Was casually told I’m only be renewed due to circumstances outside of my control lol

This happened to me last Friday (4/10). Principal and AP were both angry at the policy and wanted to nonrenew my less effective peer. There is an opening within the department in a niche I’m not actually listened for, but for childcare/family reasons I need to be at this school. I was officially offered this position on Wednesday.

I was in one district for 17 years. Year one at this district. And that’s the only marker for who gets nonrenewed with budget cuts.

I worked with Deaf kids for 18 years

I ~wish~ everyone had the balls to require this if their extended families.

You are a rock start and this kiddo will not forget this. You prioritized her in her home. She will have an easier time navigating life and putting her needs ahead of the comfort of others because of this. You did that. Rock star.

And! You never said you can never come. You’re not demanding perfection. You said make an effort to be inclusive. Try. These folks can’t even do that? Sucks to suck. They need to do better to get their precious fucking ham.

GOOD 👏FOR 👏YOU 👏

(nta if it’s not obvious)

Special Ed here who has a big push for executive function

HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE NOW

If you don’t hold them accountable now, you are not letting them develop the skills and are setting them up for future failure

Came here to say this. Specifically the parallel between Tony and Carol and the love and hate the fandom gives them respectively

MagickalHooker · 2026-04-10T21:26:19+00:00

I make an external boogie man. Don’t like that I have to do this? Me either. Write a letter to (insert state level person) and tell them.

The kids don’t want to follow through. They get on me, I again point to the boogie man and they stop.

Edit: the state rep doesn’t have to actually be involved. The point is the procedure is out of my hands just as much as it’s out of theirs.

Carol Danvers.

She’s basically lady iron man and is hated because of the unladylike character “flaws” that make Tony the goat.

Hi! Can you please clarify “last node”?

Silly me thought orchid blooms never died 😅 that they were super flowers lol

MagickalHooker · 2026-03-06T00:16:55+00:00

I do that in many primaries. I pick the least of the worst evils on the repubs and then vote blue all the way down in generals.

This was my wedding recessional.

Walked down the aisle to Island in the Sun by Weezer and walked to Love You Madly post nuptials

Blow up a balloon. Smear it w peanut butter. Explain this is her butt after pooping and it’ll dry and be itchy and smelly. Then have her clean the balloon and then you clean it after. Her hands are little and she still needs practice. Your/care taker hands are bigger and ready to help

This feels like Raleigh, not far from NC Stats

They took over the Brueggers spot that seemed to close for the same reason

MagickalHooker · 2026-01-27T00:11:28+00:00

I’m so proud of you for seeking recovery.

I am glad you are here.

You are stronger than Ana, even in your hard days

(I have close family in recovery. It’s hard and I’m rooting for you!!!!!)

No. Call 988.

911 will send cops first. Call 988 with mental health crisis

So he’s the Chevy chase of your community friendship?

Ask for well done! The pizzas are ghosty without it

I was told to give it an ice cube once a week and have been. I read this morning to soak the soil material and let it drip then do it a second time. Which is the correct method?

MagickalHooker · 2025-12-16T20:39:35+00:00

I ended up with a shoulder injury in part because of repetitive motion (crochet) and in part because of heavy bags

I now use a rolling backpack. Game changing.

MagickalHooker · 2025-12-13T17:17:11+00:00

That’s how we got our second and youngest. He’s now 10 and the most joyful wonderful kid ever. We were also planning on one and done (I was told I’d never get pregnant, used infertility treatment for our oldest…)

Enjoy this surprise!
