    1. Got hired to teach AP Calculus AB. Have no idea what I'm doing. Help!
    2. I see teachers often ask what to buy for their classroom and I often recommend a nice wooden sturdy PAPER CUTTER, especially for lower elementary. And I just spotted Walmart has a wooden one on clearance for $25.35 right now.
    3. Looking for a free test bank/ test maker

    1. "Go back to pencil and paper" but also they will be providing neither pencils nor paper
    2. "Send me your summer pictures."
    3. It'll be fun seeing how the no-phone policy is enforced this upcoming year considering the bad habits admin enabled last year.
