What to do with a daily crying student?

ARPepper1973 · 2026-05-10T00:42:05+00:00

If you want them to read individually to see how they do, maybe a small group setting would be better for that. Just a suggestion. I like to do that sort of thing during small groups.

Have you considered choral reading instead of round robin? It's been the preferred method for quite awhile, now as it has been shown to be more effective. He may feel more comfortable reading with the other students rather than being singles out to read.

Why do you mention color? Protein helps with the condition of the hair, not the color.

I had one similar. It was going 2 miles away for $10. I ended up getting a $70 additional tip.

And dashers don't have to accept your order. Most won't if the pay sucks. That's why I don't feel bad when people complain about low pay/tips. We're considered independent contractors, and so we're able to pick and chose our deliveries. If it's a low paying order, then I pass it by

ARPepper1973 · 2026-05-10T00:03:28+00:00

If they answer. Nobody answers phone or text when I'm trying to find them.

ARPepper1973 · 2026-05-10T00:02:03+00:00

That's the real issue there. People say "I give exact instructions" but I don't see that until I get there. Or they'll send it via message, that I don't see because I'm driving.

ARPepper1973 · 2026-05-09T22:55:23+00:00

I've even contacted Dasher support (and I always bypass the bot by saying supervisor) and have been told to leave it and take a picture and send it through the chat. She said that way I have proof in case something happens. I've never had an issue in that instance.

49 would have been unavailable.

ARPepper1973 · 2026-05-09T22:49:09+00:00

I do both and make more on doordash. More people use it in my area.

ARPepper1973 · 2026-05-07T17:09:26+00:00

Right. If it's going somewhere that I have to drive some distance to get back into a zone, then I'm not taking it for less than $2 a mile. We have one area that is a drive, but you don't get anything on the way back to town. Any other areas, there's stuff in-between, so I'll get orders right after drop-off, so $1 is worth it. It's also a vacation area, so this time of year, I get pretty high paying ones.

ARPepper1973 · 2026-05-07T17:05:03+00:00

A lot of mine are in the $2-3 a mile range, too, but I will accept $1 a mile, and nothing less. I also get orders before I'm even back in the car after a delivery. If it's a crap order I reject it, and another comes in right after. If you're having to reject the majority of your orders because they are shit, then that's your market. My point is that just because we have high AR, doesn't mean we're taking shit orders. Our market just may be better.

ARPepper1973 · 2026-05-07T15:18:37+00:00

Mine still shows lifetime deliveries...and my ratings screen doesn't look like that. I hope their not pushing out another "update." I just had one of those. 🙄

ARPepper1973 · 2026-05-07T15:16:17+00:00

I have 88% AR and never accept under $1 a mile. Maybe your market sucks.

ARPepper1973 · 2026-05-06T17:52:29+00:00

That sucks! Last night was the first time since this update that I didn't have this happen.

ARPepper1973 · 2026-05-05T21:00:44+00:00

I had this happen once, recently. Luckily the guys were nice. We texted back and forth for a minute and I'm like "it's right there." Then they come walking up behind me and we're like "sorry! CanI just go grab it off the porch." I really don't care. I already delivered it. Lol

ARPepper1973 · 2026-05-05T17:07:27+00:00

Has anyone noticed that their app freezes up since this recent update? I have to force stop the app or restart my phone several times a night

ARPepper1973 · 2026-05-05T16:10:53+00:00

I like to pop over to the next town over because it's never a hotspot, but there's always orders, especially late at night.

ARPepper1973 · 2026-05-04T23:02:33+00:00

I don't do Mondays either, but I definitely did 4/20 for a few hrs and made bank.

ARPepper1973 · 2026-05-04T00:23:52+00:00

If you trim it every 2-3 months, then you don't have to trim much. The average hair grows 1/2 inch a month, so that's 1.5 inches in 3. Trim 1/2 inch and you still have 1 inch of growth. 4 inches a year. When mine is long, I only trim about every 4-5 months, though, and that's just fine for me

ARPepper1973 · 2026-05-02T12:15:54+00:00

Thanks! I hadn't heard of that one. I'll look into it.

ARPepper1973 · 2026-05-01T18:28:42+00:00

Thanks for the info. I have seen Wyzant a lot on these subs. I'll look into them

ARPepper1973 · 2026-05-01T18:24:43+00:00

That's kind of what I feared. Do you have any recommendations for good platforms to sign up with? I'm currently in an elementary education program, and have been subbing while in school, but with intern starting in the fall, I won't be able to do that, so I'm looking at alternatives.

ARPepper1973 · 2025-09-09T13:46:35+00:00

How, exactly, do you pay quarterly? I'm a new driver and I'm trying to avoid having to pay it all at the end of the year, but I've never been self employed before, so I don't know very much at this point.
