Teaching is a fun profession because you go to training where they instruct you in how to painstakingly plan your activities to incorporate as much cognitive development as possible, meet language goals, engage kids, and hit 7 different standards of social emotional learning all while complying with accommodations. And you stress yourself out doing all of these things to be a good teacher. Then you ask kids what they're doing in other classes and they tell you their history coach just puts the worksheets on canvas and sits at his desk. He actually gets paid more than you. 🙃

How to loop over grouped Pandas dataframe?
DataFrame:
c_os_family_ss c_os_major_is l_customer_id_i0 Windows 7 904181 Windows 7 904182 Windows 7 90418
Code:
print dffor name, group in df.groupby('l_customer_id_i').agg(lambda x: ','.join(x)): print name print group
I'm trying to just loop over the aggregated data, but I get the error:
ValueError: too many values to unpack
@EdChum, here's the expected output:
c_os_family_ss \l_customer_id_i131572 Windows 7,Windows 7,Windows 7,Windows 7,Window...135467 Windows 7,Windows 7,Windows 7,Windows 7,Window... c_os_major_isl_customer_id_i131572 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,...135467 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,...
The output is not the problem, I wish to loop over every group.

Having fun isn’t hard when you’ve got a library card!
We’ve just finished up my favourite theme of the year: Literacy! I was taught at an early age that you’ve always got a friend when you’ve got a book, and it’s a lesson I try really hard to impart on all my students throughout the year.
This year was the first year I have had the opportunity to teach this theme to a high-level class, so I decided to really push the boat out and after spending a few days going over the basic elements of a story, types of genre and how to do a 5 finger retell of a story, we had a go at writing our own stories!
First, we planned our main characters and setting. I had to write these all down and put it up on our bulletin board to a) stop students changing their mind about their story elements every other hour b) make sure that everyone was doing something different so that I wouldn’t be stuck marking 11 stories about unicorns.
Then we planned the main events for the story (every story had to have a problem and a solution of course!)
Then we went ahead with drafting and writing our stories! It was a lot of hard work, but I guess I must have made the task sound exciting enough because the kids absolutely threw themselves into the challenge and even my worst writers were able to produce over 2 pages of A4 writing. We also had a fun time creating our front covers for our stories. Featured are my two favorite stories: The Adventures of Stickman (who got into some trouble with a gardener digging up his home!) and The Secret Kimchi Planet (Kimchi Superman lives on a secret planet made of kimchi and makes a girl scientist fall in love with him via kimchi!)
After all that hard work we celebrated with an Icelandic style jólabókaflóð party. We made the classroom really cozy with fairy lights, blankets and pillows. Then everyone snuggled down with some cookies and a “reading buddy” (any stuffed toy from home) and shared their favorite books. It was lovely to overhear even my most reluctant readers have animated discussions about why certain genres and characters were better than others and discovering new books to try! We also took home these fab bookmarks I made with the help of a printer, some ribbon and a laminator to celebrate how we are all expert readers!

Dear educhums
This didn't work too well last time, but hey, gotta try again
I'm thinking of getting an MTeach in Australia to become a secondary school teacher. My problem is, the scholarship I've been counting on has been cancelled, and I barely have any funds to spare. I am also a foreigner, which means very little other scholarships and/or loans are available to me. All of that means that I'm very limited in university choice.
Question: does it matter what university I get my degree from? (as long as that degree is accredited with the local teacher accrediting organisation)
