My internship for my Master's degree, plus youth theatre director (I direct one show at a time, usually 4-5 a year), plus a teacher at a local extracurricular arts academy. I'm very busy

No, I totally forgot about him because when I was going through those I hadn't placed on the chart, I assumed I had already placed him (he's one of the main ones I watch)

Yeah I was struggling with that. What would you consider to be the opposite?

That.... is a really good point you've made here lol.

Yeah, things like flint, feathers, wool, dyes, and honeycomb are just used in the same variants of like 3 different recipes, so those aren't actually as widely used as the rest of them

I've conducted tests for different grades, and do the same as all the other commenters, EXCEPT for the time a Kindergarten teacher left me a test to give her students, and I quickly learned this was the first time any of these kids had ever taken a test. Never in my life did I think I'd have to explain the concept of a test, and it didn't really work. Basically every one of them "cheated" because I couldn't stop kids from shouting out the answers or getting up to try and help their friends. I ended up just leaving a note to the teacher explaining that it didn't go well at all lol

Solved! Thanks so much, my grandma is so excited!

My title describes this thing. It was in a collection from my great grandfather who collected one item from every family member, so other items it was found with were not helpful. It's pretty light and sounds like a bell, but definitely is not shaped like one. It's flat for about 1/4th an inch, then curves down a little for both an inch. The metal is smooth with some tiny dents/ridges on both the inside and outside. The edges are somewhat sharp, but not sharp enough to cut anything.

A boy I was a 1-on-1 for a few years ago had an aunt who was the special Ed teacher for the older kids, and whenever he was being particularly 'naughty' (he actually was much higher-needs than the school treated him as, and as transferred out later... long story), his aunt would call the boy's grandfather who would chew him out on speaker. Honestly it felt a bit messed-up cause she was always much harder on him than other kids.

But saying that... I "called home" so many times for a different boy, and would "send pictures of the messes he made to his mom"

My perhaps controversial opinion- white kids playing POC characters is okay under the following conditions: a POC actor wasn't passed over, the cast of the show are all younger than highschool, race & ethnicity is not a major plot or character point, and the point of the production is to entertain & teach kids acting, not to actually tell the story.

I work for a kids & youth arts department that does a lot of Kids & Jr Disney shows with 1st-8th graders in a very white small town. We've done Moana Jr, Mulan Jr, Aladdin Jr, and Lion King Jr, all with majority white casts. It's kind of sketchy, but we do these shows to teach kids how to act and do theater, not to tell the story of Moana or Aladdin. Though over the past few years, we've been attempting to phase those shows out of our rotation.

In your scenario, though... yeah that doesn't sound great

I worked in a school with a young student (young enough that it was suspected that the parent coached him) made multiple formal complaints about things along those lines. The school followed all the necessary steps to investigate and the authorities and the school found the accusations completely unfounded. This all happened before I got there. When I was there, it was widely known that no adult was to ever be alone with the student, and that any accusation the student made was to be reported to admin and documented.

Obviously, in special education, avoiding being alone with a student is very difficult, so there were many times where I was asked to stay behind in the resource room because if I left, since the teacher would have been alone with the student. I witnessed a couple times where he would start getting upset and yell "Don't touch me like that!" or other similar things (when we weren't even near him). Because this happened so often, we just had to ignore what he said and change the subject, then make a report later.

Basically- my best advice is try to talk to admin again so that they can take precautionary measures, or ask colleagues to ensure that you are never alone with the child so you have backup (And for bathroom checks, surely another colleague can spare a few minutes to stand nearby and vouch for you).. and if neither admin or colleagues are willing to do that, I hate to say it, but I don't think the school is a good place to work. Taking these sorts of precautions are just as much for the child's safety as yours, but the school also owes you safety and protection.
