The people who can help don't take phone calls. I've submitted EVEYRTHING you've asked for with a tax ID, request that the check is payable to her estate (not a person) & here I sit on twitter hoping someone who can solve this will actually answer a phone call. @johnhancockusa

[Kathy Olesen-Tracey, Ed.D @Kathy_Tracey]

@johnhancockusa
Me: I need some assistance...
Rep: I will need to escalate this to get help.
Me: Can you transfer me to a supervisor who can assist?
Rep: they don't take phone calls.

Seriously? If your 'managers' don't talk to customers, why are they needed?

[Kathy Olesen-Tracey, Ed.D @Kathy_Tracey]

My family member died without a will & her benificiary died several years ago. She died on Medicaid in a nursing home and the state will recoup her funds. and I can't close this out because I am waiting on John Hancock's $2,200 check that belongs to the state.

The work impacts so many people. Consider supporting if you are able. #adulteducation

Hurricane Ian wreaked havoc on 11 local programs in Florida. @COABEHQ together with @ACEofFlorida are leading an initiative to help offset the costs. Please consider donating - 100% of funds raised will be donated to the impacted programs. https://t.co/U4bSkfgLqO #COABE #AdultEdu

Research on adult numeracy indicates context is important to build interest and understanding. How have you helped #adulteducation students contextualize higher level #math concepts? Join the zoom session and share your ideas. @AALPD @AdutlNumeracyNetwork

You know what students won't remember in the first week? The rules and procedures of your class.

You know what students will remember? Whether or not they felt safe, connected, and how you made them feel.

Are you teaching the #science of #vaccines in your #HealthLiteracy?

[LINCS @LINCS_ED]

In #adulted, our classrooms are our student’s safe space. Today, we can equip them with the vaccination resources to stay safe both inside and outside our classroom. #WeCanDoThis

In the LINCS ecosystem, we build on ideas for the #adultedu #workforce system. Learn about gamifying science and bring the ideas to the #tstm conference. Learn more about both @LINCS_ED

[LINCS @LINCS_ED]

On 5/26, join our live coffee break in the Science group to share examples of how gamifying science instruction allows students to develop problem-solving skills among other skills. Find more information and register here: https://t.co/kc1uwtdbfU
