Dating

Those employed in the education field are a special breed. They tend to be caring, nurturing and patient. They have one of the toughest jobs in America. They also have some of the sweetest work schedules around. SchoolHouseMingle.com offers its members the chance to meet a companion who has the same or similar schedule. How often do you get some well deserved vacation time only to waste it away sleeping late and doing nothing. You call your friends, but, everyone’s working. With SchoolHouseMingle.com, you can meet dozens of other singles in your area…who are also wasting their vacations away. Log onto SchoolHouseMingle.com and get yourself and edu-date.

Networking

While many schools employ 50-100 or more people, sometimes our job can be very isolating. We spend much of our day working with our students and very little time working with each other. When staff does meet, it is for shorter periods of time and it is rarely with people performing our exact duties. With SchoolhouseMingle.com educators are given the chance to communicate and exchange professional information. SchoolHouseMingle.com provides a number of forums that address many of the hot and current issues in schools today. Some of these topics include: New Teacher Support, Special Education and Union Issues. Also for newer teacher, or veterans looking for fresh ideas, the Lesson Trade forum is a peer-to-peer lesson sharing system that allows educators to upload some of their favorite lesson plans or activites. It also allows members the rights to download these materials for free.

The SchoolHouseMingle.com Networking page also has a classified section. Here, educators may use this section to advertise a variety of goods and services to other members of their local education community. Two of the more popular categories are “Items Bought n Sold” and the “Apartment Search”. Items Bought n Sold provides an opportunity for educators to buy and sell to each other. Things such as educational supplies to furniture to sports equipment to automobiles are likely to be found here. SchoolHouseMingle.com’s Apartment Search allows land lords and educators to advertise and search for tenants or vacant apartments. In these “tough economic times”, who better to rent to than an educator with a steady job and an even steadier paycheck? Additionally,  educators looking for roommate situations can find other financially stable (and somewhat normal) people with decent hours to share the rent and bills.

Travel

These days, travel deals are easy to come by. There are tons of websites claiming to be able to find the lowest fares. One site will even “let you name your own price”. But how often do you see these steep discounts during school vacations?  (i.e. president’s week, spring break) SchoolHouseMingle.com, along with its travel agent partners, offers a wide variety of vacation packages at times when educators are typically on vacation. These packages are competitively priced when compared to similar packages offered during the same time frame. SchoolHouseMingle.com also offers membership discounts at several area travel agencies. This allows for more flexibility in terms of destinations and dates. SchoolHouseMingle.com is committed to providing hard working educators with well deserved, fun and relaxing vacations at prices they can afford…during times they are available.
