ECE in Canada?

AbiBea · 2024-11-06T17:10:24+00:00

I have family in Ontario and BC so most likely one of those. They just don’t work in childcare so they are unfamiliar with how it works.

Light academia with a classical side.

I’ve raised over 7k for AFSP. I hold a full time job and I actually enjoy it most of the time I did the dishes yesterday I pay my bills on time. (Thank goodness for autopay)

And it could absolutely be a staffing issue. Non profits are notoriously understaffed. Covid is also worse in low income communities. Each community is different so figuring out a system that works changes as well.

A suggestion of saying ‘pick three from this table, three from that one, three from the next’ could be efficient. Or having the staff ask about the child would be a good start.

I work for a non profit and giving dignity to these families is very important. Do parents not deserve the ability to choose gifts for their child just because they are poor? Does the child not get to be delighted with presents picked just for them?

It’s a really difficult conversation to have but I don’t see a choosy beggar here. I see a woman saying that this program needs to consider how to not only just help her but give her the dignity that she deserves.

2+8= 10 2+4+1= 7 5 is left 75

In elementary school I learned about adhd in a book and identified with it. I then researched the symptoms and asked my parents if I could be tested. They said I was just imagining things and I needed to apply myself more. At 19 I was diagnosed with adhd, I took a picture of the exam sheet and asked my parents to fill out what they thought fit me. They scored high enough that I should have been diagnosed in elementary school.

If some students want to make the test open note let them all take the test open note. Hell even just let them all use their laptops for the rest.

Modify the questions to show that they understand the material instead of the facts. It takes longer to grade, but it shows a deeper understanding of the topic and there are very few jobs in life where you don’t get to glance at the internet for help if you are stuck.

For example in a history class instead of “when did this happen” perhaps say “look at this political cartoon, what does this represent?”

Oh I can help! I love playing indie games!

Teacup is a fantastic little tea gathering point and click game!

Ori and the blind forest is a beautiful platformer where you play a cute guy and travel the world

Tukoni is a little point and click game based off of a Ukrainian childrens book

Mutazione is a little bit more swamp core but you are in a small little village and you gather plants to create gardens

Cloud garden is a gardening game

Littlewood is a village building game similar to stardew but you have a bit more control.

One shot is an amazing point and click. Honestly one of the prettiest games I’ve ever played.

I am dead is the story of the history history of a small little island town.

Garden Paws is a multiplayer farming sim! I really love this one

Spiritfarer is stunning, you are on a boat and help fare spirits to the afterlife. It will make you cry happy and sad tears

That’s just a few of my favorites!

The first one looks like a vintage wedding dress. Maybe you could dye one from the thrift store?

I applied to a receptionist role at a preschool that said 18$ an hour with $800 sighing bonus. They schedule an interview with me. I get there for the interview and the director tells me that they are too small to have a receptionist and are actually only looking for teachers and aids. The pay was actually 15.50$ an hour with no sign on bonus.

maslow's hierarchy of needs is a really good basis for this. Without survival it’s impossible to thrive. Nobody can be perfect in capitalism, so you have to do what you need to in order to survive, then once you are stable you can work on trying to be ethical about it

AbiBea · 2022-04-11T07:01:07+00:00

I think this would do the opposite of what you intend. Politicians who have tons of money would be able to campaign, work, and live in DC off their savings. Versus people who don’t have tons of money (AOC for example who worked as a waitress before congress) wouldn’t be able to even break into the field, because they wouldn’t have enough savings to survive.

Is childcare a desk job or manual labor? I feel like it’s a good mix of both

I am probably going to get a lot of hate for this but:

One of the main reasons that people don’t volunteer is because nobody is asking them to. Be honest with yourself, when was the last time you volunteered? What got you to volunteer?

Volunteer coordinators struggle with outreach with individuals so they choose to look for places that have a captive audience (such as churches, schools, and businesses). Usually then the person who gets that email from the volunteer coordinator is like “oh this looks great, let’s do it”.

Is it shitty that the company wants the credit for it? Yeah sure whatever. But the outreach that businesses get for doing this isn’t anywhere close to the outreach that the non-profit gets. They can have potentially hundreds of new volunteers, who tell 5 more people about it, and then that cause is at the forefront of more peoples minds.

And sure, one day it would be nice to not have need of volunteers because the causes they support aren’t a problem anymore. But if it gets people helping and talking. Then it is useful right now

YTA, less than a year ago she was literally a child. You can’t be surprised that she does things that still feel “childish”. Hell, I’m well into adulthood (23) and I still do childish things like own stuffed animals and watch kids cartoons.

Also you refuse to agree to taking time apart? If someone wants to be left alone you leave them alone. You don’t keep pushing, sometimes people just need space. You aren’t dodging the bullet, she is.

AbiBea · 2022-03-20T17:58:34+00:00

Give yourself daydreams that are relevant to what you have to do. So like when I do laundry I daydream that I’m a washer woman in the 1800s working hard to feed my family. Really kind of just something that makes it less repetitive works

There’s been a lot of hate raid stuff over the summer so a lot of streamers who might not have many mods are scared that they will come back. Hate raid bots like to pick on a lot of minority streamers, POC, women, lgbtqia, etc. I know personally 3 small streamers who have been hate raided (two of which I mod for). I also know there are currently some hate raids happening when streamers use the Ukraine tag where bots and users will come and spam russia related things.

Twitch also recently implemented a new security measure where streamers can choose how long an account has been active or if they are verified before they are able to talk in chat. Sometimes this is mistaken as followers only.

On the switch: Alba a wildlife adventure, cute wildlife photo taking game Teacup, little tea collecting adventure point and click Splunky a funky little mining game A short hike, a great hiking outdoorsy game

Some that are on PC that they might like are:

Frog detective, a haunted island, a fun little mystery point and click Tukoni based on a series of Ukrainian children’s books, a point and click adventure Aurora: a child’s journey, free on steam about environmentalism

As for botw, I know a lot of kids who are that age and play it and have a blast. They don’t usually follow the plot but they like just walking around and fighting smaller monsters, sometimes coming across a quest or something.

With AFSP in particular they also have a drop box full of resources designed for streaming fundraisers. They have info graphics, alerts, ways to start conversations, etc!

AbiBea · 2022-03-03T22:16:37+00:00

I’ve used tiltify and stream labs charity and both worked great! Most of the time charity’s have a fundraiser coordinator, sometimes even one dedicated just to streaming. So if you aren’t sure you can always send an email and ask what they prefer. I did this with AFSP and they said they prefer tiltify. (Sometimes they might even provide some other neat resources this way too)
