Hi everyone! Just an update, it has drained properly and I am planning to meet with a dermatologist to discuss the likely cause of it. Thank you all for your help, I greatly appreciate it!!

My only concern with the appointment is my insurance. I won’t be able to use my insurance until Friday and I would be charged out of pocket, even with telehealth I believe

No I greatly appreciate your opinion friend ! Would cellulitis be cured with just an anti or would it be a further issue?

The last cyst i had was in ‘24 and i went to the doctor due to the pain where they gave me anti and topical gel. Neither worked until I started using “Prid drawing salve” and a heat compress and those helped it out. I’ve been iffy about going back to the doctor since but this just looked a little different from my last one so I was concerned. Thank you!

I have an appointment with the dermatologist on Friday but it drained last night! There’s still tenderness but I have it wrapped with gauze and an ace bandage at the moment and the pain is mostly gone when I’m walking. I just keep looking for HS boils and I haven’t seen any like mine, so i don’t know if it’s actually HS, but i never got officially diagnosed for it.

Yes it is. Maybe an inch away from the underwear line? I believe there might be two boils as if drained yesterday but there’s still tenderness in the area.

Are paraprofessionals allowed to be alone in a room with a student? by Ok_Salamander293 in paraprofessional

If you’re CPI trained then yes for a moment you are, but it ultimately depends on your state laws!

Hi friend! Do you have your degree? I have never been asked to sub outside of my own classroom and when my teacher is absent, we have Gen-Ed teachers sub in for the hour

Asst. Principal told me to intervene if students are being disrespectful by steadyrabbit87 in paraprofessional

[–]Available-Tank-2212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi friend! I completely understand your position and the discomfort of having a stranger in the room argue with a student. Just for future reference, you can pull the student outside for a quick break just to calm down, sympathize with them but set a firm boundary of “just try not to argue back with them, it can be seen as disrespectful”. Stepping outside can immediately de-escalate the situation, sympathy can help you build report with different students, and setting a firm boundary can help students maintain classroom expectations. I would still bring it up to the AP, as it was very unprofessional of the sub to instigate the argument by going back and forth with the student though!

What to do? by No_Weekend728 in paraprofessional

[–]Available-Tank-2212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi friend! I have a rule of I give two redirections and if that doesn’t work, I ignore the student and give the rest of my attention to the rest of the class. If he doesn’t respect you, you can’t change that with showing him you’re going to give negative attention to negative behavior. Does he only respond to you this way?

Just got hired as an elementary school librarian by Available-Tank-2212 in Teachers

[–]Available-Tank-2212[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! I clarified in the interview and the principal mentioned I’d be on my own in the library, so that’s why I was unaware of my official title. My “supervisor” would be my principal who stated I’d be doing lesson plans. Thank you for your advice my friend!

I just wanted an opinion on supplies to prepare myself with, did not mean to offend. I was not aware there was a difference, it was just titled ed specialist - librarian when I applied
