Teachers Are Wonderful
Paige came home the other day absolutely ecstatic because she got highest average score on her math worksheets (yes, beauty and brains). As a result, Mr. Lopez awarded her this Altoid tin filled with candy, a Guatemalan worry doll, a plastic dinosaur and a coupon for a 5% grade upgrade. How cute!
I want someone to give me one of these, but with a coupon for a 5% “pay” upgrade. Unfortunately, since I’m self-employed, I would have to give it to myself and that would take all the joy out of it. All that aside, don’t you think that all pay raises should be presented like this?
You know you do.

Shameless!
In the interest of full disclosure, please note that product links redirecting you to other sites such as Amazon
, BlueHost, Freshbooks and OpenSky may take you a purchase page of a company where I am a member of an affiliate program. As a result, I will often get a small percentage of the revenue or a commission off of something you have purchased. I am not otherwise paid to link to these sites, nor do I link to any products that I don't actually use or covet in real life. On the rare occasion I accept payment to review a product, it will be duly noted in its associated post.
Have no fear - you are under no obligation to buy anything to get the full enjoyment of this site. We can still be friends even if you never click on an affiliate link. Rest assured, this is all low pressure. I will never show up at your door with tiny vials of Avon perfume or trial jars of pearl cream to entice you. That said, I do truly appreciate when you do purchase something from a linked site - it all helps to keep the lights on and a roof over our heads.

When I go back to teaching, I’m totally gonna use that idea. That’s a great way to put those Altoid tins to use
Looks cute too!

Way to go Paige! My office doesn’t even celebrate birthdays so it’ll be a long way before we even celebrate raises.

Give the kid a fist bump from Uncle John – yes, Paige, it is very, very cool to be smart. Keep up the good work and you can rule the world someday!

That is great! I may have to find a way to steal that idea…though college students tend to want booze instead of candy…and that would be inappropriate…but the 5% grade raise is cool! Way to go, Paige!
