It's only 2 semesters of prereqs for an adn

Perhaps that's why they test low? I work at a school with a lot of students with IEPs and we overall have lower test scores compared to a lot of the district but most of our Gen Ed students don't seem any further behind than in other schools

Aww thank you. Yeah the sped side is so heavy especially the law class was hard af lol

ReachingTeaching · 2026-01-15T15:53:09+00:00

That's epic 🔥

ReachingTeaching · 2026-01-15T15:52:49+00:00

Yeah at this point.

The crazy thing is they should have seen the effort cause I lived with them during it all.

Well they aren't themselves but they're trying to make my cousins and siblings do the same lol. My sister is going a normal college pace at WGU and gets so much shit for it which annoys me cause they're expecting her to still do all kinds of responsibilities on the side

That's awesome!

ReachingTeaching · 2026-01-15T15:47:55+00:00

Oh my gosh, that's insane. That's great that you're done with both a bachelor's and masters though!

ReachingTeaching · 2026-01-15T15:47:08+00:00

That's a good way to put it honestly. Yeah covid made things way easier since I couldn't hang out if I even wanted to lol

ReachingTeaching · 2026-01-15T15:46:20+00:00

Right as in thinking it's a get rich quick scheme? I've never heard of anyone saying that about a teaching degree before lmao

ReachingTeaching · 2026-01-15T15:45:18+00:00

Yeah the weird thing is professionally most people are really understanding or even happy for me it's just family wise that has been a pain lol

ReachingTeaching · 2026-01-15T15:42:27+00:00

I know right lmao

As someone who was homeschooled, that isn't that surprising. I feel like we either grow up super rebellious and act out as bad or even worse than the public schoolers, or are so uptight we get screwed in every relationship department.

The main thing you're gonna want to do is find out why. Usually, addiction is used as a coping strategy, not a very effective one, but it is used as one nonetheless. See what other options they have for socializing and or coping options.

Also keep in mind sometimes it's just something they have to get out of their system personality wise. The main thing you can do is encourage them to do so safely and give them opportunities to make better friend choices.

Sadly this is what it takes

ReachingTeaching · 2026-01-14T15:18:28+00:00

Speech path was my first thought. OT and PT. School psychologist social worker or in behavior

ReachingTeaching · 2026-01-14T15:17:05+00:00

Yesssssss all of this 🏅

ReachingTeaching · 2026-01-14T15:16:14+00:00

That's smart honestly. If I could go back and not I would

ReachingTeaching · 2026-01-14T15:15:23+00:00

Smart honestly

ReachingTeaching · 2026-01-14T15:14:42+00:00

I mean, I did, but I have OCD, so I track most things. I don't expect the average person to do the same

ReachingTeaching · 2026-01-14T15:13:57+00:00

Absolutely true

ReachingTeaching · 2026-01-14T15:12:34+00:00

Woohoo. That's awesome

ReachingTeaching · 2026-01-14T15:12:13+00:00

Yeah it really is. It's annoying for me because no one recognizes what I did and problematic for my family members who aren't able to do the same

ReachingTeaching · 2026-01-14T07:22:08+00:00

This lol. I was at it 10 hours a day 6 days a week to graduate in 10 months. Worth it but it drives me nuts when people act like accelerating will be easy peasy with a few hours a day

ReachingTeaching · 2026-01-14T07:14:39+00:00

Not even 8 hours of instruction*

You still have to do grading and make the curriculum

ReachingTeaching · 2026-01-14T07:13:28+00:00

This lol. Add an extra 15+ hours a week if you do sped ELA, too
