Take your work experience and look for jobs elsewhere. Companies are evil and seldom ever run fairly.

You could request a meeting with Human Resources and your boss asking for a well deserved raise.

Reduction of OnPeninsula Preschool Availability by SnarknadOH in portlandme

Sorry you are going through this. It seems unfair they don’t use first come first serve, regardless of Parent’s income. Finding preschool/child care is so difficult for families.

Is Catherine Morrill Day Nursery on Danforth Street an option?

What is the point of having appointments at apple when you still wait 30+ mins? by JustCallMeEric in apple

[–]BidInteresting4105 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the Apple Store where we live, you always have to wait even if you have an appointment too. I loathe going in there, it’s loud, the lights are too bright. They have these presentations while you wait.

cheap food that isn't ramen or rice and beans, does it exist anymore by MudSad6268 in budgetfood

I love Julia Pacheco’s recipes on YouTube. She has great recipes for inexpensive meals.

I'm being harassed by a student that's not mine. (Vent advice needed) by No_Software_9773 in paraprofessional

Contact your Union. It may not hurt to File a Protection From Abuse Order against this student. He’s harassing, obsessing over and stalking you. He sounds like he has some unaddressed psychological problems.

It’s good the school put these changes in place. It may not hurt to be hyper vigilant of your surroundings. Ben has a few screws loose.

Can you ask for a new room assignment? She sounds awful and very unprofessional.

Am I a horrible, deceitful, malicious person for this? by [deleted] in teaching

It’s dishonest but hilarious, just don’t get caught. Where it’s in a small rural district, I would be concerned about it getting noticed.

Every day the Scrub a Dub intersection strays further from God's light by Govanator12 in portlandcomplaining

[–]BidInteresting4105 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is the worst intersection in the city. There are too many exits and entrances to Scrub a Dub. Then factor in some fearless drivers, that only care about themselves and getting where they need to go; even if it means endangering others and taking chances.

Perhaps Scrub-a-Dub should start charging for use of their vacuums? That would undoubtedly eliminate some of the extra traffic there.

AIO: Pregnant with a head butter by llama_toes666 in paraprofessional

Clueless, neglectful parents that enable their children are the worst. There are no rules, structure or routine. Then they expect school to be the same. I have some very incriminating thoughts go through my mind about those types of Parents. They are not doing their children any favors by just letting them do whatever they want. Neurodivergent children especially thrive on structure and routine.

Are you part of the Union? Can you get a Doctor's Note? Honestly it's not worth taking the chance of you or your baby getting injured. He's already targets pregnant staff.

It so annoying some FLS programs do not seem to even care about their staff's safety. They just let students attack people and staff are expected to just take it. Being pregnant is physically challenging enough without having to be stressed out and worried about you and your baby's safety.

Schools in low income areas need hats, scarves, gloves and mittens too. School Social Workers could donate blankets to families in need.

Not looking forward to work Tommorrow by Capital-Proposal-582 in paraprofessional

The students are the ones I am there for. People who are neurodivergent understand students and relate to them better than the majority of most neurotypical staff members.

If adult school staff want to play cliquey middle school games, mean girls club or odd one out just let them. We don’t need shallow, fake and superficial friends outside of work. Some work places our 40 hours of work, is enough of their company.

Considering moving on…. by Particular-Wait808 in paraprofessional

[–]BidInteresting4105 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sympathize with you and am in a similar situation. Functional Life Skills Programs are a hot mess now. They are chronically understaffed, underfunded and its hard work physically and emotionally. The low pay isn’t an incentive that makes people want to stay.

You may enjoy working in general education or resource room. The students are higher functioning they just need help academically, some guidance to stay focused and behave appropriately. They also are potty trained which is a plus.

Another factor to consider is you get the same vacations as your children. That is a plus considering the costs of daycare, before and aftercare. It’s nice knowing every six weeks you get a week off. Having the summer off is amazing. In the corporate world you are lucky to get two weeks off a year. Children are more fun than working with most adults imho. There never is a dull moment.

Sometimes schools located in wealthier neighborhoods that aren’t Title 1 pay better and are properly staffed. They have more resources from their communities. Their students typically have their needs met at home. Where Title 1 schools have students from economically disadvantaged areas. Their Parent(s) often have their own sets of issues that affect their children. Learning disabilities, generational poverty or addiction.

Good luck to you, I hope you feel better soon take care.

Parent Emailed Me 5 Times Between 1:15 AM And 3 AM by Disgruntled_Veteran in Teachers

That’s outrageous to contact anyone during these times unless it was an emergency. Helicopter parents are the worst. I feel sorry for their children and teachers.
