum recommendations? I am familiar with EngageNY (which Eurika is based on, I believe) but I have been looking into Illustrative Mathematics.
Is anyone familiar with IM? If not, do you have a favorite curriculum that is rigorous and solid?
Thanks so much.
I'm not sure if this is the correct subreddit for this but I'll go ahead and put it in here anyways.
I have questions about getting into college. Right now I go to a high school that offers only honors and above classes(a stem high school). I am a sophomore taking junior and senior level classes. I'm making all A's and have a B in math. I'm worried that I won't get into the college i want. I don't know how much the b in math will affect my chances. If it helps, i could say my sat and act scores. I just really want to get into a good college.
Looking for suggestions for post-classroom employment. I'm falling apart and need to get out ASAP. Thanks!

Hi guys!
A free Chrome extension came to me. It’s called Markup. I’ve been using it for a while. Before Markup, I’ve tried Kami as well. Even though Kami is a very helpful application, I have only utilized some of its basic functions. Paying for partial features isn't an ideal way for me. That’s the reason I stick with Markup now.
Markup provides my class and me with a collaborative platform. Mostly, I share additional materials for them to read. My students can also create their own clipboard on Markup, which allows them to share information with others. Markup really keeps our class creative and productive!
I think it's a good way to help students learn how to organize team works without any budget requirement. : )
Hello there, I'm Harsh Vadhiya, pursuing my Final year in Bachelor's in Technology.
I passed all of my previous year with high CGPA, but due to covid situation I'm not financial able to pay my last year fees.
If I won't pay them fees they could rusticate me, I won't be able to place in a company because of the fees.
Please help me it's for my life. Your help will be your blessings to me, Please dm me who genuinely wants to help a bright student for the future. Thanks.
I've noticed this trend oftentimes. It could be different for other counties and places, but particularly where I live this tends to be a thing . . . Being alienated because you go to a college for post-secondary instead of university.
I’m currently 3 semesters away from graduation and have pretty shitty advisors. When asking about grad schools and careers tracks for my degree my advisor basically just told me to “figure it out”. I’ve been looking at things like HR, school psychology, and even clinical psych but I’m not sure where to start. Any advice?
I’m also open to non-psych related careers, as long as my degree is still useful. ie, something in cs that doesn’t necessarily need a cs degree, just a degree itself.
I’m currently an associate preschool teacher who’s in college studying education (20yr old Sophomore), and I’ve seen so many people say that the teaching field is terrible and not worth it, that they’re quitting. I’ve been so conflicted about what I want to do, I’ve always wanted to be a teacher at an elementary but I’ve been looking at some other careers lately just to see my options. Child Life Specialist has caught my eye and seems almost perfect, does anyone know anything/have advice about this field? It seems like something I’d love to do, working with children/families in a hospital. I know it’s very competitive but is it worth it? Is it better than teaching elementary? Would I have to change my major or could I just do Education and Psych? Any advice would be appreciated!
I currently have a Bachelors degree in community and human services. I’m interested in returning to school for my masters degree. I would really prefer online school as I work full time and have 2 children. I know I don’t want to pursue a social work degree but I’m looking for some reputable online college programs. Any help would be appreciated!

Hello all, I was hoping someone here might help me. I came across a podcast with the author of "Affect Theory and Comparative Education Discourse", Irving Epstein, and enjoyed hearing about the idea of Affect Theory, though I am left a bit confused. I have read a few explanations but still feel lost. Has anyone read this book, or does anyone understand affect theory in the context of education who can explain it to me?
Thanks!
Hello all, I’m a 27 year old male, full time Job.
I graduated high school in 2012. Went to college for 2 years accumulated about 20 credits with a GPA average of below 1.00 due to stupidity and never attending classes. I got academically dismissed twice from community college in 2014.
It’s been nearly 7-10 years since I’ve stepped in a classroom or attended any form of education. My dream has always been to graduate from a University. I’m 1 of 3 children and the only to not finish college which has always led to depression and not feeling good enough and as a disappointment. Both my brother attended IV league colleges.
My question is the following, is there anyway I can apply to college almost nearing my 30s as a fresh, brand new student? Possibly start college with a fresh GPA like new. I don’t know how I can ever recover from a GPA that is under 1.0. Or I feel embarrassed showing any previous educational history. Again mostly due to me just never attending classes and massing a bunch of F’s or ‘not complete’ courses.
I would love to to begin a new journey to a degree and fulfill this shallow empty feeling I’ve always had. It’s been nearly 10 years and I’m a complete different person with motivation and determination to obtain a degree. Thank you for your time.
Do you still need a portfolio to enter an art related course at uni if you are doing foundation year? Sorry if this is a dumb question haha
You are Chief Officer of The Milwaukee Board of School Directors. Due to changing demographics, school-age children have declined and will decrease even more in the next ten years. Difficult decisions have to be made regarding the efficient use of public resources. The favoring option is to close a school in one of the city areas and merge it with another, larger school. The larger school has good physical resources and sufficient capacity to accommodate the incoming students but is located within an area of socio-economic deprivation.

