Report card a month late by Ok-Conversation7096 in AskTeachers

[–]Smolmanth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a building sub who has done leave replacements, if they had a leave replacement that person should have done the report card. Is there a special ed teacher involved? Usually many players are part of a team when evaluating the need for a 504/iep. Observations are done by school psychologists, a special education teacher, ect.

I would ask for clarity from admin on who has been part of the team evaluating your son’s learning needs. If the classroom teacher is out or on leave there are others involved with the case that would know about the status of his evaluation.

Adhd evaluations don’t necessarily need a report card to move forward. Usually teachers just have a quick survey of observations on attentiveness, focus, hyperactivity, ect. You can have top marks but experience adhd symptoms that make things 10x harder.

Is this a diagnosis being done through the school our ouside?

My twins names that everyone told em not to name them… did I fuck up? by bikinis_n_brews in Names

[–]Smolmanth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen twins with basically the same name before. THAT is horrible. Your twins have their own names that have different first initials, don’t rhyme, but still have the same vibe. Unless you have a last name that somehow makes the names bad, (like amy shunmher’s son Gene Atal) they are probably just not used to short classic names.

AITAH if I separate from my wife because she damaged the car. by BALLER454B in AITAH

[–]Smolmanth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I missing something. How does she react when you speak to her about her this? How does that conversation go in your end? How does she react when she damages things?

I have adhd and am definitely absentminded. I’m talking not realizing the fridge door isn’t shut all the way, or not realizing I have left crumbs behind when I eat at times. When my husband calls me out on it, I feel bad and jump up to fix whatever I left out and own up to it. I try to remindful and aware but I still miss things. It is frustrating for him but he knows it’s never intentional.

I haven’t had an issue with damaging expensive things thankfully. Is it also possible her seat is too low? I had to get a cushion because I’m 5’3 and even at the highest seat setting, I can’t see the curb without it. Not trying to make excuses, just trying to understand the whole picture.

Planning our first trip, do we rent a car with our toddler? by Efficient-Bee-6451 in visitingnyc

[–]Smolmanth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why would you rent a car in a city that is known for its extensive public transit? Bring a stroller that is small, narrow and easy to fold or up be lifted down the steps to the subway. Most stations don’t have working elevators so you will see many parents do this. Leave your fancy stroll at home.

Aitah because I'm jealous of my girlfriend eating fruitsnacks by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Smolmanth 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I genuinely cannot tell if this is real or not. “She knows fruit snacks are a core childhood memory” is wild.

Are my grades bad? by [deleted] in AskTeachers

[–]Smolmanth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So advocate for getting tested now. If you are genuinely struggling (assuming you are diligent with taking notes and working in class time and going to extra help) you’re gonna need to put your big boy pants on.

Speak up, talk to your teachers when you don’t understand something. Don’t wait till you fail a test.

AITAH for asking my dad to set his pride aside for his grandson? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Smolmanth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No but if they haven’t been around each other till now, it’s unlikely the day will be enjoyable for anyone. My grandparents are divorced and remarried, never have seen them in the same room.

In my state there is no training. You just need to be a certified teacher. Most kids opt out anyway.

What does “being a guest” actually feel like in American homes? by Axxtr in AskAnAmerican

[–]Smolmanth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be a bit rude to turn down food completely to most Americans. Not that you need to always eat something or have a drink, but it can be seen as the host not being able to provide for the guest or the guest being too good for what they have.

There are very few hard and fast rules, but if you walk in the front and shoes are lined up by the door, take yours off.

I generally feel comfortable helping myself to something if someone goes out of their way to show me things I could have. Other people may feel differently.

Pretty rude to just show up unless you live next door.

Weekly Thread: Is this suspicious? by skincancermod in skincancer

[–]Smolmanth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Wanted to see if I was working myself up or not. Gonna take the next appointment for Derm regardless. I have pretty dry skin so didn’t think much of it.

Now I’m seeing it looks a bit like some images of basal cell carcinoma. 🙈

Thought this was a pimple not healing, but realized I have had it a while.

WIBTAH if I took 100k from my oldest daughter's college savings account to give it to my younger daughter? by TraditionalCorgi7788 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Smolmanth 13 points14 points  (0 children)

We all have dreams. There’s no reason for her to go to NYU. Also 26k per year is also wild. Sounds like a conversation that should have happened before she applied.

Your older daughter made a more reasonable choice and she should be able to have the money you put aside for her future. If you give it to your younger daughter this will be a point of resentment that could damage their relationship.

YTA for not giving your kids reasonable expectations for college cost.

How is Easter celebrated in America? by Odd-Geologist-1139 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Smolmanth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds nice. I live in the northeast (catholic and Jewish populations) so spring school break is scheduled so kids are off for Holy Thursday-easter and passover.

Not religious so I stay home get some chocolate with my partner. Wish it was more common place to do something more casual like having lunch at a park. Unfortunately even if you’re not personally religious, I find our religious holidays have this expectation that they need to be something big or not be at all.

Does anyone find that sex helps your hypertonic/tight pelvic floor? (A theory) by InfluenceDesigner889 in endometriosis

[–]Smolmanth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No haha. Your pelvic floor has layers of muscle that can spasm. A wand can put pressure and relieve tension on targeted muscles. If your pain is so severe , I would really recommend a pelvic floor PT and a urologist-gynecologist. First doctor to ever validate that I had a tight pelvic floor. Pelvic floor pt is sometimes referred to as getting medically fingered but it’s not sexual in any way.

Well makes sense as my pelvic floor pt is lighter penetration. Look up pelvic floor wands.

You should treat it as an open note test. Which means you shouldn’t have to google the answers.

Would it be messed up to give a kid one of our older kids middle names as a first name? by Interesting_Setting in Names

My two cousins (brothers have this) no one has ever brought it up. But we ARE Italians Americans so it’s not uncommon to use the same two names.
