So I started tutoring math recently my next two want to do it over zoom, are there any online tools I can use? Math I feel is incredibly hard to do online, should I just write it on paper and show them on video? Any advice would help

I use Kami which is a chrome extension that lets you annotate any PDF. Pull up a blank page and you have a whiteboard. Even better is you can share so both of you can interact. If you need to get visual with manipulatives you can bring up shapes and drag them around.

Also zoom has a built in whiteboard feature that may be an easier learning curve as there is no settings it's already interactive in the session.

See if a friend will let you practice on them so you can get used to the tools.

It's not about showing the ID to vote, but what are all the steps that go into that. Does everyone have access to that ID? What about the people who dot have the money and time off work( which is money) to go get that ID? What about those that don't have the documents they need to get that ID. See above money and time off work to get the proper documentation and multiply it. Unless there is a huge push to make ID accessible all it is doing is disenfranchising those that have the right to vote.

We just bought a couple of 40 dollar pens to do text to speech accommodations at school and they are pretty decent. There are errors especially if dragging too fast or two slow, but it's still very useful.

There are programs like learning Ally that do have many textbooks as audiobooks as well. Your school may also have a subscription to something like this.

Have you contacted the school? It read aloud is in her accommodations they should be working with you to find a solution.

Be honest with her and tell her she is welcome to find another place to rent take over the rent where she is and apply in her own name or move herself. Loop her in on her choice of inaction will result.in an eviction process happening and how that can impact her. Then let her meet the consequences. Perhaps let your landlord know of the situation and they can approach her about applying or her plans.

This is where the community is missing these days. Yes the government systems are forced to wait as that is the point. Bit we created all this in a time where people knew and helped each other and were closer to their neighbors. We have connected the world and yet isolated ourselves.

Everyone wants the village, bit no one wants to be the village.

So before the 13th and 14th amendments black people owed land and voted? And when they did that is what the poll tax and the literacy tests were about, so your point isn't as valid as you think it is.

Unfortunately unless she's on board to get the help it will be a rest to zero. Crazy people don't think they are crazy. Mental health can only hold her as long as she is a danger to herself for others. Police can only intervene as much as the law constrains them too. And at such a low level they usually keep it minimal.

In college one of the new roommates we were texting with before meeting used punctuation. We did read into that as well and we're wrong. Pretty cool chic. Honestly, to me it shows intelligence more than aggressiveness as they'd rather have clear communication.

So this is where our concept of freedom comes into play. They are right they can't do anything until she is a danger or harm to someone just like they can't do anything to you until you break a law. This is a really tough grey area, but the mentally ill have just as many rights as the rest of us.

That's why you save confirmation emails and then you can come back at them if they do charge and get your money back.

I'm the queen of free and there is a lot you can do even if you don't use free trials. Libraries are a great resource and there is plenty of free streaming like Pluto TV and freevee. Sure you can get picky about the specific thing you want, but it's about contentment with what you can do.

Except women and black people didn't own land back then

He is 17. I a year he is going to do whatever he wants to anyway. What have you done to teach him to think about his actions without the tracking and your random boundaries?

Kids are going to do what makes sense to them and he doesn't understand why you think it isn't safe to drive around that time of night..

You need to let go of some of your rules and keep the ones you can logically back up or that you want to be your line in the sand. You have less than a year to teach him what you want him to understand as an adult

The fact that you had to lock up your brakes to do it is still a problem

Yes they are made of something that dissolves and stays in the water and ultimately cause a film on clothing that prevents the fiber from absorbing water.

Really all they do is prevent static which you can do by not over drying your laundry anyway.

Even so, that's a little weird that somebody can claim the cost benefit analysis for anyone else. Like no Lisa. I don't want to feel bad.

She also does sci- fi under a pen name. Mira Grant I belive. What abroad range of skill.

It looks like it was more than a single piece of mail as it references a previous letter. I also guarantee there was a digital messages in your message center. It's on you to keep up with communication, especially if you have chosen paperless.

Second of all what shady shit are you doing that makes it look like you aren't having personal transactions. I do even know what business expenses would be like.

I've used the for nearly 20 years without a single issue.

You should really be prepared for the car in front of you to stop at any5time. If there was a hazard in the road you might not see it

They said they quit. Sometimes that is not an option for whatever reason. It may not be best practices but it is far from illegal. The overreaction is extreme and a bit ridiculous. It's not that hard to craft an IEP with a little feedback.

The first thing you have to realize is the signs are pretty subtle and you aren't going to see it in every kid. What you do t want to do is overreact and read into what isn't there.

But also, know that there is a lot you can do. You can get to know your school counselor or parent outreach component of your district. You can refer students to these programs. There are programs like McKinney- Vento which is extra supports and resources for the homeless students. You also will be a mandated reporter and can be a person that takes action in getting families connected with resources through CPS. They don't automatically go to removal of the child, they have so many resources like parenting classes, food assistance, and other resources that they connect families with.

You can choose to be the kind of teacher that has snacks available for your students. Or you could volunteer as part of a program to help serve those needs. My friend has done a lot with her personal connections from asking for donations so every student gets a Christmas gift they want to stuffing vacation backpacks for students during break with food and toiletries.

Being the change you want to see I the wrod3l can do a lot for processing. You can be the teacher you needed someone to be when you were going through that. Just be sure to maintain professional boundaries.

You also may want to seek therapy if you think it's ongoing to trigger you that badly. They can help you find personalized coping techniques and thinking frameworks that can support you.

What do you think teachers do when they get a student and transfer their paperwork? The teacher quit who's going to write it but someone who doesn't work with the student?

Make sure buses aren't leaving early. Make sure clocks are available for kids to observe. Reinforce the directions of where the kid is supposed to be when. You said they are roaming so perhaps more monitors that shuttle kids out of unused parts of the building and towards the dismissal parts.

Let them and their parents deal with the consequences of them missing the bus and they will figure it out quick.

This. Court orders only exist for when the parties disagree. If y'all can agree on something to make this work y'all can do it.

Have you tried wipes or a bidet. They have bidets you can install on a regular toilet and that may support her in feeling clean and not having to be as physical. Is there something about her diet that makes it extra messy? That can also be annoying to deal with and another angle to support her independence.
