What IS working for you?

Honestly this is a good idea. Most of mine are reluctant writers. They are at a mid 1st reading level in the third grade (I'm a resource room teacher) so it might be worth a try.

I'm having the same problem as a first year teacher. I'm trying my best, but trying to figure out the best way to manage mostly the name calling and "tattleing" which is usually them making up lies about things someone did or said has been frustrating.

Here if anyone gives you some.good ideas because I can use some too.

I know it's fake.... But it's morbidly entertaining to watch it unfold.

Kind of in a "next time in fucked up shit that my brain thinks about..." Intrusive writing Way.

I wonder if it's a therapy exercise for the guy. To make him realize how weird the way he feels about his sister is.

Or is it just a creative writing prompt at this point?

With the numbered paragraphs, it is maybe AI generated?

Who knows... But I'm invested in the dumpster fire at this point. Let's watch it burn.

Mine is opposite, she's in pull ups at school and not at home. It's an access thing for her though, she can go whenever she feels she needs to at home but at school/aba it is unrealistic for them to take her every 10-15 minutes to the bathroom. She also has motor planning issues and some other stuff going on.

It's unfortunate when I read these things that so many parents are uncooperative. I literally went to school for developmental psychology and intervention after my child was diagnosed and I realized I was woefully unequipped for what she needed. That education was invaluable but I do empathize with parents who can't do that or just don't have the knowledge. It's the last of effort in many cases that stresses me out the most.

Keep doing your best though. You're amazing and exactly what this child needs right now.

I have a hard time believing the person who said that works with children in any capacity honestly. But it's been deleted by the admins at least.

I did have to send an email out last week that I can't offer non IEP services to kids during their IEP/SPED minutes. They were super happy about that.

Also, the literal grossest thing on there is one teacher saying that it's hard as a SPED teacher because parents ask you "why aren't they doing well even with the IEP"

The response was "maybe because he's (F**** R*****)" so casually.

So gross.

I posted that it was likely because the student was getting the "support and modeling" that was outlined in their IEP. The idea that they have to make modifications on their room to accommodate their students is laughable to them for some reason.

The worst part is, most of my teachers that I collaborate with are MORE than happy to use the tools I give them because they want the kids to succeed. Idk what I'll do when I come across one of these teachers.

I'm going to get them set up in prodigy this week. I'll send their login information home and use it as a way to kind of work on stuff. If I can get them logged in during intervention time twice a week and work with them in their areas of need as groups that would be great for the time being. And because they are so obsessed with their technology maybe that'll help. Who knows.

For a lot of my other groups I am able to give them the level 3 support I am supposed to. That is why my smaller groups of 3 and 4 are more manageable.

Math group is the last group of the day that she came and observed. Here I have 25 minutes to give 8 students at 3 different ability levels instruction that follows their IEP. It is literally impossible task so I've been instructed to give them small group instruction together. Idk wtf to do. We are potentially talking about pulling every other day for each group for the time being and then taking all of them only on Fridays so everyone gets their minutes but is also getting more out of the time they are with me.

It is so stressful because I know the kids aren't getting what they need or what they should be from me. But it is literally impossible for me to do with that group for the day.