My children's schools recently adopted the mandatory chromebooks-for-everyone policy. So naturally there has been a shift towards using online activity platforms.. I've been helping my youngest son through some of his middle school assignments and I'm surprised to see just how many inline targeted ads are just floating around his screen while trying to learn.
Is this commonplace for children in a modern education system?
Hi. I'm currently in the last year of high school and I'm searching for a bachelor's degree to continue my education.
For some time I was thinking to take computer science studies but now i realised that I would probably not enjoy this course because I think I would't enjoy coding on computer all day long.
I noticed that I really enjoy working with digital media. I like working with cameras and other types of technologies and I love the atmosphere of various events where I work as technical staff and I believe that I'm quite a fast learner in that field. I also sometimes like to use some of the Adobe suite software like Photoshop or After effects.
Do you have any suggestions what bachelor's program could I study? I believe that I should study something involving computers because I'm also really keen on technologies and computer stuff but I wouldn't like for it to be just a "dry" education.
If you have seen some bachelor's courses in EU (for example in the Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium ect) that would fit me, I would be really thankful if you would suggest me those.
I don't know if this makes any sense but I would like to hear your opinion.
Thanks
Hi guys. Now this might sound absurd but I wish to publish a paper in a field unrelated to my degree in order to improve my chances in bagging a scholarship. I was a CS undergraduate and I graduated in 2021 with a university second rank. Now, the deal is, I realized that working in the CS field is boring to me and I've always had the passion and aptitude for the creative arts field. I never got to pursue an undergraduate degree in art/design because of financial constraints. But, I am planning to pursue a Master's in it if I can land a scholarship. Now, the problem is, due to the fact that I'm switching fields, I feel like my application would be incredibly weak. And the only way I have ahead of me is through publishing a paper. Now hear me out, I'm willing to go through hoops and loops to get it published, and I have a topic in mind too. The only problem is that I don't know where to start. Can somebody help me understand the process and how I can be successful in this endeavour that almost seems like a Herculean task?

I started at business school and my info mgmt track led me to take a comp sci class. I liked it a lot and went on to continue studying comp sci and I’m taking data structs now. I’m a junior and I find comp sci to be way more interesting than business so I want to pursue a degree in comp sci. I’m basically done with my business requirements and all of the remaining classes I have for business are comp sci related (python, data analysis etc). Would it be insane for me to try to pursue a comp sci degree on top of business?
I would be willing to stay in school longer because I realize that business is not as interesting as comp sci. I was just thinking about how if I have to spend the rest of my life in this career it would be worth it to spend an extra year or more in college to get the career that I want.
I know it’s really expensive but I think that the extra time will give me more experience with software and allow me to build better connections in the industry. Otherwise I’m afraid I would be stuck with some boring business career and always regret not getting into the tech industry. Is this completely insane to change my career this late in college or should I just YOLO it?
For the first time in 15 years I’m applying for a position, outside my old district in a smaller rural town.

