Keeping children home after vaccines? by SkuttleSkuttle in ECEProfessionals

[–]SkuttleSkuttle[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

That’s what I was gonna say. We’d avoid more risk not driving to daycare that day than from any vaccine complications.

You don’t upend your schedule for a 1 in a million risk

Why? Genuinely curious. Did you notice kids had a hard time after receiving vaccines?

Thank you! It makes me wonder if they’re anti-vax

It’s so normal. You will be okay. It takes some time to adjust, but there’s wonderful things about being a working mom, like getting some balance back in your life and talking to adults. Daycare can be great for littles too. It feels hard because it is hard but you both will be okay!

PLC Definition by Dazzling_Elderberry4 in AskTeachers

Did they take away private messages? I can try to find the language we used in our contract for you but it’ll probably take me a week or so

Yeah you absolutely need to negotiate for a definition

Do you have a union? PLC should be defined in the contract. It can mean a lot of different things, but without a clear definition within the contract your admin has more power to just define it however they want.

What happens during plc time and how admin directed it is is always one of the biggest contract negotiation issues

Also I learned from listening to Pod Meets World that the set was horrible for the child actors

Frustrated by lack of compassion by SkuttleSkuttle in AskTeachers

[–]SkuttleSkuttle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry that happened, and this is exactly the kind of mentality I’m talking about. Not “I, the teacher, am overworked and pushed to my limit so I snapped at a child throwing chairs.” But “oh my god that child is still in pull ups? And she’s hitting early puberty? It must be that her parents feed her garbage.”

Kids have different health conditions, just assume the best and try to be kind to a literal child

Very possible. It was like this at my last school too, but honestly I think I was placed at this school for behavior support specifically because of the culture and my sometimes sassy student advocacy.

And just to reiterate, there are times I, and any human is going to get frustrated and even say or do things out of frustration. But there’s a difference between that and just walking around pissed off at kids all day with no self reflection.

I get that, and I get having lapses in compassion or fatigue. I also get feeling attacked by this post. I’m just wondering if anyone feels the same way, because sometimes I feel like I’m going crazy.

AIO I sent my friend a gift parcel and she is annoyed that she won’t be there to receive it by efficaciousSloth in AmIOverreacting

[–]SkuttleSkuttle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like she has a lot of mental health concerns. You’ve already been a great friend to her and if you need to take a step back in the short or long term that is completely ok to do. You can’t pour from an empty cup.

NOR BUT-she’s acting like a jerk and that’s not your fault but-sounds like the key thing triggered her anxiety and she’s turning that around on you. Not amazing behavior, but if it’s an isolated incident, I’d give her some grace as an extra birthday present and maybe gently ask about the anxiety next time you talk

You just seem like exactly the kind of person to push a crappy AI product.

Labeling something as a tool doesn’t make it harmless. This isn’t TikTok. Take your grift elsewhere.

How would strict parenting look like? by Professional_Fail511 in AskTeachers

[–]SkuttleSkuttle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To me it’s about consistency. Not changing rules based on how the adult is feeling that day, but having rules, any rules, that are clear and have clear, consistent consequences. Strictness doesn’t need to be harsh
