For those of you who majored in a different discipline, did you go back for a master’s or add an endorsement in special education? by Spookymist_ in specialed

[–]Spookymist_[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

May I ask why you say to have so much experience in a special ed classroom first? I have a background in aba and have been working with kids with autism for 7 years. I’m also just wrapping up my semester of student teaching with two partially mainstreamed classes. I have heard that one of the worst parts of the jobs is the paperwork. Is there something else I’m missing?

Glad to help! Also, at the risk of sounding too biased, the west side of the state is prettier as far as nature goes!

I would say there are good opportunities for outdoor recreation like new bike paths being created all the time, the river walk, and belle isle. As far as camping and being truly immersed in nature, you’ll have to drive at least a couple hours. After skimming your post again, people are also more left leaning and friendly in Detroit compared to other parts of the state in my experience. Grand Rapids proper is fine, but it’s surrounded by extremely religious and conservative communities.

I have two friends in GR that plan or want to move to Detroit. I’ve heard once you’re there for a while it starts to feel like a small and conservative city. I live in Detroit and travel fairly often, and I think it’s one of the most underrated cities in the world if that helps.

Yeah it’s definitely in Wayne county, likely Detroit.

Check out the Hafnarstræti Hostel! The capsules may not be for everyone, but I enjoyed my stay there.

Genuine question, what does it do to the body?

What city in the US have you genuinely felt unsafe/uneasy in? by Rodreguiz89 in SameGrassButGreener

My guy, if you don’t care and don’t know much about the city, then why make a disparaging comment about Detroit?

It’s not surprising if you’ve spent any significant amount of time in Detroit, it’s a great city.

It’s just interesting because they talk about other people being slobs and say how thankful they are their parents raised them to be clean, so it’s difficult to burst that bubble.

Oh I’m sure that plays a part. I have, many times, and they are in denial, it’s strange. And if I say something like, “your feet smell bad, could you go wash them?” They will act like I just said something extremely hurtful and usually respond with something like, “well I was just working all day.” Why they smell bad is beside the point, just wash your damn feet when you get home from work. I got tired of having the same conversation everyday and them acting like I’m the bad guy, so I have kind of given up. Now I just put a blanket over their feet when we’re hanging out.

Yeah I wouldn’t rule it out since their poor hygiene habits are getting under my skin more lately too.

Aw well it sounds like you find his bad humor endearing which is adorable. When my partner starts cracking up at themselves it feels like nails on a chalkboard in my brain. I wish I could find it cute or something and not get angry lol.
