The real fun ones are where we have to submit the curriculum for approval every time we make a change (considering we make small tweaks to curriculum every day - they did not plan for that use case).
Good thing there are APIs for printing and mailing changes to a diff :)
- marcoperaza 7y agoI wonder if there’s a First Amendment claim there.
- pkaye 7y agoHow long does it take to get the approval back? I bet they don't even read the list of changes.
- austenallred 7y agoThe first draft they send highlighted grammar errors with a red pencil. After that I'm sure it's just stacking up somewhere. It's a waste for sure, but changing the system is a long process.
- pkaye 7y agoWhat I've learned is to always include a few token spelling and grammar errors in the first draft of anything so reviewers feel like they have done their job. /s
- cheez 7y agoThis is actually a good idea. No /s needed.

- berbec 7y agoI used to run a pizzaria and the health inspector would stick around for ages, because he couldn't find anything to site me for. I combed through the specs and found something to keep him happy. It turns out to be a minor NY health code violation to store clothing on the same storage unit as food. So I attached a coat rack to the shelf that held sealed canned good. Problem solved.
- appcloud 7y agoCurious, what kind of changes are you making to the curriculum every day that would require you to submit them to the state for approval?
- the-alchemist 7y agoI've been following Lambda School and yourself on Twitter for a while now, and even looked at some resumes for our company. I have to say, thank you for your thoughtful comments here and on Twitter, and your dedication to students. As a former teacher myself, I know the work is hard. I only wish there was a Lambda School here in Philadelphia so I could teach here. :)
- austenallred 7y agoAll of our instructors are remote, apply!
- the-alchemist 7y agoOh, I didn't know you were still hiring instructors, thanks!
