Teacher here too-- I wore a dark gray skirt suit with low heels and bright pastel yellow button up shirt. Think the suit was Banana Republic and shirt J Crew. Low heels. Simple necklace no other jewelery. In the past few years I've interviewed/hired a bunch of teachers do you have any other questions about the interview? Don't leave your hair down and play with it all the time, don't show cleavage (you'd be surprised), sound like you are very interested in professional development and come prepared to answer where you have the more room to grow and where you are the most confident. Don't say bad things about test prep, even if we all think them. Be able to articulate a classroom management philosophy that is strict but kind and responsive to student needs and say NOTHING about appealing to administration or parents to solve the problems. Be able to give detailed examples of differentiation you have done. Be humble about your first year of teaching (if that is the case). Every interview committee I've sit on cares less about portfolios and such (though it makes you look organized) and more just sizing up if you look like you can hack it, because it's a much harder job than anyone ever realizes!

High needs schools honestly will hire smart well dressed professional looking teachers. I've had that job for many years and it is grueling work. And yes, classroom management will be by far your biggest challenge. Is the hiring freeze over or are you in an exempted field? The first year will make you want to quit and if you are serious about teaching you have to push past that. I cried literally every day my first year. [ Reply | More ]

[ - ] Flame away, but I will say it. I feel bad for Nessie Krim. I read the original blog in entirety and she is definitely the middle child short end of the stick in terms of doting attention devoted. Now with the new beginning baby due in September and the 2 dead siblings, she is in the middle again. Marina Krim just posted from Paris. They went there in honor of Lulu's birthday. The parents must be doing their best, coping the best they can. I just get a sense from the tones of their posts that Nessie is not getting fully attended to. 68 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More ]

They are in Paris right now for Lulu's birthday. Yes I think it's wonderful they're having a baby. I don't think they are helping Nessie with normalcy. For one, they are constantly reaching a new groups of followers who will hear about the horrific crime and have their reactions to it. It makes Nessie very public and scrutinized. It decreases the potential pool of people she can interact with who don't immediately know the back story and that cannot be good for her. [ Reply | More ]

Because instead of focusing on Nessie and quietly remembering Lulu while doing something Nessie centered they made the whole trip to Paris to honor Lulu. It's not healthy for Nessie.

Surgical subspecialty mom: Do a residency. The only thing sadder than being a poor resident is being one when you're older. And I graduated from Stanford in the early 2000s, it was amazing how many start up classmates came right back to clinical medicine after the crash. You may do better outside of clinical medicine but most do not, particularly if you want to work part time. I'm in a specialty and daily feel so lucky to be able to work part time compared to my MBA old roommates, who are every bit as smart but in a different field. [ Reply | More ]

We have two near us taking up parking places, and they seem fine. There is one the sidewalk in front of Whole Foods that could really use a gap. Loading groceries is going to be difficult for those people with cars. There are some in front of residential buildings where you wonder how the garbage men are going to get all those bags through and around the racks. And you wonder about cabs and such dropping people off who have to unload or use walkers or wheelchairs. My mother would not be able to navigate between those bikes with her walker and going the whole way around the racks would take a lot of energy for her. Luckily, my building entrance was spared, and it is just the service entrance that is blocked. [ Reply | More ]

NP--I avoided high fructose corn syrup during my pregnancy which ruled out MOST ice cream, but you can find some made with natural ingredients. Haagen Daz vanilla and some of their basic flavors are natural, as is Oberweiss (They might be local to our Chicago area). Just look at the ingredient list. Some are made with real cream, milk, sugar [ Reply | More ]

He needs to STFU and then go bring you a pint of Haagen Dazs and a pickle to dip in it. Tell him when he pushes life through his nether regions, then he can decide whether or not to eat ice cream. [ Reply | More ]
