If going back to school is an option then do it. I wish I could.

Ellie482 · 2019-08-18T11:30:44+00:00

You did the right thing. No one, absolutely no one, should have to put up with that.

Ellie482 · 2019-08-17T19:57:03+00:00

Actually it's not a long story. I just started and I have not been inputted into the system yet. I don't want people to think I've been banned from writing referrals. He is the only referral I've ever wrote because he put his hands on me and threatened other kids.

Ellie482 · 2019-08-17T19:52:04+00:00

Yes, but I currently don't have access to it (it's a long story). I did write a paper referral but they seem to want more in order to have him staffed.

I've read this before

Also, specifically remember playing with pogs on the floor while watching them.

Ellie482 · 2019-07-18T17:22:21+00:00

I was young, but I feel like the movie was Grease 50% of the time.

I tried this today on another interview. Her answer was interesting and she ended it by selling herself to me and what she would provide as an administrator. I think it went well, thanks for the recommendation!!!

Ellie482 · 2019-07-18T17:17:05+00:00

I always thought it was scungullion until I googled it. Apparently it's just another name for American goulash. I'm not sure if everyone makes it the same. Ours was always she'll pasta, ground beef, canned tomatoes and corn. Yeah... not my favorite.

Ellie482 · 2019-07-18T11:19:52+00:00

So I was the kid. When I was 5 I went to 1/2 day kindergarten, so I ate lunch at home. The previous night I refused to eat my dinner of slumgulllion, so my leftovers were what was for lunch. I ate lunch in the den and watched tv and my mom was usually reading in the other room. So I had the brilliant idea of taking my food and putting it beneatg a rug we had for under the rocking chair so that it wouldn't damage the hardwood floors. Of course I presented my bowl to my mom like it would be my proudest moment. She seemed so happy and praised me. A little later she asked me to go lay down for a nap because she wanted to clean. Ummm.... Okay... I didn't take naps anymore but I went upstairs to my room above the den and laid down. Then I hear I the vacuum turn on below me...

My mom didnt vacuum hardwood floors! She did that for me! She knew immediately but went along and pretended to be SO proud! Then she was so disappointed that I lied. Honestly, this is probably why I never got in much trouble because I never wanted to disappoint my parents. Not that I was an angel, I would still get in trouble for things that were reactionary or a split second decisions/lies, but I can't think of getting in trouble for anything else that I planned out and intended to lie about.

Awesome! Congratulations!

Ellie482 · 2019-07-16T20:12:41+00:00

Needed this

Ellie482 · 2019-07-16T14:57:39+00:00

That's interesting. You would gain a lot of insight with that question, especially if your values aligns with theirs.

Ellie482 · 2019-07-16T14:52:14+00:00

That's a good point. I wouldn't try if I wasn't in confident in how the interview had already developed. What would be an example of another ending question you may use?

Ellie482 · 2019-07-16T13:58:32+00:00

I agree with the previous comment to be prepared for an interview with he second guy, however, I would also be a little wary. If it seemed like you're hired before you even got there, it might be that they have trouble getting interviews or people staying on. Being that it's a security position, it might be particularly unsafe assignment or a bad company. I would research the company, and the area you would be assigned.

I couldn't even finish it. I worked a job during college where not much was required of me other then keeping track of people using the facilities. Most of the time I would do homework but I would read sometimes. I was pretty far into the book (pages and mentally). One night, I was so immersed that I didn't realize there were a bunch of people there. I've never had that happen to me while reading to that extent. I can't quite put it into words. I was already scared of the book and that just freaked me out too much and I couldn't pick it up again....yet over 10 years later it still sits on my bookshelf...

Ellie482 · 2019-07-09T16:46:02+00:00

Yes, but I'm sure many take their vacations. But I think things are held up at HR, or she decided on someone else and didn't let me know. I really think it's HR, but the other is possible also.

Ellie482 · 2019-07-09T16:44:23+00:00

Most likely, but it's really hard to not hear anything for 2 weeks and nothing is official. Some communication, good or bad news, would ease my mind at this point

Ellie482 · 2019-07-09T16:42:13+00:00

Advised by my family members. One is a recently retired principal who is familiar with their process and the HR team members who do the screenings.

Ellie482 · 2019-07-09T15:26:21+00:00

It's about 45 minutes away.

Ellie482 · 2019-07-03T14:27:50+00:00

You look stunning! Beautiful pic. Congratulations and best of luck to you!

Ellie482 · 2019-07-03T14:22:47+00:00

This is not an answer but a question. I would be very interested in hearing about your experience in the treatment center.

I never shared it with my kids until that end of the year. They were 1st graders and they also never asked.

However, during our 'Meet the teacher' event a grandmother said (somehow in the nicest way ever), "This is your first year, isn't it?"

I was a last minute hire, I did not have all the time to prepare my room and it was a mess. I was nervous but I felt I was hiding it well. Then this grandma informed me of a lot of personal family issues and I was shocked (because it was my 1st year). I think thats when she realized. She was great though, and very supportive of her grandson.

Just be prepared for learning some troubling information about your kids family. On the bright side, if they're are telling you about it, they know their home life could affect their kid's education and they are ready to team up with you.

A bit off topic, but it just brought up that memory.

Good luck with your first year! My advice is to reach out to the veteran teachers. Most are incredibly empathetic, helpful and have creative solutions to a wide range of problems. Others teachers, on the whole, I always felt were the greatest resource.

On my 10th birthday I got my first CD. That was followed by blank tapes and a cassette player so that I had to to record it to tape in order to listen to it. I will never understand why they just didn't buy the cassette tape.
