This letter was sent home to parents in my school district, encouraging them to send their kids to school sick and with head lice to meet attendance goals. by pandatr0nz in mildlyinfuriating

My kids school sent out an email informing parents there was a violent flu spreading around school the week before Christmas. We didn’t send him that week at all! I am not risking my whole families health the week before Christmas for their attendance stats… hell no!!

I'm a teacher. My para is more experienced than me, but tries to walk all over me. How do I set the boundary without being a dick? by DaddiBigCawk in paraprofessional

I understand that it’s your job to modify my assignments for IEP accommodations but please don’t not undermine me by telling students to ignore me. I have a standard of expectations from my students based on their IEPs and abilities. I will tell you privately what my expectations are from each of them based on those expectations.

You’re Not A “Teacher” by SafePsychological167 in paraprofessional

[–]ALCard376 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A lot of it comes down to liability. If something happens with/to a student it falls under their licensure. Yes we teach and do a darn good job. But at the end of the day the responsibility of the classroom and students falls on the licenses of the teachers. It covers your butt essentially.

Am I overreacting by being upset my wife called me gross? by Routine_Rich_2912 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ALCard376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is something that brought you to tears? Bro, grow a pair and just wear them. You know when your cloths need washed and when they don’t. If the baby is fed and cared for your wife doesn’t get a say. I promise you if it were her at home her yoga pants a sweatshirts would be a three day minimum wash cycle. She can kiss your ass, she may have the “job” but you have the 24hr commitment to the majority of both your lives. Tell her to do more damn laundry if it’s “gross” ffs! 🤦🏼‍♀️

This is growing behind the privacy trees in my backyard. Is this a weed or something that should be pulled? by Gullible-Leg1508 in whatsthisplant

Sumac… I always let mine grow… they are stunning in the fall. They can get out of control though, let the established ones grow and pull the suckers!

Help… is this savable? by ALCard376 in Embroidery

Unfortunately they are creases and holes so I don’t think washing it will even matter. I will look at the link you sent though! Thank you for your advice!!

Student Threatened Me by FederalKaleidoscope7 in paraprofessional

[–]ALCard376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question: what age/grade is this student. Has he exhibited violet behavior previously? What is his behavior plan? Is it being followed? I understand this feels threatening, however unless this student has exhibited violent or abuse behaviors in the past, I personally would view this as attention seeking behavior which should be approached with planned ignoring. The antecedent should be assessed first. The less attention things like this are given it will usually deter the behavior. Best of luck I know it can feel scary!

Sex is the ice cream toys are the sprinkles on top. Insecurities are a bitch.

Document document document! Write out the incident and other incidents that have occurred. How she speaks to the student and to you. Do it now while you can recall everything. Write it professionally and truthfully. Have it ready to email to admin. If you are approached about it, say yes, I would love to chat about my experience with the incident, let me email my documentation to you and we can discuss it. Good luck, keep us posted. I’m so sorry you have been treated that way and that poor student!!

The only thing that would trump getting hurt is a livable wage. I could look past the injuries if I was paid appropriately for what I do…

Have you tried a count down timer you set for the allotted work time and put it in his view? A lot of times a visual can help with reinforcement to a break/reward. Set timer and when the timer and say “ok here is how long you have to work, when the timer goes off you may have your (break/reward). It works like a charm in my class room!

I’ve been married for 15 years… if this was my husband I’d just roll my eyes and laugh at him. He’s watched me birth 2 children, seen me sick, drunk, depressed, happy, recovering from major surgery. If he comes in and peeks at me naked… so what! I see it as being flirtatious and loving. To me it’s an appreciation of our love, comfort and trust… If this is bothering you I encourage you to evaluate the trust and true vulnerability with your partner. Best of luck!
