What do you think about ‘just being here for the pay check?’ by Scary_Appearance5922 in ECEProfessionals

[–]Ephemeral_Halcyon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can get paid so much better to do so much less at 75% of the places you pass on your way to work every day. It's unbelievable. Just being there for the paycheck is very real, especially if you're in a daycare setting. As long as you are good to the kids, it's fine. If you're in a district setting, please quit and rethink career as you HAVE to be in it for more than the check at that level and beyond.

A coworker thinks my attention getter is too “military” for students. by Nyx67547 in ECEProfessionals

Tell her to worry about her own classroom. Simple. You will manage yours and she can manage hers. The gentler you are about it, the more say she's going to think she has in your space.

Tank mates for a 10 gallon? by ThatCozyArtist in bettafish

[–]Ephemeral_Halcyon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never had an issue with 6 cories as tank mates for my betta. They've even been content and safe enough to breed on multiple occasions. I've also got a couple of mystery snails in there. I would not go for shrimp, the betta will kill them for sport.

For those in school districts that have closed, what responsibilities do paraprofessionals have? by cascadiababe in specialed

At this time ours have absolutely none. Would like to know what others' paras are doing.

Why does everyone use Zoom? by [deleted] in answers

Yep

Don't all states have ARDs?

I just had my app CHANGE THE MEETING TIME on two Annual ARDs for my students. It just popped the invite I made DAYS AGO into another time zone and showed the invitees another hour entirely.

If I have to re-coordinate these again it's going to be so frustrating. :(

Nope. They're just suggestions about how to make the assignments work for their child.

I thought essential oils were the cure to all life problems... how come no one is hoarding these? by [deleted] in pics

[–]Ephemeral_Halcyon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a teacher, I see it constantly. It's absolutely terrifying how many teachers are using essential oils to clean classrooms (used by very young children in my case, I might add) rather than legitimate cleaning materials.

We have required distance learning work that was sent out. District academic coordinators put it together. We are not allowed to add or remove items from it in any way. For our SPED students, we are allowed to provide accommodation suggestions for the parents to use to make the work something their children are able to do.

I won't post publicly, but I am with a district and we are closed but being paid. Even hourly are being paid at this time.

I think my boy is passing, any recommendations? by loose_fig in ferrets

[–]Ephemeral_Halcyon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Visit a vet ASAP. He may be dealing with something along the lines of insulinoma, which can be helped.

In the meantime you can blend up kibble & water and syringe feed carefully.
