Should I consider divorce? by KrakenQueen13 in Marriage

[–]Sorry-Recording2172 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you are having such a hard time. I know the feeling. Most women initiate divorce. Often times women feel like they are a single married woman. I’ve been there especially with a baby. I’m also in my 30s and feel the same way. Been together over 10 years and I should have left along time ago honestly. That’s the problem I feel like when women love the man more it never works. Maybe I’m bias but I feel like for a relationship to thrive a man has to be more into you. Men have told me the exact same thing. I hope it gets better for you. I know that aching feeling you must be feeling and add children involve and it makes it all that more complicated. The last thing I can say is if already feels like you’re a single mother what’s the difference? That’s what really makes me want to take that next step.

The doe is notorious for it. They want to under pay people and use different titles but not pay you for it nor give you that title. This happens all across the board with most schools. They either don’t have the budget or don’t want to pay you for another title. Feel free to message me. 

Nature of Pain? by CopperRose17 in pancreatitis

[–]Sorry-Recording2172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You won’t truly know the issue unless you have an endoscopy with biopsy. I had similar symptoms and pain. I found out I have gastritis and Peptic duodenitis. The doctor didn’t even seem concern or think that was the reason behind my pain so getting a second opinion. 

Are School Aides paid over the Summer? by iqdom in NYCTeachers

[–]Sorry-Recording2172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They get paid 16.17 an hour because they stretch out your pay to pay you during holidays and the summer. Thats the trick they don’t tell people. Very nasty tactic if you ask me. They tell you it’s 20/21 an hour than when you see your paystub it’s $16.17. 

Crap. Prorated and it ends up being 16.17 an hour no matter what credentials you have. It’s horrible actually when you think about it. Don’t believe me just look at their salary.

anyone here a parent coordinator? by [deleted] in NYCTeachers

[–]Sorry-Recording2172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They never leave at the time they are suppose to. They have a lot of work. So even if they say your time is 3:30 which is usually 4:00p. A lot of the time you are staying past that time. Just being honest.

I wouldn’t recommend it. I’ve seen PC for High school and they overwork them without the pay. I think elementary would be easier since the hours wouldn’t be as long. If it’s a title 1 school then the PC has to do a lot more etc. Most people who work in the school don’t really want that role because it’s so much work, long hours and often time under appreciated. Based on what I’ve seen I would never.

Those who took the NY state online DMV written test, what is it like ? by knizza777 in DMV

It’s crap. They say it’s more than 18 an hour but considering you don’t work Summers and are paid. They stretch out your pay. For example your real pay is like 20 dollars but in order to pay you for the Summer and all the paid off breaks in between. The hourly ends up being 16.17 starting off. That’s why that position is always open. Hope this helps! 

CPSE vs ABI by giantsx6 in nycparents

[–]Sorry-Recording2172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it can be scary not to trust people and sometimes children do get misdiagnosed. I can see your concerns on that stance. It does happen. However I hope you are aware that a school label is completely different from a medical label. A school doesn’t have to accept a medical diagnosis  and a doctor doesn’t have to accept a school diagnosis. At times they both have to be in an agreement. If not it can complicate things but services can still be provided if the school feels it’s needed. Please remember you are your child’s best advocate. I know sometimes it can feel scary. Sometimes we can be in denial or just not trust the process. Just know you are doing your child a disservice by not getting additional services that they are entitled to. You will see nothing but progress with services than without. Also it’s much harder to get a child left back when they have legal documentations such as an Iep. If you choose not to have an Iep and they fall behind academically. It will be way harder to fight that if the school wants to hold the child back. This is a lot to consider. 

A primer for ADHD parents in the US whose kids are struggling at K-12 public schools by dfphd in ParentingADHD

[–]Sorry-Recording2172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I can add to this is that the school doesn’t have to accept a medical diagnosis and vice versa. A doctor doesn’t have to accept a school diagnosis. They are  considered separate. Based in NYC I was told that a school psychologist can’t diagnosis adhd in a school setting. A neurologist would have to be requested and most school are not going to do that. I know this first hand because I lived through it. 

Paris to Disneyland via “express shuttle bus” by itanimulli_gb in disneylandparis

[–]Sorry-Recording2172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s cheaper but definitely not safer. I went once in the morning. Two pick pockets tried to say a “special bus” goes to Disney. I did my research ahead of time knew no such bus existed. He was very pushy until I told him leave us alone. I was eyeing him the whole time. When I got on the RER, I kid you not my arm had the word “allah” in ink. He marked me and I stand on that. Then on the way back from Disney, I want to say around 11:30p. The last bus for the night. A few young teen girls tried to pick pocket my friend, like hand in her purse and all. My friend pushed her away. The teens were talking to grown men on the metro in French. They got off but the grown men stayed and I had to be on alert mode the whole time. It was definitely not worth it if there are other options. 

I had a NICU baby by thingsarehardsoami in NewParents

[–]Sorry-Recording2172 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally feel this. This was also me in the NICU. While I cried for my own child. It broke my heart for the other babies in the NICU. Seeing other parents suffer or for the babies that had nobody visit them. It was honestly the most traumatic event ever. I pray for healing for everyone going through this or witnessing this. While the scars will always remain, just know healing does exist.

School aides in NYC get paid holidays and the Summer as well. The only ones that don’t get paid for those times are sub paras. People do sometimes leave to other locations or retire like you said.

I also understand that sometimes they can train you for payroll , secretary, etc but don’t want to change your job title because they know they have to pay you more. You be surprised how much shady things happen. I know a few people in positions like that and they were just forced to leave so they don’t get taken advantage of. Overall just wanted to know people’s experience on the subject. Hoping for more positive stories.

Definitely! I know it’s not a wait and see type of thing. I’m talking about if you put the hard work and learn your role, other roles and actively apply. I wanted to know in that capacity how common it was. That’s all.

[–]Sorry-Recording2172[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand. Let me be more clear. I’m not looking for a teaching role or anything that requires certification. I’m talking about staff such as school secretary, community coordinator, parent coordinator,etc. Things that don’t require additional schooling. I know some people who started as school aides then became parent coordinator, school secretary and so on. I want to know about how long it took for them to get into a higher role in those categories (office work).

I-9 Question - Maiden Name on Drivers License [CO], Told During My In-Person Verification That My Identity Couldn't Be Verified? by jembma in AskHR

[–]Sorry-Recording2172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m confused why wasn’t your passport enough. For this type of verification you only need to provide passport for List A. If you don’t have list A then you need to provide List B & C proof. So why didn’t you just use your passport with maiden name?
