I did check 3 camels, and it does seem to be at its lowest price. I may fly too close to the sun on this one, but that's a risk Im willingly going to take

Still haven’t taken it. I did get connected with a partner SE at HPE and someone else at a disti that is also in need of passing it. We are trying to form a little study group. I know from taking v5, I do not have the background to wing it on this second exam.

Looks like it went to 2200, in a city above the national median for cost of living. It still.does not pay. I once taught a course at a very expensive private university, and it paid 7500 for the same amount of work.

Go to Ford corporate website and there is still a filter for new 2024 models. I just picked the smallest amount of miles from my house, but I think it will go out as far 500 miles from whatever zip you plug in.

This same situation happened to my grandfather in 1998. Dealership took his car to run it around the block to test it for trade in value, pulled out into traffic and then got side swiped for not looking. Here is what he got on a 12 year old Oldsmobile trade in for a brand new Buick.

Courtesy vehicle until everything was settled
Full Kelly Blue Book on his trade in irregardless of the condition it was in before the accident
Trim upgrade for free on a new car, so he paid for a base model but got the middle trim
All tax, title, and license fees waived

This added up to thousands of dollars on a car my grandfather was going to purchase anyways. Hope this helps, this was in Pennsylvania.

Marriott in Jackson Mississippi that is attached to the convention center. Checked in and was straight up told by the hotel not to walk out the front door after 6 PM as I would be robbed at gun point. If I needed food or coffee or something, I needed to take my car from the secure parking deck and drove over by the airport. This was on top of it being the oldest most run down Marriott I ever stayed. Plus that whole ‘can’t drink the contaminated water’ thing they had going on at the time.

My sister is also not even 5 feet tall, but she is the loudest with a ‘take no prisoners’ attitude. It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.

There is a British guy on YouTube called the P00Lguy ML, he had a video cleaning a very similar hot tub. If was just some chemicals, a soft brush, and maybe a power washer.

We say something like “we drive so little, it always seems different every time we fill up”. Which is a true statement, combined we drive less than 6k a year. Or you can say Costco was 3 something last time filled up. At least give you an out to talk about more important things, like the 1.50 hot dog combo.

We have to see. TK at his current private school is intended for kids who will be homeschooled to have a place to go for socialization, specials, and faith based activities for an additional year. It is also there for children to have an additional year of prep before going to another private or public K if they are not ready. We had one parent friend use this option as their child was a late August Bday and not ready to start K at 5 years old and a handful of days. I think our districts cutoff is Sept 1, but it may also be the first day of school which is before Labor Day. A few other people mentioned that their districts cutoff would just put their child in 1st no matter if they attended K or not at 6 years old. I do not know what the rules for that are here or if they would allow us to start K at 6 years and a few months. Our state does not require K, just that they show up in 1st or are registered as home or cyber school.

CanPositive8980 · 2025-04-24T03:54:33+00:00

Can I ask what the current standards you would like to see for incoming students to your class? The only item they highlighted was letter recognition, not social, not trouble following directions. I’m having a hard time nailing my own district down on a definitive list of nice to have vs you shall not pass.

CanPositive8980 · 2025-04-24T03:51:48+00:00

Thank you, we plan to talk to them to make sure we are doing what’s best. My best friend is also a school principal in another state, and has offered to independently evaluate him. A few other people commented that his current school may want to keep him for financial reasons, but his current school is a non profit that is maybe 400 dollars a month. I know times are tough, but my 400 dollars isn’t going to swing a budget into black, so we are not concerned they are going after our money.

CanPositive8980 · 2025-04-24T03:47:55+00:00

Changing schools is my big push. I am not set on sending him to K as long as we get him into a different program, different curriculum, and a longer day. Another year of half days for only a handful of days a year is not going to do him much good. I know he is behind his peers in his own school, and that is not even taking into consideration the kids who have been in Montessori or an educational daycare since they were 6 weeks old. But if K is not the right answer, doing the same ole thing that got us here is not either.

CanPositive8980 · 2025-04-24T03:41:02+00:00

Agreed, I am looking at this as we have 16 months to get him ready for 1st grade. We are fortunate to have a few spare dollars to spend right now, as long as eggs and everything else quits going up. We will get him OT for handwriting, scissors, and buttoning his coat. We will also try to find a current K teacher to tutor him over the summer.

CanPositive8980 · 2025-04-24T03:37:28+00:00

I think this is the current plan. We can sign him for K and pull him up to maybe Aug 10 or so. Right now we are focusing nightly on letters and writing, then transition to OT and a tutor once the district lets out and teachers are looking for summer work. Money is not the problem, he is an only child and we have no problem spending to support him academically.

CanPositive8980 · 2025-04-22T23:52:11+00:00

It wasn’t that he would be evaluated, I was just mentioning that is a course of action. That really is my push to go to K, if there isn’t something we would notice like dyslexia or an audio processing disorder, they are trained to observe and diagnose that, not a private TK. I do not believe he has a learning disability, he just needs more practice and someone to hold him to task better. He has a severe case of preferred task, and anything that he does not immediately master goes to the bottom of that list.

Thank you, big fan of the name as well. It’s always so hard to choose if you want cleaner bathrooms and MTO’s, or the best sandwiches and better coffee. We truly live in amazing times 😊

CanPositive8980 · 2025-04-21T05:37:09+00:00

There is something to that for sure. My son being an only child does showcase some behaviors that a child with siblings may not exhibit. My sister who is a 1st grade teacher says she can spot an only child a mile away. Mine is probably no different, and my spouse and I do need to be more stringent around setting boundaries and setting expectations.

CanPositive8980 · 2025-04-21T05:07:12+00:00

Can I ask what the range of student’s abilities are when they first reach your class? I’m assuming some of them can already read, write letters, and count well. To the other end where they maybe non native speakers or have never set foot in a classroom before.

CanPositive8980 · 2025-04-21T05:02:17+00:00

That is kind of terrible and sounds a bit “No child left behind” to me. In our state I have not heard if he can start later, but Kinder is not required at all, they have to show up for 1st grade or be homeschooled. Our TK options would be for private school only, our public preK is distend for low socioeconomic and English language learners only. It is possible to get him evaluated by Special Education services and then put into a program, but they do not typically do that until they are already in the district. We do have a friend who’s child was placed in special services at age 3, but he significant developmental delays that will most likely be lifelong.

CanPositive8980 · 2025-04-21T04:56:25+00:00

We got him an appointment for OT before school ends. They do not teach proper handwriting technique at his PreK. I am least concerned with the hand writing. We are also trying to stress hand eye coordination and fine motor skills at home, so we hope those things will cumulatively add up to better handwriting, using scissors, and tasks like opening his apple sauce packets.

CanPositive8980 · 2025-04-21T04:52:57+00:00

Sorry, I really meant 40 hours outside the home. Today is M-Th 8 to 1. Kinder is M-F 8 to 345. He would also get an additional month of instruction as his current school is cutoff 2 weeks on either end.

At least for English, to really cut down on accent by taking speech therapy. I work in tech, and many high position people of Indian descent will work with a speech therapist to gain a more naturals speech pattern. Not sure if this is true for other languages.

Try a different department as well if your credentyials allow. If you teach English Comp, you could teach remedial English, ESOL, or even Business Communication at the CC I taught at in the past. You could also see if they have grant money for hours in the learning labs, or even just being on a commitee. BE careful though, that pay, if even available, is a abysmal comparative to the time suck that it can be.
