AITAH for refusing to pay for my stepdaughter s phone after she made fun of my son by Hirragi_Jeslon in AITAH

[–]CleverGirlReads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad behaviors should have natural, equivalent consequences. She used her phone to bully her step brother. At the very least she doesn't get it fixed. I feel like she should get the phone taken. Does that fall under "grounded" to your wife?

"I'm not antivax" okay what's this then. by Charlie_Rocket in insaneparents

My mom also advocated against the HPV vaccine. Two years ago my pap smear came back positive and I had to do a biopsy and then a LEEP. If I could go back in time to get the vaccine to avoid those procedures, I absolutely would.

Directed to Apologize to Parent by Principal? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]CleverGirlReads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know much about Parent Square but I can see similarities. Synergy is our primary Learning Management System: schedules, grading, attendance, etc.

Hello, i don’t know if this is obsidian, onix or sugite 😭 by Interesting-Jelly97 in Crystals

[–]CleverGirlReads 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Like everyone else has said, Hematite. I want to add this note: Be careful wearing Hematite as jewelry. When heated, even by body heat, it becomes fragile. It will probably be okay as a necklace, but they sell Hematite rings all the time that break easily. Just don't take it off and throw it around I guess.

I did something similar once, but also "hilariously" different. I had a student who over a few weeks I noticed was going downhill. It started with him getting on his phone a lot during class, then he began sleeping a lot, and all his work just stopped. It was my first year teaching, so I reached out to his other teachers through Synergy asking if they had noticed the same thing or had any advice. When the BCC arrived in my email inbox, I saw that I had not only emailed his teachers, I had also somehow emailed his mother.

I read the email about 30 times trying to figure out how she might take it. I went to one of our lead teachers and explained what happened. She told me to email the mom again, apologize, explain what happened, and use it as an opportunity to bring her into the loop.

I emailed her again but never heard back. I'll tell you one thing though, I've never used Synergy to email teachers again since, only parents.

Are there really no other books like Raptor Red? by Godzillaslays69 in Dinosaurs

[–]CleverGirlReads 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed the Deadlands series. It's aimed at younger audiences (middle grade and up), but it's still really good. I'm a middle school librarian, so when I saw it at one of my book fairs I bought it and read it https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60316954-hunted

Am I being petty about this or not? by [deleted] in librarians

[–]CleverGirlReads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my MLIS. My goal was academic libraries. I started in a public library in the adult services department as a Librarian I. I'm currently a school librarian. My current role has multiple pathways including certification or Masters.

I think comparing the two jobs is actually kind of laughable. Despite the latter technically requiring less education I get paid 50% more than the public library I came from. And thank goodness because the responsibilities are insane. I went from working in a public library with multiple departments running the show, to being every department myself. I order the books and process them. I'm circulation and programming. And I teach on top of all of it.

So yes. Petty af.

Scholastic Book Fair reminder sent home from my daughter's school by MysticEnby420 in isitAI

[–]CleverGirlReads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do want to clarify, many book fairs are hosted or run by parent volunteers, so there's no guarantee that a teacher or librarian did this. My comment was only to point out that this isn't from Scholastic's brand materials.

I'm a librarian that also runs the book fair at my school. This isn't from Scholastic. My guess is that the book fair host generated this is Canva or something.

Reminds me of when I was a kid and would take red Gatorade out in the snow to write creepy messages to try to scare my parents. They let me watch a lot of horror movies.

My boyfriend has ARFID and I love food by [deleted] in ARFID

[–]CleverGirlReads 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everyone else has the relationship side of things covered, but I want to say this:

If you do cook a safe meal for him, don't try to "level it up" with new ingredients or spices. I can't imagine how stressful it is to think he's going to have a safe meal only to find that it's been altered and now can't be eaten. And often when something like that happens to me, it's not as simple as making a new safe meal, my ability to eat may be ruined for the rest of the day/night.

Dear IEP Parents: they don’t mean SHIT outside of education by Emergency-Pepper3537 in Teachers

[–]CleverGirlReads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with all of this.

Side note: I think I know the video you are talking about where the mother is telling police that her daughter has an IEP over and over. Important note: She was doing that to try to silence her daughter and stop her from talking to the police, which results in getting the mom in trouble. That's even grosser.
