Click here to reply to @kwa "It was kind of more like a pressure release in a sense where I think of a lot of things and I like to put it somewhere. And because of my schedule and commute, I don't have time to write the way I used to do in childcare. The time is just not there. I just don't have a quiet place to sit and do that. And this allows me to. This platform allowed me to do that. I don't really like social media."

Let's say 64 from a 52 and that you move from a 72 to an 81? No, 72 to 80, 86. Or is it more important that let's say you even drop a point, 71, but you move from being ranked sixth to number two?"

I'm in the training phase for them, and I'm essentially going through tests that I'm taking to see where I'm at in certain subjects before I start tutoring them. And I guess really it's not really the Test you are 85% proficient or something like that."

Click here to reply to @kwa "Like a lot of stuff you don't really think about, you just kind of do. So those fundamentals don't. You don't really get caught up in those fundamentals as you move up the ladder. And I've talked about different ways of maybe if you were running, overseeing math in the school, what that could look like."

But I don't think I'm gonna do that on Saturdays for one, because I cannot bring my son. And two, I just, I do need room, break, more room and a break in my Schedule.

But like also making good decisions about how you do things can reduce all that and effort necessarily isn't the same thing as like the best choice. And you want to structure things so it can leverage your effort so you can make the most out of less effort for some students and then fluency with math. Let me go into the next post."

Kind of like testing them and preparing them in little bites. And I think I don't know if I'll be able to do it this year because it seems like a small thing, but it really takes a good bit of like preparation, decision and structure if I were to do this again."

But what I'm going to do now is actually look for things that are apply for immediate job openings."

And we're going to. And I fear that you confuse that sort of like that sort of pressure with actually doing anything different, which is not different than was done before."

And I hear things like it's not the same. Basically I guess they say what they study is not necessary on the test, which I don't think is entirely true."

So it's nerding out a little bit on this and not everybody's interested in tutoring or financial services or technology, but I just found it an interesting conversation I thought worth posting here."

And that doesn't mean formally but know enough, have the, have enough capacity, etc. I don't know if the skill sets is the right word. Whatever it takes to really think about what's being sold to you and then how can I say and process that."

This thing gives me a lot of practical experience working with statistics where I'm not heavy in the calculations, the pencil paper calculations that you would do like for high school class or an elementary, like an early college class. It's really like a practical side of it that I think adds a lot for me."

So I'm starting in small chunks. What's interesting too is, you know, as I'm. I teach in high school, tutor everything from third grade through university, and it's cool seeing."

So I really should be using the time to put stuff together because I have to aggregate a lot of stuff from different classes into one and that takes some time and effort and solitude helps that. Quiet solitude definitely helps that. But. But sometimes you want to get things off your head because they'll be with you the entire day if you don't."