I’m currently a paraprofessional at an elementary school. I work in a classroom focused on autism. I can’t decide if I want to go to school to be an SLP, special education teacher, or school counselor. I’m sure once I get farther into my education I’ll have more of an idea but I’d like some advice. :) Tell me the pros, cons, stories you have, anything! I know for sure I want to do one of these 3 things. I love working with children, ESPECIALLY the behavioral ones. I love love love one on one interactions & I truly have a passion for this type of career. I am very calm and patient with these kids and my current students absolutely adore me. Not to toot my own horn but I really would say I am excelling where I’m at now. Lmk guys! :)
I teach 11-12th grade Chemistry and Environmental Science. I have always been one to advocate for student autonomy and the "self-driven learning is the best education" pedagogy, which has lead me to the mastery learning tactic. This year (2.5 months in) I have seen the obvious and expected issue of student negligence and lack of motivation. For those familiar with the mastery learning strategy, how does an instructor turn this attitude around? Is full autonomy strictly out of the equation (i.e. is scaffolding required given the inherent failings of the American education system)? Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
For tomorrow I'll be doing an entrance aptitude test, I have already done a couple and did well enough (IQ, where I got a 119 and a highschool entrance test where I got a 77), but never great. It will be 40 math questions (I'm the most prepared for math, would be surprised if missed two or more) and 30 reading comprehension ones, so any tips about either one would help. I have already done practise tests and did well enough to pass the real one, but I'm nervous and I don't think I'm fully prepared to pass it without trouble (maybe I would give myself like 80% chances or a little more). This test is to get into the best highschool in my country (Costa Rica) and it has been my dream to get there for the last year. Again, any tip or help of any kind would mean a lot.
Due to the pandemic, with the school being a bit behind. I’m wanting to supplement my kid’s education and I’m looking for a pc based learning program that is t webbased (require internet) that I can get to help. Any one know of any education apps I can buy for a pc? Thanks for any help…
I'll start by giving some context. I'm a software guy and I recently decided to develop a small ERP solution for a government-aided school (<500 students) for no cost. And now a lot of other schools have been asking for the same. The commercial ERP solutions are pretty straightforward.
So the question I have is, is there a practical benefit for ERP solutions, if so how and why is such a necessity, not an Open-Source Software already?
I am a substitute teacher for art classes. The previous teacher had zero lesson plans and all she did was give kids pages out of highlights magazines to color & do image search.

Hey guys! I decided to keep making introductory videos that can be used either as introductions or refreshers of various topics in Physics. This time, I tackled freefall, gravity, and acceleration.

As always, I'm grateful for any ideas and propositions for topics I could cover next. If you can think of some ways to improve what I've done already, I'd love to hear them, too!
Hey guys! I decided to keep making introductory videos that can be used either as introductions or refreshers of various topics in Physics. This time, I tackled freefall, gravity, and acceleration. I threw in some science history, with sir Isaac Newton and Galileo Galilei's experiments, too. I wanted to ask if you consider this kind of resource useful, and if you have any recommendations for other things you like to use when teaching this subject?

I see an increasing amount of people, even in their 40s/50s with families and jobs, getting their next degree (usually an MS or above). I'm 26 and a little over halfway done with a BS in CS while I work (I originally got a vocational AAS so I'm quite behind on college), are people just going to have to adapt to constant college from now on? For instance, nursing is a field where the degree has essentially been escalated from an AS to a BSN, with an MSN seemingly required for admin or managemenr roles. Other fields seem to be following suit, although a BS in a STEM field still seems fairly sufficient for most roles.
Are people of both white and blue collars just going to have to accept continuing college throughout their lives? While I love classes and like the progression of college, the reality is that it is a huge time, energy, and money sink. What are your thoughts on whether this is happening or not and any affects it could have?
In my school, I'm alone. No one ever started grade 1 with EFL kids entirely online while trying to keep up the curriculum. Last August we were spared from lockdowns. This year, we'll spend 5/9 months learning online.
We do what we can in the class as a group, but we have to do some independent practice. You know how it is, the ahead kids answer everything quickly and the others just chime in and follow. I can call on the behind kids, but behind kids are pretty slow and the ahead kids have no patience for it.
I'm using Quizizz to review spelling and vocabulary words. This is the perfect solution for the majority of the class. The most ahead kids love it because they get top scores. The behind kids don't mind it much, because it's a challenge but they can do it and it feels good. It's the kids near the top, who can't quite win, who get mad, and complain.
Our school selected Microsoft Teams, so children can unmute themselves to complain whenever they want. Kids complaining is more infectious than covid...I need to motivate them, but with what?
What are some rewards or tools I can offer to motivate 6-year-olds?
Many of you have been through this in the past, share what you learned the hard way.
I'll pay it forward one day.
I want to get a bachelors degree but I don’t want it to take years.
I'm looking to get my associates degree in information technology. I want to get this degree online only. I have a bachelors in communication currently. My question is how about picking the right college to go to. Alot of people say watch out for purdue global university because they bought Kaplan and there for profit. I feel like each school I look up has issues and I just want a good education.
We’ve had 2 tests so far in my Psychology class. I did pretty good on the first test (85%) but apparently majority of the class did much worse. Because of this, my teacher made a deal: if you get a score higher on the second test, your overall test grade becomes that grade.
I did pretty bad on the second one (64%) and want to change it. My argument so far is: I am getting punished for actually studying/working hard on the first test when others didn’t, and that the “deal” is drastic enough where the reverse should also be true. How should I confront my teacher about this without sounding like an a**hole?
