Ha. I teach geometry or I would jump all over that.

Can't help you haha. Good luck teaching the kids! And tell them that AI runs on cosine similarity. Been giving guest lectures at secondary schools where kids have correctly blurted out that cosine similarly is found using a dot product.

That would not be any of my students. I teach at a school where I would wager about half of the students are 2 years or more below grade level in math. I had a 10% fail rate last year and only 40% of my students got a C or better on the state exam at the end of the course. I got injured breaking up a fight between girls last year and it was roughly the 15th fight I’d seen although just the first in my classroom. I think the highest ACT score by a senior last year was in the low 20s. My youngest son scored in the 30s as a sophomore last year but attends a public school in the suburbs. The differences are that vast.

Certainly challenging, yes, I am lucky enough to work with kids that are equivalent to honors college kids at a really good state school. Your kids certainly need a dedicated teacher! Best of luck.

That would be a dream for me. Just to teach a classroom of kids that want to be there. I am so envious.

But what you are doing is more important, the kids I teach benefit from my teaching, but the ones you teach rely on you. It's different from a room full of kids who have had McKinsey, Bain, or even KPMG internships...

I honestly don't miss being in the classroom. Whenever I touch base with my old friends from academia, I hear stories about how everybody is using ChatGPT and AI to cheat on their homework. Or how so many students simply don't show up any more ever since COVID. Or how they've had to lower their standards because students just aren't doing as well any more (probably a semi-permanent drop due to COVID). It just sounds tough out there these days.

Plus I make about 2.5x the salary, and my job shuts off at 5pm when I log off, and I get paid in the summer. It is nice having weekends again.

Honestly, I'm glad I'm not teaching in the US. I'm thankful to be teaching elite undergrads, MScs, and MBAs at a ranked business school overseas. I don't ever forget how privileged I am in this situation.

Glad that you're making 2.5x the money and getting more time off. A lot of my old colleagues at Stanford are bailing because they can't live on an academic salary in the Bay Area.

It was crazy to think what our mortgage payments were in the Bay Area. We sold our house and bought a much bigger / better / newer house outside of Seattle for less money.

Hopefully it's just the group of kids that are working through the system right now. I know my youngest sons group of kids were a bunch of turds in earlier years but really came around the last year or two.

Carey, you have a great heart for what you're doing and kudos to you for doing it. Those kids are lucky to have you
