Hi! Can you share information about the job description and compensation plan expected for the winner that joins your team? There’s a lot of info here about how to nail the “interview”, but not a lot of info about what the rest of the job is like. Expected hours? Is it part time or full time? Or is it on commission only?
I’m also curious about the more practical requirements, like if nationality/work authorization is important, if the job will be as a contractor or as an employee, etc. Any insight there?
Lastly, what kind of visibility should we expect for our example project? Like, who are the judges? Will only those judging the contest be able to see the example work? What will happen to the work after the contest? Just want to understand what I’m making before I make it!
As an education professional: what the hell, dude? It’s not unfortunate that we aren’t just dropping struggling students without first carefully examining why they’re not succeeding.
You might be right that you can’t let some students detract from the class for other students, but the solution there is advocating for better funding and more staff to be able to give every student what they need, whether they’re above or below the expectation for their age.
Saying it’s “unfortunate” that students don’t fail (read: ruin their whole god damn lives) as often anymore is blaming our most vulnerable YOUTH for the systemic problems of our society. It’s not their job to be what the school environment wants them to be, they don’t even have a choice about whether or not they are there. It’s our (as educators, and as tax paying and voting community members) responsibility to make sure they get the education they need to be functional members of our society.
We even have huge bodies of research to reinforce this. It’s not a secret that the school environment excels at making nice workers, not critical-thinking and well-adjusted adult humans.
Take it up with the school board! Take it up with the local, state, and federal government! Take it up with the voters!
