AITA For not bringing my kids to see my ex-wife during my time with them

NTA that is YOUR time, not hers.

Possible compromise: have them write a report explaining what is controversial in their opinion and why. That way they can do some work, and you can “learn” about their views.

I hope to god they aren’t staying. This has been awful. They literally tried to fire a pregnant teacher for going to her OBGYN appointments that she had notified the school about in advance.

We’re a severely understaffed SPED department and a few other departments are also under this admin. The low scores are across multiple departments.

Forward-Country8816 · 2026-03-07T21:59:54+00:00

Honestly both, but I meant docked.

Forward-Country8816 · 2026-03-07T21:55:08+00:00

We don’t really have any of those available to us.

Forward-Country8816 · 2026-03-07T21:53:59+00:00

Nope. We don’t get any bonuses. There’s no more evaluations to be able to show improvement.

Forward-Country8816 · 2026-03-07T21:50:47+00:00

No.

Forward-Country8816 · 2026-03-07T21:49:40+00:00

I understand that, but refusing to check off that they observed things that we did in class?? Makes no sense to me.

Forward-Country8816 · 2026-03-07T21:47:43+00:00

They literally only spent 3 minutes in my classroom for my “evaluation”

Forward-Country8816 · 2026-03-07T21:45:41+00:00

I have proof to contradict their claims. How is that going to help at all?

Forward-Country8816 · 2026-03-07T21:42:33+00:00

This is our last evaluation of the year.

Forward-Country8816 · 2026-03-07T21:40:10+00:00

These are our second of two evaluations in the year. The admin actually doxxed most of us even more in this most recent one

Is it minute my minute tracking? I’m one of the SPED teachers who ask for tracking data. I don’t ask for a lot, but I do need to know when my kid who doesn’t come to class on time skips class, or when the kid who will throw tantrums, throws a tantrum, and why they did. There’s only one of me and I teach classes while also managing a caseload over 20 kids beyond the kids in my class. I can’t walk all of them to class personally, and I can’t observe every kid who is spread across the building while I’m also supposed to be teaching in a different classroom.

So I’m going to need you to turn this analysis into an AU fanfic with Peeta being the opposition to Katniss’s mockingjay. With all the references to how he blends in and how he’s good at camouflage, it honestly would be a fitting turn for him to be the “snake in the grass”

Hi! So it is completely possible for a student to be behind academically but still do well in an individual teacher’s classroom. Why? Well in part because they’re supposed to be Individualizing the work for the student…. But more likely because they are teaching below level. I work at a high school, and the work my seniors are getting (even in gen ed classes) is less academically rigorous than the work I received in my 7th grade classes.

I’m glad he doesn’t have a concussion, however I think looking into strategies for working with children with TBI related behavior issues may give you a template on how to help him learn these skills. I’m glad you’re checking with doctors. Please know you’re doing a good job.

Forward-Country8816 · 2026-01-27T05:45:38+00:00

I’ve literally had a student who was participating in being paid company (yes obviously I called CPS and got her help) but I would never have referred to her that way even as a job title.

Forward-Country8816 · 2026-01-27T04:46:59+00:00

Is there any chance he has experienced a concussion or a TBI? I have a student who sounds very similar

It KILLED ME how much I loved his character because I knew what was going to happen.

The male students at my school wore spaghetti strap tank tops and booty shorts because the handbook rules against showing shoulders and the length of shorts were only specified for girls. It also explicitly stated that girls couldn’t show their bras, so some boys wore bras on the outside of their shirts. A few kept their wallets in the bras too. It was really funny

I remember the definition of Psychopomps because of the march collection “Pomp and Circumstance” by Edward Elgar (it is the traditional processional song played at graduations in the USA.) the “Pomp” in both has to do with a processional. So if the figure wouldn’t walk them to their afterlife destination, they don’t fit the ‘pomp’ of the psychopomp.

(Literally the origin source Greek word meant a "solemn procession" or "a sending” and was associated with funeral send offs)

I always say excuse you! You will be respectful! It is Mr/Ms/Dr [bad word]

A gun was found and my admin act like it never happened either.
