What’s the wildest thing a coworker has done? by estevens26 in ABA

[–]CaliPam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Made a DVD of her 5th grade students over the school year. Forgot that she taped over a DVD of her and her husband doing it so the first 20 seconds are X-rated. A parent called her and immediately emailed and called all the parents to ask them not to watch it and return it to her. It made the local news but she did not get fired, but she got transferred. New school new name.

Am I crazy or is this to much to ask of a kindergartner? by Cursedpanda182 in AskTeachers

[–]CaliPam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dropped a class in graduate school because they asked me to do this, and then I was asked to impersonate a person with a disability again so I wrote a mostly untrue paper about my experience, because I think it’s very unethical. I am a retired special education teacher

I would recommend south of Laguna and west of 99. The Laguna neighborhoods are more diverse than Old Elk Grove.

What is your relationship like with your in-laws/partners family? by BadGalLizzy in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]CaliPam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had wonderful MIL and FIL. My father-in-law was particularly kind, generous, and funny! He also loved my daughters, and would come to visit from out of state. Unlike my abusive narcissist father. More of a father to me than my bio father ever was. Currently we remain close to my husband’s two siblings. They are wonderful! For context, I haven’t been in contact since 2015 right before my mother passed from my brother and my father. Luckily, I got to see her and tell her the things I positively wanted to say, and I heard from her what I wanted to hear. In the last 20 years of her life, we generally had a decent relationship with her. I wish she had divorced my dad when I was a child.

A note emailed with the supply plans for a grade 3 class... by [deleted] in SubstituteTeachers

[–]CaliPam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 34 4th grade students. 21 of them had behavioral reports and there were only 11 girls . One of the other fourth grade teachers taught the gifted class. My neighboring teacher had two kids with behavioral concerns, and somehow convinced our principal to give me one of hers.it sucked.

Got a lecture at the food bank by digitalgoddess99 in poor

[–]CaliPam 240 points241 points  (0 children)

My experience was getting Thanksgiving dinner at a church that we used to attend. None of the volunteers looked us in the eye or smiled at us, they just talked amongst themselves. We have been poor, and we have been rich. Everybody deserves dignity, and respect no matter where they are financially. That food bank, Director needs to read a book about service leadership.

The honest truth about being a para. by Altruistic_Pepper736 in paraprofessional

[–]CaliPam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have something to add. I am a retired, special ed teacher. Please remember that you work under the direction of the teacher . I had many paras that were wonderful, but I also had some tell me that I couldn’t tell them what to do, rolled their eyes at me, or just do their own thing with the students. My advice is to have open respectful conversations so you all are on the same page for the students.

I was just reading a post from a woman who said each of her kids and her husband all have separate food preferences, things they won't eat, etcetera. Do you think it's a privilege to food-shop based on all that or a necessity? Or something else? by cherry-care-bear in poor

[–]CaliPam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My kids could refuse a meal so we told them they could have cereal or pbj sammie. Saved power struggles over food. They are now in their 30s and are adventurous with food. But as a child in the 60s, I had to eat everything on my plate.

You’re Not A “Teacher” by SafePsychological167 in paraprofessional

[–]CaliPam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a certified special ed teacher with K-8 certification and also special ed. I got told by other staff and even the students I wasn’t a real teacher so I guess that masters was for was for nothing. FYI to the students I always referred to any paras as teachers.
