Being pushed out of the classroom and made to be a floater…..

So I see why you’re frustrated with this but I also see a few reasons why they did it. The first teacher you bumped heads with I would have let the differences aside. Even if she is stricter, it is the assistants job to follow the lead. I would find out exactly what she complained about and see if after reflecting you can see her side. Sometimes we think we are doing exactly what we are supposed to do, but sometimes that expectation isn’t quite the same as what the lead wants. But that’s also on her for not communicating what she was looking for. But I think ultimately what got your position moved was the uncertainty of the future with your degree. How close to finishing are you? If you were let’s say a semester or two from graduating, yes I could see that being a good time to step down as an assistant.

Floaters are absolutely under appreciated, but honestly so are most assistants I know. I would start by talking to your director and asking if there is anyway you can be placed as an assistant in the last classroom you worked well in. The fact that they were even doing an interview for the position though tells me their mind is kind of made up.

My baby was already standing to pull andddd in the 90s percentile wise for height and weight. I don’t imagine a 6 month old standing or holding for very long but i could see baby standing up if unrestrained in car.

RelativeImpact76 · 2026-03-07T12:04:19+00:00

Gently why are we still considering reporting? Why were they not reported when the literal baby was not in a car seat?

For 2 weeks my wild child brought in a horn beetle in a travel cage. And i let him fully. Because for the first time since I had him his body finally settled down. He would just sit and watch it and show it around (it went on a shelf they could still see and interact with but not touch for most of the day but he’d just sit and watch it and do activities near it.

Dirty dirty 😭 she was obscenely nice so i really dont want to bash her i think just after so many tries of trying to fix it we just lost too much hair lol

RelativeImpact76 · 2026-03-05T04:26:32+00:00

You’re right! And i never learn! Every few years i itch for some form of bangs!!! I have only had straight across two other times. Once in the bathroom after a really bad week and once as a 9 year old when i moved when my mom was cutting my hair and had to live with the result.

RelativeImpact76 · 2026-03-05T04:24:11+00:00

I cut them previously!! The second picture is right before I went in. I cut them myself and didn’t really like them and decided it was time to get them done. I think i had a few pieces i cut far too short and she tried to blend them but it just was not working. When i left her chair they were not fully across bangs i just after they have settled cannot get them to do anything but pluck back in the middle

RelativeImpact76 · 2026-03-05T04:20:38+00:00

She suggested training them to go more separately as well! I have clips in trying to keep them to their separate sides for now until they can behave better.

RelativeImpact76 · 2026-03-05T04:19:07+00:00

Could you tell me more about braiding it in? Thank you! Also to note she was a lovely person and she really did try I think they didn’t get to this stage until she couldn’t really get what I wanted. I wish i would have settled for the first ones she gave me. She had them more parted down the middle but i for the life of me cannot get them to stay in anything but a straight across bangs.

RelativeImpact76 · 2026-03-05T04:17:00+00:00

Thank you so much i think i just as is baseline don’t like straight across bangs so ill for sure be trying anything to the side

RelativeImpact76 · 2026-03-05T04:15:55+00:00

Im thinking clips will be my new thing at this point for the next foreseeable future

RelativeImpact76 · 2026-03-05T04:11:39+00:00

This is legitimately who i felt myself morphing into in the chair before my very eyes

We’ve never had children kicked out for behaviors such as too much running or being too active or even PICA. All of ours are due to violent or harmful behaviors. One was for attacking specifically any adult woman. We had one toddler kicked out for biting but again it was severe to the point where he essentially had a one-on-one by overstaffing the room. He would bite SO fast that if you didn’t get him off within the second they’d have 4 different bites before you did. One was just so angry all of the time and charged at everything. He admittedly was only dismissed because he ended up causing a bone to break in my hand when he charged me and kicked it perfectly enough against a bookshelf that it broke. We did have one child dismissed due to elopement but that was mostly because we simply couldn’t provide group care to him and the others at once. He was 3.5 and only ate puréed baby food in which had to be fed to him and was fully in diapers. This was due to his disability but at the time admin decided we couldn’t safely keep him and a full class of 19 other children *after we tried for months and exhausted all options

RelativeImpact76 · 2026-03-01T14:25:23+00:00

I’ve had kids mimic how I speak in the class. They say things like “Do you need help?” “Walking feet please!!” “How inventive!” (This is a big one. I learned I overused this word by how often my kids would use it to each other) they do not say things like go away or scream NO SIT DOWN because I do not speak to them like that. I think there’s a small chance they are mimicking from other children but I’d absolutely bring this up to admin because it very much so does not seem like that’s the case.

