We need someone to make schools function while the teachers provide the actual service of education, but I’ve long said that every administrator who moved “up” from the a teaching position should teach at least one section a year to stay in touch with education. 

In 5 days, I will formerly be a chef in healthcare institutions. It’s for the reasons you list. Hell, the wages you list mean you may even be in my area. In four days, I found a job managing inventory for 8K a year more, with better benefits. I’ll cook Christmas dinner for friends and family for a change. My regional

Yeah the problem is how wildly unevenly that amount is distributed 

Boston to Albany in an hour? Yeah maybe if you mean Worcester to where the pike crosses into NY. I spent years in Albany and made the Boston trip many times. It’s 170 miles minimum with dense urban centers on both ends. Explain this to me. Just go 200 through Springfield? You’re lucky to finish the drive in 3 and a

I love teaching but the worst part of the job is the idiot administrators and the paperwork they demand, with parents and public right behind. Working with the students is the good part.

Right, I’m a teacher myself. My wife is a Sped teacher who is leaving the profession after this school year and this is a horrible time to be in education.  Every problem or difficulty is not met with help or understanding, but scrutiny and anger.  I don't know how much more of this I have in me and if I drove bus I

You want to part to a job that’s as lose-lose as possible, that one has to be school bus driver. Crap wages while you’re skilled at piloting a huge bus—no small accomplishment—literally and figuratively, responsible for a lot of brat lives, and meanwhile the brats are unruly brats while you get them home. Who would

I’m a teacher, and the excessive workload and being expected to meet the mental health and behavioral needs of students returning from 2 years of unstable schooling as a classroom teacher have me wanting to leave the job after a decade. I wouldn’t want to be a bus driver with my current salary, let alone what the

Bus drivers near me are paid near minimum wage, have a split shift and aren’t paid for the time they drive the bus empty- and for some reason we have a shortage of them

Gotta get dem clicks...

I wonder if there was something wrong with yours.

The rear one is a Camry dent. It’s a factory upgrade.

Is this just like a RAV-4 that’s keepin’ it real? “Yeah, I’m boring, but going to the store to get cereal ain’t exactly the fucking X-Games, either, pal. Get in and let’s get this shit over with.”

Why not go for the Hyundai Kona or the Kia Soul, which are both cheaper? Why not opt for the Kia Seltos’ interior charm?”

Neutral: Got my kids their first round of shots. My 8 year old daughter sat there got her shot and was like, “Ow that hurt.” My 7 year son had to be held while he screamed, “AHHHHH YOU’RE GONNA KILL ME IM GONNA DIE NOOOOO AHHHH!” Going to have some family over for thanksgiving this year, my wife’s family is making

Thule roof box, picked up broken. It got fixed.

Have you seen new car seats? They're the worst, but also, you're mostly correct. 

Also worth noting, roof “ski” boxes are handy and good one is rather aerodynamic, and do not increase the fuel consumption too much

“... the Cayenne is too small for people with children.”

I think the overall headline that
