@facebook I have question about my account being disabled and not having the option to appeal even though the help center says I should. Any help or suggestions

The “American dream” is a debt trap:
$80,000- College
$30,000- Wedding
$300,000- Home
$40,000- Car

We trap people in their 20’s & they spend the next 35+ years giving most of their time to a job to pay it all off.

America does not run on Dunkin… it runs on consumer debt💸

@FixingEducation So instead of addressing the problem we are adding more bandaids. What about schools that cannot afford this?

#AIELOC is a community.
#AIELOC is accountability.
#AIELOC is radical love and radical dreaming.

I am so grateful to have discovered AIELOC and @GlobalKdsl, and all the folks who make this community what it is everyday.

Together, we are AIELOC.

I updated my blog. International Recruitment season is coming to a close. Here is my story #expatteacher https://t.co/eAo7duTCT8

To my educator friends who are currently struggling in their classrooms and wondering if maybe it's just them, here's a reality check. I work with teachers from a variety of schools and at a variety of levels. Struggle, challenge and tears is the norm right now. You're not alone.

[Fixing Education @FixingEducation]

WHY ARE TEACHERS LEAVING THE PROFESSION?

•Inadequate preparation for new teachers
•Lack of support
•Class sizes
•They are worked to the bone
•Low salaries
•Little to no recognition
•Their time isn’t respected
•Better opportunities elsewhere

MUST DO BETTER #EdChat

You start applying for jobs in December and you won't secure a position until February. #expatteacher

[Ms Holmes Interventionist @lizb81]

As an #expatteacher job hunting is stressful

#Pisces: Right now you got zero time for small talk. So you don’t want to waste your time with people who can’t go deeper than discussing the weather.

[Ms Holmes Interventionist @lizb81]

America is not the only country in which you can have success. I would venture to say it doesn't even make the list. Do not limit yourself to doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. Shake things up. Move. Travel. Explore the world and all it has

[Ms Holmes Interventionist @lizb81]

There is a problem in education and the problem is not the teachers in the classrooms. Follow the data and I promise you, you will find the answer. Hint: people making decisions who have no education background

[Ms Holmes Interventionist @lizb81]

I left teaching in America to teach overseas. Reason 1. tax-free salary 2. I am trusted to do my job 3. work-life balance 4. supportive admin 5. consequences for disruptive and disrespectful students

[Secret Headteacher @secretHT1]

Let’s face it, very few people leaving teaching because of the teaching part.

[Ms Holmes Interventionist @lizb81]

@MrNunesteach It most definitely should be a thing. Then maybe they will realize all that we do and pay us our worth. We should not have to make choices like this. My family needs me and I need me. I love my kids and my job but enough is enough.

I made a cash deposit at the Maadi branch and wanted to know why it is not available. Or how soon would it be available.

[Ms Holmes Interventionist @lizb81]

@HSBC_EG wondering how soon a cash deposit is made available for withdrawal or purchases
