Lol are you new to driving in northern states?

Ice sheets fly up in the air and due to the speed of traffic your car can travel significant distance before the sheet comes down

You could be traveling multiple car lengths behind a vehicle with ice on their roof and it could still fly over your car.

It can happen even if you’re plenty far enough behind the front vehicle. Those ice sheets/ice slabs can fly around in the air in weird ways and can land very unpredictably. R/boston was talking all about it yesterday and some people posted videos. There’s no rhyme or reason to how the ice lands and believe it or not, you can get hit even if you’re not following closely at all.

We need teachers! It is definitely not oversaturated here. Especially if you'll work in Title 1 or special ed. Positions will start being posted soon, but there might be a small summer crop too as people don't sign their offer letters for next year. I got my job here in July which was stressful as we had already decided to move to the area. I hope you love it here 😊

Springfield is always hiring teachers. It’s a Title 1 district, so you get a lot of the Title 1 issues. They don’t use schoolspring, so check here. This is also contingent on your partner passing all of the MTELs, and they will also have to either take RETELL or pass the SEI exam AND get a Master’s (this is a state requirement, not just Springfield). A benefit of Springfield is that the district offers RETELL for free, many districts do not. There are also fast track Master’s programs in the area.
