Same poster as the above.

My longest and average performance years in a sub grade are actually the early grades GEO 2 and 3. It took me some time to get to GEO 4.... but GEO 5 was 2 years later, and my grades are pretty decent now.

Possible reasons could be the competitiveness at early grades due to lesser people or it’s iust the cohort sometimes.

Hone the craft of teaching and these skills , together with some project involvement, will serve you( your Wife) in good stead when she finally gets promoted to the higher grades.
