Okay, here’s the question with added context, as if I were the person who originally asked it: I’m a teacher (high school, specifically), and I’ve noticed a lot of my students seem really sluggish and unmotivated, especially in the afternoons. Attendance has also been slipping, and when they are in class, they’re often disengaged –…
Okay, so I’m really struggling on standardized tests like the SAT, ACT, and even just regular classroom tests that have multiple choice questions. I always feel like I get stuck between two or three answers that all seem like they could be right. My teachers tell me to use the process of elimination, but I…
Okay, so I’m trying to figure out everything I need to set up a really good virtual classroom. I’m thinking beyond just a simple Zoom meeting.

Okay, so my boss keeps throwing around the phrase "return proposal" and I’m totally lost. We’re in the business of manufacturing and selling widgets to other businesses, but lately we’ve had a slight uptick in requests to return product. He wants me to understand how to handle these requests and apparently the key thing is…
I’m a teacher (third grade, specifically) and I’m constantly struggling with classroom management. It seems like some days, keeping my students focused and engaged is a Herculean task. I’ve read some articles suggesting that incorporating more physical activity into the school day can actually improve student behavior, not just tucker them out. But I’m skeptical….
