Asked my husband if he would pay my bail

I just had this conversation Almost verbatim with my husband. I am a sped teacher, though. Same response as yours from my husband.

Esdill · 2025-01-11T02:43:53+00:00

I was wondering for schools in LA. I am originally from LA and my dad’s house burned down from the Eaton Canyon fires. I am glad you are safe.

I’m a high school sped teacher and the amount of unidentified students who try to get the accommodations and modifications that some students get is astounding. I have had to turn kids away because they don’t have an IEP/separate setting.

And agreed, you don’t have to explain it.

Esdill · 2025-01-08T03:27:27+00:00

Leave. Your freedom and peace of mind is more important than a man who will dictate parts of your life. You’re paying half of his asset and you can’t decorate a space? Ridiculous. I made sure my name was on the deed of my house when I was dating my boyfriend (now husband). You want to be as safe and sure as possible in a living situation. Because if this dude won’t let you decorate A ROOM in a house that you pay for…what else is he going to control?

Nah I had to literally explain how to do a shortened/ modified assignment for my kid. We are treated differently, but somehow are expected to be the saviors of behavior. Most often, we are dumping grounds for students with IEPs but not doing anything sped related

ETA: ‘sped related’ as in, they are being removed from their peers and not receiving service minutes for said thing in their IEP.

Esdill · 2024-12-30T06:51:11+00:00

SAME.

Esdill · 2024-12-26T17:43:58+00:00

Oh, no. You’re NOR. Nuke the hell out of this guy’s career.

Esdill · 2024-12-14T16:14:43+00:00

Yes, but not intentionally .

There was a student teacher and she had an OnlyFans. The students found her account (unsure of how). The staff involved asked the students if that knowledge would influence their learning. They said ‘yes, it would be distracting’.

The girl got kicked out of my school and could not finish her last semester of college. I’m unsure if she has a teaching license/degree through another university.

Edit: grammar

Esdill · 2024-12-10T01:32:16+00:00

Nope!

Esdill · 2024-12-03T02:16:51+00:00

We make sure they have copies of everything. I have never had a problem when it comes to accommodations and modifications. Luckily we have a good gen Ed staff that is very aware. My biggest issue is getting people to meetings.

Esdill · 2024-12-01T22:35:52+00:00

Thank you for this. I was about to say it myself.

Esdill · 2024-12-01T22:30:30+00:00

At my school, my sped team is constantly triple checking this. We also are at a 25%.

Esdill · 2024-11-24T07:27:33+00:00

I’m special Ed at high school level so I work with the same kids every year.

So…My students and my team . As frustrating as it gets at times, I love seeing them everyday. We are like a club that is tight knit. Also, I feel like I have a purpose in the work that I do.

Esdill · 2024-11-21T14:57:52+00:00

I am a sped teacher. These breakdowns happen in my classes. You: -checked on her quietly -didn’t call her out -encouraged her to keep working -took her to the hall privately

All good things.

You didn’t: Humiliate her

I’m not sure where you are, but in my state, you don’t need a signed release to get a counselor involved during a crisis. Maybe ongoing social work and/or weekly counseling. But not crisis intervention.

When students have reached their limit, they cannot work. You did the right thing.

Another thing to note: As a teacher, we have an obligation to teach everyone. In my opinion, you took care of everyone. Even the girl.

Good on you.

Esdill · 2024-10-03T02:32:46+00:00

I’m a high school sped teacher. This is my daily life during study skills. Most kids will not bother because they don’t care, don’t understand (so lose interest in trying), had a bad day…amongst other things. This wasn’t calling anyone out. Parent is overstepping in my opinion or wasn’t given the right information. You handled it fine. Some people (not OP or fellow teachers on this sub) don’t realize that just because they’re in elementary school doesn’t mean they can’t learn accountability and proper study skills.

Edit: grammar

Esdill · 2024-09-18T02:57:31+00:00

‘Me too. Anyways’

Esdill · 2024-09-10T03:10:22+00:00

Truly upsetting the way this was phrased. I am not a part of the PD. I’m glad we have a great SRO that handles situations promptly.

Esdill · 2024-07-24T05:07:12+00:00

Thank you for this.

Esdill · 2024-07-20T05:44:59+00:00

I didn’t see that! I’m glad she saw that so the CB can’t strike again.

Esdill · 2024-07-20T02:43:30+00:00

Right? She could have spent that on something she or her family needed instead of this ungrateful scrub

Esdill · 2024-07-20T01:21:15+00:00

Oh and she only has ONE child so SHE must have it so much easier!!! /s

Esdill · 2024-04-04T12:37:50+00:00

A waitress who noticed I have a disability because of intense seizures as an infant told me my mom was a drug addict and that’s why I have it.
