  • Salaam all. Hope everyone's well inshaAllah. I'm so looking forward to the school year ending soon (next week!!!!!!). This year has definitely been tougher than last year. And that's strange because last year was my first full year of teaching and I've always been told that it's the toughest. I teach at a public high school. I have to put up with so many bad attitudes and rude kids. Not only students, but their parents too. Sometimes I think maybe I'm just not cut out to do this. If I went to work jus... Read More

  • Academics versus private practice- the never-ending debate and oftentimes personal struggle. Is there a right fit or does grass always appear greener on the other side? Does it come down to prestige versus finances or is about control? And are the lines nowadays blurred with the conception of the "clinical faculty" who have a private practice but are affiliated with a university? Anyone out there who has experienced boths ides of the fence and can offer advice? Anyone who left one for the other? And if so,... Read More
