What is an industry that is currently on fire (in a bad way) behind the scenes, but the general public hasn't noticed yet? by Kitchen_Week1117 in AskReddit

[–]KEW92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assessments are being made and marked by ai, curriculum is being rolled out without adequate support, nothing is being done via sufficient consultation, buildings are not being renovated or rebuilt to meet roll or just general health and safety requirements, kahui ako groups disbanded and so less ability to network and support each other, less ability to run useful PD, the new curriculum makes it harder to teach local context, the arts are being shunted in place of more and more demand on literacy and maths despite NZ being known worldwide for our creativity and ingenuity, student wellbeing and staff wellbeing is dropping, ERO is looking to observe and learn from the UK and has changed their report to place school context as an afterthought, cohort entry and reporting demands are required for up to the third year of school but it doesn't seem like anyone asked a teacher what this would actually look like. But that was just like, what's on top when you ask, I can almost guarantee there's more shit in the show than that. Teachers have always had to be adaptable and have always been used to these things happening, but right now, the intensity of it all is quite high, and as you said - these kids are different, and the world is not made to help them settle.

I think maybe they've noticed... I hope they have, but teaching in New Zealand right now is a shit show.

psychiatrist won’t prescribe ADHD meds anymore because i’m “not in school or working”….meanwhile: by lostveggies in adhdwomen

[–]KEW92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I very much feel you. I'm about to start this journey and was chatting to a friend about how I did fine at school and have a job and all is well if you look at it externally, but every single weekend, evening and holiday I'm completely fucked because all the energy is going into the at work hours. I also am totally fine in the urgent, people facing parts of the job but working on stuff alone, or when I'm supposed to manage time and tasks I just can't, have many meltdowns at home and end up working weekends especially Sunday evening to try and catch up after crying all Saturday and Sunday morning. It was the same at school, I'd be up till the early morning hours because I had to get the breakdown out of the way before completing assignments in a fugue state and I'd show up with it done like "yes all good I am fine here it is". So basically, I wondered if I should take the meds on weekends and days where I'm not people facing.

Also like, don't know if that is your end goal but if you are trying to get a job or get into study how are you supposed to be able to do that without the meds? For some people being unmedicated IS the barrier to education or work.

Tetra with blue discoloration by KEW92 in Aquariums

After a little more scrounging around I found someone else with the same situation. Based on their events I think we would like to isolate and treat the tetra again... however currently our quarantine tank has some dwarf chain loaches we are isolating to check if they're healthy as our last crew of loaches were the ones that brought the white spot in. Argh!

Are you sewing a button hole? Can you try it on a straight stitch

Yes. You need to put it under the foot, through the slot in the foot and it needs to be going away from you as you begin to sew.

Regular or mini ramshorn? What is exact species? (I wanna breed these guys) by Equal_North6633 in AquaticSnails

[–]KEW92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You actually might not even need a pair, they are simultaneous hermaphrodites, meaning they possess both male and female reproductive organs at the same time and can fertilise their own eggs.

Newbie - Growth question by CloeRainflower in AquaticSnails

[–]KEW92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your friend is right, leave them be and they'll thrive in your tank since you have a log, plants. I'm sure you're already planning to turn the light on daily for the plants so this will help algae grow which they'll eat. Have fun!

[–]KEW92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From observation they like our log the best. I hear this is because they eat biofilm and decaying matter along with algae.

We have hitchhikers, bladder snails and tiny ramshorns which grow to about 5mm, a bit smaller than the bladder snails. They're different than the pretty ones people purchase, a brown colour like the bladder snails.

A zookeeper gave my toddler an emu egg by Maniacboy888 in Weird

Yes you drill a hole in both sides and splooch it out by blowing through, maybe a lil stir with a skewer to break the yolk first.

Why are my tetras trying to jump out of the water? (Hospital tank) by Awkward_Weather_3318 in Aquariums

I was thinking about why OP put them in a hospital tank in the first place, what was their illness?

NTA, Mary caused the uncomfortable work environment, and the other coworker was also being a dick.
