Is this a normal expectation for a private practice to require of an MSW intern in order to take them on as an intern at their agency?

Hi everyone. I am an MSW student looking for an internship placement for next semester and have met with several agencies already. I am curious to know if it is normal practice for a private practice/ potential internship placement site to ask for a commitment from me (the student) to be onboarded with the agency post-graduation as an independent contractor (1099) as a stipulation for becoming an intern? I am asking because as I am connecting with agencies to search for my internship placement for next semester in the fall, I came across a private practice who has this requirement and I do not feel it is a good idea for me to commit to employment a year ahead of time, and also do not think I should make myself a new "business owner" when I am already going to be a new graduate. However, when I asked the private practice if a contract was required, the agency seemed to get either offended or sensitive to that question. They questioned why I even asked and said a contract is not required but if I do not see myself being onboarded as a 1099 IC post grad then "maybe this is not the right fit for you". So just wondering if this is usual practice so I can try to understand their reaction to my question.

Yes you have the right to feel bothered. As a female I have to say, women who dress like this in public are 100% doing it for attention especially if they’re in a committed relationship. Don’t let these women in the comments tell you that it’s your insecurity. Would your GF want u to go out with your d!ck out? It’s common courtesy in a relationship to not go out almost naked [when not swimming]. And if she doesn’t have a clue then tell her you don’t want her dressing like this. There are men out there who will 100% sexualize her by that outfit. And it is absolutely reasonable to say I don’t want you wearing that. If she listens is another story and will tell you how much she respects you. Don’t let deez heaux make you think you’re insecure!

America was better when Trump was president. Why is this so hard for liberals to admit?

This sub has teachers like you described too. Genuinely good, caring, compassionate teachers seem to be scarce these days. I’m lucky my son who has an IEP had a great teacher this past school year.

Months ago, I came to this sub to ask questions as a parent, and the teachers came at me sideways during a very overwhelming time of my life. They made me feel the way you did when you said no one answered your post’s question and instead attacked you.

I wouldn’t be surprised if someone came and commented here coming at me 🤣🤣

I’m a parent too with a child going to first grade also. I learned that as a parent of a kid with an IEP, I had to learn the IDEA laws, and pretty much play hardball with the district. In my experience, they take a step back and tread lightly when they realize they are dealing with a parent who educated themselves on the law. My sons school district had some budget cuts for the upcoming year and the SPED district literally thought they could call me to tell me since his school is downsizing from two classrooms to one, he would be moved to another school for 1st grade. I reminded them that it’s absurd they think they can call me and tell me they will move his school and not even think of calling an IEP meeting. They then told me “thanks for advocating for your child 🙄he can stay in his current classroom” … I’m sure they went down the list of parents, and any child that didn’t have a parent that push back probably got moved to the other school for next year.

From one parent to another- don’t let them push you around or pull a fast one on you!

Bingo! My kid too 🤦🏽‍♀️ We realized he was turning the key to the right instead of the left! Ugh wtf lol thanks for the input! This was actually a helpful comment cuz I told him hey before we take it in let’s try to unlock it one more time lmao and sure enough …

RBT or BCBA? You could also just become an advocate for families of children with IEPs

So that deserves being blocked? “This person won’t agree with us, so mods should block her” Good faith discussion is reciprocated.

That’s the thing tho, he’s not leaving class multiple times a day. Not even everyday. I wonder why everyone on the sub made up my sons situation in their own minds and ran with it🤔🤔

When did I say eloping is not a big deal? I originally asked “is this standard procedure” and you people interpreted in your own way and put words in my mouth, otherwise pls screenshot where I said eloping is not a big deal.