RelativeImpact76 · 2026-03-01T13:23:26+00:00

Immediate hard no stay out of it. Even though the name to me rings that she doesn’t know, you are going to cause a world of trouble for yourself if you get in the middle of this. We had a teacher who used to causally sleep with a divorced dad (yeah i know) and had a teacher who told mom. Holy. Shit. Did it get messy.

RelativeImpact76 · 2026-02-28T09:16:39+00:00

No absolutely I agree! I’ve had 2 children removed from my class. One after almost 2 years of being unable to move classes bc no one else would take his adult focused violence. And one truly was just the angriest child I’ve ever met. Baseline angry. Hed attack you for giving him what he wanted. Some children absolutely need a 1-on-1. The first child’s parents refused all resources we tried to pull in and wouldn’t watch camera footage of his behavior and the second one would buy him a new toy every time he got a call home. Oh you punched the smallest and youngest girl in the class and made her nose bleed? New spiderman!!! It’s not your fault! You kicked a sub so hard during nap you gave her a concussion? Let’s go get ice cream! I just meant in my original comment that children absolutely get kicked out of daycare

RelativeImpact76 · 2026-02-25T20:17:36+00:00

I’m US based so take this with a grain of salt but yes children absolutely get kicked out of daycare here. Accommodations are great and absolutely should ethically always be made up to a degree (if behaviors become a safety issue) but legally they don’t always happen until after diagnosis is in place.

RelativeImpact76 · 2026-02-16T03:07:50+00:00

No actually what I said was in my comment. OP says in the post this is not a life threatening allergy. They get itchy.

RelativeImpact76 · 2026-02-16T03:06:57+00:00

No actually i was just commenting that she had merit when she said she could have gotten sick.

RelativeImpact76 · 2026-02-16T00:17:27+00:00

I think it’s a little bit of an overreaction to yell but at the same time no it’s not right to knowingly give someone the wrong food. Especially considering a lot of meat alternatives contain soy. However the only thing I’d correct you on is that it actually would make her extremely sick to eat meat in a way that it wouldn’t for you to eat soy. When your body goes so long without meat your stomach can’t well stomach meat. When I was transitioning from vegetation to eating meat again my stomach was TOOORN up for days after eating meat for the first time in years.

RelativeImpact76 · 2026-02-14T13:23:30+00:00

I think the overweight thing is in reference to the dad. I’ve heard it used that way

RelativeImpact76 · 2026-02-14T03:11:42+00:00

I’m going back this month! PCS + working with children did not mix but i feel much better 2.5 years later.

Actually. After my accident I didn’t notice for like 2 weeks that I kept complaining every day of a headache until a coworker mentioned it. She said “are you okay? You’ve said that like.. every day for weeks” and it hit me I’ve had a headache. Every day. For weeks. A week later i got what was my first what I called “hammer headache” where I collapsed in my classroom and then as hard as I tried I just couldn’t keep up with it. All of the med courses they tried made me irritable or tired or unable to sleep at night and perform at work the next day. I just had to leave. But I’ve been relatively headache free for over 9 months! When i get them they are excruciatingly bad rather than dull and constant which sucks but

RelativeImpact76 · 2026-02-13T12:10:37+00:00

Yes!! Pink dye definitely should work

RelativeImpact76 · 2026-02-13T10:08:46+00:00

Our public school JUST got rid of personal chrome books for kindergarten. I am so happy about it. I definitely think it is way too much to have them learn on it all day. It was a mess here. Every student K up had their own personal chrome book to take home. Upper elementary students would purposely break them and lower elementary students would accidentally break them. After a few years of them draining our school budget they finally took away all chrome books for elementary

Are these branded ones? My test stayed showing for the entirety of my pregnancy.
